GREAT LENT: A SEASON OF INVITATION

For Orthodox Christians, there is no season more beloved than Great Lent.. Of course, Lent itself can be challenging with the communal expectation of fasting, increased prayer (both in services and at home), and in the various additional practices we take up. But when Orthodox Christians hear the word “Lent,” we know intuitively from years of experience that Lent is the ideal preparation for Holy Week and the glorious Resurrection of Christ (known among us as “Pascha”). It is a revival, of sorts, but in an ancient Orthodox key. This present season, then, presents an invitation to us all. To Orthodox Christians: we are called to enter more deeply into our Faith in Christ. Fr. Justin
