2023 Lenten Devotionals

Lent is the season in the Church year that leads up to Easter—Resurrection Sunday. The Lenten season commemorated the 40 days that Jesus was fasting in the desert, enduring the temptation by Satan, before entering His public ministry. The church traditionally encourages Christians to spend time in reflection and prayer during Lent, paying particular attention to the parts of the Bible that record the life of Jesus—the Gospels. During Lent we will follow the life of Jesus through the Gospel of Luke. This guide is an adaptation of one published in 2022 by The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection.
