"To proclaim the Good News and heal the broken" ~Isaiah 61
Lent is a 40-day season leading up to Easter that begins on Ash Wednesday. It’s a time of self-examination and self-denial, modeled after the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness following his baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist.
The word Lent comes from an Old English word, lencten, which means “spring” or “lengthening days.” That makes sense—Lent happens as winter fades and the days grow longer, moving us from a season of reflection and repentance into the joy of Easter. The season lasts six weeks, but Sundays don’t count as part of the 40 days—they’re like little Easters, reminding us of the hope and resurrection we’re preparing to celebrate.
Ultimately, Lent is an invitation. It’s a time for us to deepen our faith, refocus our hearts, and develop spiritual practices that draw us closer to God.

This book is a dialogue between two spiritual seekers—one a Trappist monk and the other a married professional woman. It is two people “stuttering to articulate life’s universal questions from diverse contexts and perspectives.” Brother Paul writes as one steeped in silence and the daily rhythms of the ancient prayer practices of monasticism. Judith Valente writes as a professional woman attempting to bring a sense of prayer and contemplation to a scattered life in the secular world.

The Stations of the Cross (also called the Way of the Cross) is a traditional liturgical devotion commemorating the last day of Jesus’ life. The prayers and other spoken words in this devotion come from The Episcopal Church’s Book of Occasional Services.
All are invited to join with others in prayer at Resurrection as we pause to reflect and pray.

Remembered in Song is a reflective Lenten journey shaped by Scripture and beloved hymns. Together, we will create space for memory, silence, and prayer, honoring the faithfulness of God across the seasons of our lives and discovering how that faithfulness continues to hold us today.
One of the greatest healing sacraments of the Christian Church is the Rite of Reconciliation of a Penitent. This sacramental Rite - also known as “Confession” - is truly a gift to the church as it offers confidential counsel, reconciliation, forgiveness, assurance, and strength. To many, it has been a source of great comfort as their souls are renewed and hearts encouraged to continue their faith journeys.
While The Episcopal Church does not require participation in this sacrament, she does suggest, “All may, some should, none must.” The choice is yours alone. For more information or to schedule a private offering of this grace-filled sacrament, contact Mother Sandy.
