On the verge of Ash Wednesday, have you thought about how God calls you to remember your "dust-ness" in this holy time? Might there be a practice you could take on during Lent in order to deepen your care for, and relationship to, God's good earth? Click here to read more thoughts of "Earth Care as Lenten Practice."
Once again, grassroots network Presbyterians for Earth Care has produced a timely, thoughtful, and helpful resource to help us think and pray about creation care as part of the Lenten season. This 2012 Lenten devotional resource is called "Feasting on God's Gifts; Fasting in Sorrow," and includes reflections for Ash Wednesday, for each week of Lent, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.
This Lenten devotional can be downloaded from the PEC web site. Reflections also will be posted on the PEC blog before the holy day or holy week that the reflection represents.
