Lent Themes - Week 2

For those of you trying photos on a Lent theme the readings for this week are:

Mark 8: 27-38 - Where Jesus asks Peter 'Who do you say I am?' and then Jesus predicts his death.

The Old Testament passage is Genesis 17: 1-16 but I for one don't want to see any photos on that!!!

The Psalm is 22: 23-31. The epistle is Romans 4:13-25.

So, stuff about following along a difficult path, questions, statements of faith, take up your cross...

For some great commentary try Disclosing New Worlds. Good luck!

Lent Themes - Week 1

Lent starts today.

So for the next few weeks how about we try to post some photos on the themes of Lent?

Each Sunday in Lent has a set text. We'll work on the text for the coming Sunday. It's Mark's Gospel this year and if you want to look ahead then you can find the readings on The Text This Week. If we get good at it we could do a daily theme for Holy Week, between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.

We're starting with the verses for Sunday 1 March, Lent 1B.

So, for week 1 the theme is... Temptation.
