A Holy Journey

By The Very Rev. Carol Wade

By The Very Rev. Carol Wade

Lent opens our eyes to fresh perspectives and new possibilities as we journey together toward God's dream for our world.

T

he season of Lent is a springtime of the soul when we prepare to live the new life of resurrection. Lent, an Anglo-Saxon word for spring referring to the lengthening of days, is a season that summons us to travel a new road on our journey to Easter rejoicing.

Shrove Tuesday provides our transition into Lent. We gather for one last carnival night of feasting and fun as we anticipate the solemn call of Ash Wednesday. Along with our feast of pancakes and Cajun fare, one of the playful celebrations of Shrove Tuesday is the “burying of the alleluias.” During the season of Lent, we do not use the word "alleluia", and so on Shrove Tuesday we symbolically bury our joyful shouts of "alleluia" until they rise again at the first celebration of Easter. Finally, we gather in the garden to burn the palm branches collected from last year’s Palm Sunday celebration for their conversion into the dust and ash that will mark our foreheads at the Ash Wednesday services.

During Lent, the church is also called back to its essential story, “that Christ died for our sins in accordance to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day ” (I Corinthians 15:3-4). Lent, therefore, is traditionally a time when we prepare candidates to enter this extraordinary story through the Sacrament of Baptism at the Easter Vigil and anticipate celebrating the Rite of Confirmation during the Easter season.

Our Lenten journey is modeled after the forty days that Jesus spent in the desert of temptation. Week by week, the Lenten scriptures invite us, both individually and collectively, to examine the things that lead us into temptation as we are led into a process of self-examination, forgiveness, and new life. As we reconsider particu-

lar behaviors that draw us away from living the life that God intends for us, we are reminded of the sufficiency of God’s grace, and give thanks to God for a love that never lets us go. Through the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, our hearts are opened to God and our lives expanded in service with others.

The gift of Lent is this: as we reflect on the love and hope that is ours in Christ, it opens our eyes to fresh perspectives and new possibilities as we envision God’s dream for our cathedral and our world.

I wish you a holy Lent. Ϯ

MUSIC

ASHLAND TRIO AND CHORAL EVENSONG

By Canon Erich Balling

T

he Lenten season brings many opportunities through worship and music to seek and find God in our sacred and inspiring Cathedral space. One of those moments is on Sunday, March 16.

At 3:30pm, the Ashland Trio

Richard Wayne Dirksen, Charles Lang and an anthem by Charles Stanford titled, A Song of Wisdom. This composition is one of six biblical songs, Op. 113 Stanford wrote for treble voices in 1909. It features a text from Ecclesiasticus, which in part reads: “And my branches are branches of glory and grace, And my flow'rs are the fruit of glory and riches. Come unto me, ye that are desirous of me and be ye filled with my fruits.”

May we all find a deeper purpose and meaning to our lives during this Holy season. Ϯ comprised of cello, flute and viola will perform in recital. The trio is known throughout the bluegrass for its expressive playing and rich phrasing.

Back in the 1990s, Donald Jackson observed the monks of Saint John's Abbey processing with their Book of the Gospels for Sunday Mass, and he recognized the importance of "their book." To create a Bible that would capture the beauty and tradition of centuries of liturgy and carry it into the future—that is the vision that united

a calligrapher in Wales with a group of Benedictine monks in Minnesota.

These are intended to reflect on “Our Home," a spiritual place crafted from our life journeys, individually interpreted and expressed through various media.

A SEASON OF SELF-DISCOVERY ... AND SUSHI!

By The Rev. Joe Mitchell

D

uring my first Lent as a Postulant for Holy Orders (one of the many stops on the road to becoming ordained) I told a priest with whom I worked that I would be fasting weekly. She asked me, “Why would you do that?!” And honestly, I did not have an answer for why I was doing it. Needless to say, I did not fast weekly during Lent that year.

In the past year the Cathedral Young Adults have been engaging in many conversations surrounding the “whys” of what we do. One example: why do we give things up for Lent? Some said that they give things up because they are told, while others shared that they prefer to try something new as a way of taking up a discipline that, perhaps, they will take with them into Easter and Ordinary Time.

Such conversations led last year to the creation of Sushi Fridays, a tradition that the Young Adults will continue this Lent. This gathering allowed those giving up meat during Lent to observe their discipline, while it also challenged others to try something new for the season. One

of our members tried a piece of sushi for the first time in his life! The jury is still out about whether he will join us again!

Lent is about a journey of self-discovery, one that leads us to the realization that all that we will ever need comes from God. Sushi Fridays, which will be held every Friday during Lent, is one of those times when we gather around the table of fellowship and find God in the community and the self-discovery that happens when we try new things.

So come join us as we journey into this holy Lent with renewed focus and energy, as we ask questions and move deeper into our relationship with God. We’ll be sure to save a sushi roll for you!

For more information on Sushi Fridays, including dates and locations, contact The Rev. Joe Mitchell at jmitchell@ccclex.org. Ϯ

Observance of a Holy Lent

Dear People of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord’s passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for them by a season of penitence and fasting. This season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to the fellowship of the Church. Thereby, the whole congregation was put in mind of the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior, and of the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith.

I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word. And, to make a right beginning of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, let us now kneel before the Lord, our maker and redeemer.

“Winter Inspiration” Exhibit

“Winter Inspiration” opened on February 9 and concludes on March 30.

“I was always fascinated with winter -- the trees with no leaves, the ice and snow that blanket the earth and the quiet, the insulated quiet. God’s power is reflected in the winter season. It certainly can be daunting but it also has great beauty with sun glistening off the flat snow covered ground, water dripping off an ice covered branch and blue shadows that stretch across the landscape. These are all things that only God can create. This is why paintings in winter are fascinating; there is something about the cleanness of winter, the color in snow, and the power of God to slow things down.

The artist tries to capture some of the things we see during this season, the things that speak to us, and the things that create that memory cascade of what winter means to us.”

COLLEGE

EXPLORING THE BOOK OF DANIEL (NO, NOT THAT ONE!)

By The Rev. Joe Mitchell

H

aving just completed our study of past Books of Common Prayer, the Episcopal Campus Ministry will be shifting its focus this Lent to a different kind of study. Starting Thursday, March 13, we will be engaging the popular, yet short-lived, NBC series The Book of Daniel.

Starring Aiden Quinn as The Rev. Daniel Webster, this 2006 drama addresses a variety of issues, including: homosexuality, alcoholism, prescription pain addiction, adoption, women’s ordination, and much, much more. And while these topics may not be new to most television-watchers, they are presented in a very different light, as they are experienced by an Episcopal priest, his family, and their congregation.

The idea of exploring such topics came about in a discussion over dinner, when several UK students were asking questions about how the Church addresses many of the issues of our day and age, especially those that some might consider controversial. When someone asked if there was a series of books or films that we could look at that would help generate more conversation, it became clear which series would be right up our alley!

Unfortunately for The Book of Daniel, it lasted a mere six episodes due to the controversial nature of some of its topics. However, those who have seen it know how impactful it is.

“I watched it a few years back,” said Stephanie Mattingly, “It’s definitely not like any story about a church that I’ve ever heard before.

But that’s what makes it interesting. So I’m really looking forward to watching it with the group.”

If you’re interested in joining us for our journey through this provocative series, swing by St. Augustine’s Chapel on Thursday nights during Lent. We’ll have a FREE MEAL at 7:05, move into our program, and finish it all off with Nighttime Prayer at 9:35. Hope to see you there! Ϯ
