Lenten Meditation: Faith Acts

Every year during Lent, the Spiritual Life Commission of Christ Episcopal Church compiles and publishes a Lenten Meditation Book, containing submissions from our parish family that are intended to inspire, encourage reflection, and spark action in our community and the world. These meditations range from poems and quotes to Bible verses and prayers, as well as songs, personal reflections, and inspirational passages from well-known theologians or authors. Our LMB also includes a Daily Office for the Lenten season, as well as our Holy Week and Easter schedule. If you're nearby, you can grab a printed copy of our LMB at Christ Church while supplies last, or you can visit us here each day, as we'll post one meditation each weekday. You can also check our social media outlets; simply click the links in this post, or bookmark the icons at the top of this page.

We hope that you enjoy and appreciate these meditations, as they reflect our varied and vibrant Christ Church family. We're pleased to be able to share them with you.

FAITH ACTS

We want to live in faith, but all too often we stay in its comfort; we cherish this love given us, and all too often fail to pass it on. What is love when kept silent in the heart? In this body it shall turn to ash. Love lives and grows only when passed to others. Who is deserving of such love? None, and yet all are given it freely, and we as Christ’s body must do the same. So, take Christ’s love and pass it on through sharing acts. Let it blossom and flourish as it touches lives and transforms all of us - those giving, and those receiving.
