We use the Revised Common Lectionary, a list of Bible readings used by many churches and denominations around the world.
The specific readings, the reflection that begins our worship, and a guiding question for this season are below.
2023 Lent Lectionary: It Depends on Faith
Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion – its message becomes meaningless.
— Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism, p. 3
