Return to Lenten Meditations
Lent 2022: Learning to Live With God...
"Not my will but Thy will be done"

Lent is a time of preparation for the Paschal mystery, when we awaken more fully to the reality of resurrection life. When we realize that God is at the center of all life, the self-denial traditionally associated with Lent becomes,  ultimately, a process of self-fulfillment. Following Christ, we come to understand and experience our selfhood as intimately part of God's nature. Below, you will find material and practices offered with love by members of the Trinity community for your Lenten journey. Use the links sent in our Tuesday emails for new material, or just visit the website and browse at your pace. As we consider the overarching theme of these Lenten Meditations, we invite you to join us in using this Prayer to help you be more receptive to God's guidance in your life:  

Make known to me Your ways, O Lord;
teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth,
and teach me.

​~Psalm  25:4-5
Meditations, Week 1
Collect and Readings, First Sunday in Lent

Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be 
tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Link to readings:
Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13; Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16

+ Consider singing this well-known and beloved hymn first thing in the morning, or as you do a chore like washing dishes, or as you walk outside. Let it become your heart's song. 
+ Observe the colors and patterns in the painting. Who or what do you see, perhaps in relation to the Collect and Readings for this first week in Lent?
