We start Lent this year telling a story that begins, “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor….”
This is big clue of what Lent invites us toward in Liturgical time, or story time. We’re invited to think about those times when life feels like we’re wandering in a desert ourselves and then to realize there’s nothing at all unusual about this! We come from a long line of people who know what it’s like to be lost.
And the invitation continues with the the very compelling question that follows—How do we find our way? Tempting as it is for a priest or preacher to give ‘a definitive answer,’ it’s really a personal question, don’t you think?
