The Lenten Season
Preaching
Lectionary Preaching Workbook
Cycle A, THIRD EDITION
The Lenten season may not be the longest season in the church year but it is one of the most important seasons, if not the most important season of the year. It is a time for spiritual preparation through repentance and growth in faith for Easter. It is the time of the church year when the passion and death of the Savior come into focus. It begins with a special day of repentance, Ash Wednesday, and ends in the depth of sorrow and tragedy on Good Friday. The name of the season, Lent, does not reflect the mood or message of the season.
