Living as Resurrected Beings in the Midst of the World's Crosses
Reflections for Lent 2010

Daily reflections for Lent by Jean Stokan and Scott Wright:
"We begin this Lenten journey, therefore, profoundly aware of our own failings and brokenness in our personal lives, but also as a people and as a nation. . . But we know even more that we are 'loved sinners,' that we are created in the image and likeness of God. We are human beings called to celebrate our human dignity, our human diversity, our gifts of love and service that we offer to God and to each other so that life may truly flourish. Precisely because we know to Whom we belong, we rely on Jesus Christ who saved and empowered us to follow his way of peace and nonviolence by living as resurrected beings in the midst of the world’s crosses."

"This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and the crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown."

- Walt Whitman
