7:30 p.m. Mondays: The Book of Exodus

The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Bible. It narrates the story of the Exodus, in which the Israelites leave slavery in Biblical Egypt through the strength of Yahweh, the god who has chosen them as his people.

Starting Monday, March 7, and on Mondays during Lent at 7:30 p.m., Father Mark offers a look at Exodus and how it applies to today's world.

The current week's readings are here; the past weeks' are here.

Access the session through this video link or on the conference phone line: (856) 861-3864; PIN: 924821, followed by #.

Our study of Exodus will be followed at 8:30 p.m. by a service of Compline.

The Virtual Preaching Monks Return for Lent.

Beginning Ash Wednesday, members of the Anglican Society of St. John the Evangelist, based in Cambridge, Mass., will preach during Lent, just as they did during the Advent season in 2021.

Their sermons will appear in this space up to and including Easter Sunday.

Br. James points us to the example of Mary and urges us to make her choice: to live with hearts that break open, causing us to love, to kneel, to follow Jesus, the promised Messiah of God.

What is Lent?

Lent is a season of the Church Year that calls Christians to focus on repentance and personal devotion in light of the coming celebration of Easter.

The 40-day period of Lent connects with many Scriptural events important in the history of salvation: the 40 days of the flood, the 40 years of Israel’s wilderness wanderings, Moses’ 40 days on Mount Sinai when he received the Law, and Jesus’ 40 days of temptation in the desert.

Lenten Meditations 2022

As Presiding Bishop Michael Curry reminds us, we can recognize God’s Way of Love in unselfish, sacrificial and unconditional acts.

At Episcopal Relief & Development, we are blessed to witness these acts in our partners’ unconditional and sacrificial work across the globe.

Here are Meditations for every day of the season of Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday.

These acts of Love are signs of God’s loving grace to us every single day. As you enter deeply into this holy Lent, we invite you to reflect on the unselfish and sacrificial works of our partners around the globe by reading the meditations of those who have witnessed this work firsthand.

Allow these meditations and your own reflections to bring you peace and hope and serve as a reminder that, in the end, Love wins.

The prophet Joel, speaking on behalf of the Lord, declares: “Return to me, with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”

This year, the prophet’s words have taken on new meaning. When we return to God with a penitent heart, we release our past, our sorrow, and we experience anew God’s mercy and compassion.

This Lent, journey with Bread for the World members to God’s wellspring of mercy and compassion and deepen your faith in our God who yearns for a world without hunger.
