Temptation of Christ, Nicholas Roerich, 1933

Welcome to the Lenten Season at Peace.

As we embark on this 40-day journey with Christ toward the cross and empty tomb, our relationship with God through the covenant of baptism is renewed. Returning to our baptismal call, we are set free to more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world.

Today’s gospel tells of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. His forty-day fast becomes the basis of our Lenten pilgrimage. In the early church Lent was a time of intense preparation for those to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. This catechetical focus on the meaning of faith is at the heart of our Lenten journey to the baptismal waters of Easter.

As we celebrate Christ’s presence in the Bread of Wine of the Eucharist, we receive bread for the journey.  To tune into the Live Stream broadcast of this service at 10:30am, click HERE.
