LENT WITH UNION
LONGING
"And let us pray that our love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help us discern what really matters" (Philippians 1:9-10).
Lent is a 40-day journey of prayer and discernment in the wilderness of this world. This Lent, we reflect on longing—longing for the Spirit of God, longing for healing, longing for community. Likewise, we will be critical of the desires we have internalized from this world. As we root ourselves in God's beloved community, we pay attention to the divine longing of the Spirit working within us.
In this season, we are all invited to take on a spiritual practice in community. See the many ways we are praying, reading, writing, and discerning together, and sign up for one this Lent.
