The Rector’s Letter
March 17, 2024
Dear Friends,
It is Friday morning as I type these words. As I look out my office window, what is striking today is that the rectory yard is awash in color. Tulips and daffodils have pushed up through the dead thatch and have opened their blooms. I see colorful buds on the magnolia tree. Spring is about to spring. What is more, here comes the Fifth Sunday in Lent, meaning we are on the verge of beginning the holiest week of the year. Palm Sunday is March 24.
Back on the First Sunday in Lent, we heard how Jesus embarked on a period of fasting and prayer in the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan. Still today, Christians use Lent to emulate the wilderness experience. We might give something up or take something on as a show of resistance against forces that try to corrupt us. It is always a journey, and if you really stick with it you may find yourself wondering if you are facing an actual spiritual foe, or merely following too much the devices and desires of your own heart.
