 Main Liturgical Seasonal Activities
The Season of Lent
|
|
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.
The 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 the need which all Christians continually have to renew
their repentance and faith.
I invite you, therfore, 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.
The Book of Common Prayer, pages 264-265.
