Jeff - thank you for this wonderful treatise on Lent and our response to it. I'm teaching the opening Lenten Study after church on Sunday - - May I please use it? - with appropriate citing of course
I just commented on Stephanie Duncan Smith's Substack that I definitely am not feeling Lent this year. After losing two of my cats in two months and helping my uncle transition into hospice with his grade IV glioblastoma, I'm well aware of my own mortality. It's been a very, very rough past few months. Thank you for the reminder that grace is a part of Lent, too. Between the two posts, my perspective on Lent this year is changing for the better.

Oh, absolutely! It’s a public share. Credit appreciated but not required. 😁

Stephanie, you're describing exactly why I wrote this. Thank you, and I'm glad it helped you.
