The Seeds Sown Before Great Lent

We are about to embark on a tremendous journey together with our Lord and with each other- traveling with Him, through His life, Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection. This period is called the opening of the Triodion, the beginning of the weeks before Great Lent. We are invited to step out of “Caesar’s grasp” for a time, “now lay aside all earthly cares” and attend to a world of spiritual refinement and benefit for our eternal soul.

The next four weekends help us to lay the foundation stones for a good Lent. The themes are explored below so that we will be attentive and ready: Humility, the Mercy and Love of the Father, the Last Judgment and Forgiveness.

We seek to “meet the Lord” in the temple of our own heart and to prepare for this encounter through repentance. Let us follow the themes of the weeks: The Seeds Sown Before Great Lent.
