Lent 2019

Meeting Jesus on the MarginsMeditations on Matthew 25In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus urges us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, and visit the prisoners. These reflections, by well-known faith leaders, provide boots-on-the-ground stories of serving and being served by “the least of these.” These daily meditations

explore our own hunger, vulnerabilities, and the times we are imprisoned, either self-imposed or by circumstance.$5 | $4 each for 10+ | #2381 |

Inspired by the Way of Love, Forward Movement invites you to explore and respond to how Jesus is tugging at your heart.

How is God calling you to enter the holy season of Lent? What path will you walk during these forty days? While the season of Lent calls us all into a particular period of reflection, we choose different journeys. Depending upon where we are in our own seasons of life and faith, we may be called into a time of deep introspection, contemplation, and prayer. Perhaps God is calling us to an outward focus on works of mercy. Or maybe we need a time of formation, to connect our hearts and minds as we walk in love.

We offer three broad paths built around the Way of Love, the Presiding Bishop’s call for practices that support a Jesus-centered life. Each path suggests a primary resource as well as numerous others that expand on the central theme. We offer these as guideposts, as trail markers, knowing and hoping that you will choose your own path during this Lent, and in doing so, make a choice to choose Jesus.

GO: Works of Mercy Where do you meet Jesus? The beginning of our Ash Wednesday liturgy explains that part of observing a holy Lent is to remember Jesus’ gospel of “pardon and absolution.” Yet Lent is not about confession and repentance as punishment but as a profound, grace-filled unburdening so that we might encounter the living Christ

in all. When we go out, when we choose a commitment to sacred works of mercy, we set aside our notions of “otherness” and choose Christ, meeting him right where he tells us he will be—in the hungry and thirsty, the stranger and the naked, the sick and the prisoner.

WORSHIP: Walk in Love Sunday after Sunday, in Episcopal churches across the world, people gather to worship together. As part of the Holy Eucharist, one of the verses that we often hear week after week is, “Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice

to God.” This verse is used in the offertory sentence, which comes just as the people’s offerings are collected, and is a way of pointing people toward the sacrament of Holy Eucharist that we are about to receive. We are encouraged to make connections between our Sunday prayers and our daily lives. One way to strengthen these connections is to choose to learn more about our tradition as Episcopalians and particularly how The Book of Common Prayer reflects our beliefs and shapes our lives.

Are We There Yet?Pilgrimage in the Season of LentFellow pilgrims share their stories: about following yellow arrows along the Camino and white blazes through the Appalachian Trail to bearing witness to the pain of historic lynching sites in the American South. Contributors recount their search for healing and wholeness at Marian shrines, in a reunion with birth parents, and around a prayer circle in a mental hospital. $7 | $5 each for 5+ | #2450 |

Walk in LoveA new online course from ChurchNextJoin ChurchNext for a series of five online classes on the Christian life and basic beliefs of our faith, based on the popular book Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs & Practices (available for purchase at www.ForwardMovement.org). Guided by authors and Episcopal priests Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Shobe, we invite you to walk through the liturgical year, the sacraments of the church, habits of daily prayer, and the teachings of Anglican Christianity. See how our prayer shapes our belief and our lives and how our beliefs lead us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.$10 individual course | FREE for ChurchNext monthly subscribers ($9/month)

PRAY: Pilgrimage & Praise Since the day we left Eden, the people of God have been trying to make our way back to the place we most deeply belong—to the literal dust of our making and the unfathomably deep heart of God. The travels and travails we witness throughout the Bible and see most clearly in the life of Jesus

bring to mind a quote from spiritual activist and writer Ram Dass: “We’re all just walking each other home.” Pilgrimages—and pilgrims—come in all shapes and sizes: Whether we embark on arduous journeys on desert paths or mountaintops or through the difficult terrains of the soul, we come to realize that the journey is the heart of the endeavor. This Lent, choose to walk with Jesus on a path of prayer, pilgrimage, and praise.
