There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.
By Heidi Weaver-Smith Lent is about taking time to lose the things we can’t take with us as we remember what we cannot afford to lose. Lent frees us to remember our frailty and finitude, our reliance upon all the things that have taken God’s place as our home, and our need for God’s grace to find our way towards a future free from sorrow.
