A number of us at Relief have informally decided to prepare for Calvin’s Festival this year by practicing a spiritual discipline during Lent. Since we hope our words are pleasing to God, we’ve decided to read a psalm a day, learning how to worship God with words from his own inspired poetry.
We’d like to extend an invitation to any and all in the greater Relief community to join us and to tweet your experiences with a #LentRelief tag. There’s no strict program, but some of us will be starting with the “Psalms of Ascent,” nos. 120-127, which, given that Sunday is a “free day,” should take us through next Thursday, at which point we’ll let you know if we’ve picked a new set.
Maybe I’ll look for an Easter poem to wind everything up at the end.
