to the Christian Lenten season Wednesday.


The president issued a Wednesday statement in which he wished “everyone observing Ash Wednesday a peaceful and prayerful day.”

“For Catholics and many other Christians, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season that concludes with the joyful celebration of Easter Sunday,” the president said in a statement.

“Today, millions of Christians will be marked on their foreheads with the sign of the cross,” the president said. “The imposition of ashes is an invitation to spend time during Lent fasting, praying, and engaging in acts of charity.”

“This powerful and sacred tradition reminds us of our shared mortality, Christ’s saving love, and the need to repent and accept the Gospel more fully,” he said.

“We join in prayer with everyone observing this holy day and wish you a prayerful Lenten journey,” Trump added. “May you grow closer to God in your faith during this blessed season.”

Susie (Mrs. O.S.) Hawkins ❧ Lenten Journey ❧ Ash Wednesday to Easter

"I reconnected with a friend from a liturgical background who proved to be a valuable resource for all things Lent. Her encouragement then and even today has pushed me to pursue and eagerly anticipate this forty day period"

"Lent is a word, a term describing a period of prayer, fasting and repentance and that is most definitely in the Bible! The Lenten journey is also characterized by sacrificial giving and serving. If your purpose in Lent is to draw closer to Jesus and recognize His sacrifice in a fresh way, then you are spot on."

"in Louisville, KY... about 15 percent of students at SBTS walk around with ash on their forehead...(even some Profs if memory serves me right)"

Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission ❧ Fasting and Feasting during Lent

"The Lenten season begins today. Lent is a time when many, even within the Protestant tradition, fast from various food or habits for 40 to 46 days. For some of us, it might serve as an opportunity to fast from social media or the news....this season, let us feast on: Jesus who is the bread of life (Matt. 4:4; Jn. 6:35; Jn. 6:48-58) and God’s Word, breathed out by him, which gives knowledge, wisdom and life (Psalm 1:2; 2 Tim. 3:16)....If you’re interested, this interview with Justin Taylor, co-author of The Final Days of Jesus, can help you understand why many remember and partake in Lent this season—and may even persuade you to do the same."

Catholic News Service, Washington, D.C. • Growing interest in Lent is giving Protestants something in common with the Catholic Church

"Capitol Hill Baptist is a Washington church....it doesn’t discourage the practice among members of the congregation."

Lenten Spiritual Disciplines ❧ Nathan Finn

"I’m a convictionally reformational Baptist....I will be observing the Lenten season for the next forty days, as I have done virtually every year for the past dozen years."

"consider practicing some of the following spiritual disciplines during this season:...fast through breakfast and lunch...extra time in prayer and Scripture meditation....extra meditation on the gospel...partial media fast like giving up television or internet....Memorize one of the passion accounts....extra time reading through a devotional book."

So I suppose you have an agenda by derailing this thread.

I gave up watermelon for lent. I am not planning so much for a lent fast as a fast lent.

I like he embraced the Gospel publicly, but I hate he equated the faith of Jesus Christ with Roman Catholicism.
