The Season of Lent
Lent is the forty-day preparatory period before Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday.
Lent begins this year on February 6 and culminates on Easter Sunday, March 23. In the Christian
tradition, the season of Lent is a time of soul searching and repentance – a time for reflection
while taking stock of one’s life in preparation for the Easter celebration of the risen Christ.
This booklet is a collection of Lenten Reflections from contributors throughout the Edgewood
College community and various outside sources. Generally we have included only a portion of the
biblical text due to space constraints. We hope these reflections, based on readings in the Common
Christian Lectionary, serve as a guide and a point of inspiration for you during this year’s
observance of Lent.
