Psalm 70:4 "Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad

great!"
Lent in the early days of the church
was a time of learning and preparation for new converts awaiting baptism at the
Easter Vigil. In the darkness of the spring night, the converts faced the west
and three times renounced all forces that would separate them from God. Then
they faced east, faced the direction from which the Easter dawn would soon
break upon them, and three times were immersed, naked and vulnerable, into
flowing water or pool. Thirsty souls began a new life in water and God’s Word.
Ho, everyone who thirsts, come!
O God, our springtime, blessed are you for
the waters that nourish the earth, for the springs in the desert, for the
waters of new life. Amen
- Take a walk. Look for signs
of spring.
