Quote for Reflection (Sunday, February 27, 2022)

“The Season of Lent is like a roller coaster ride with emotions that are down and up again and again as the story of our salvation makes plain our sinful ways and the cost of our redemption. We begin with Ash Wednesday where we roughly bump up against our mortality. Here we know that sin and death are real, and they are real not just for someone else. Sin and death are real for us… [We] do know how the story ends and therefore in the midst of austerity and fasting we remember our faithful Savior and the Easter declaration that life is always victorious over our death, always!”
