In an effort to make Lent a holy time for you we have prepared this daily devotional for use during the season. There are 47 different entries, one for each day, containing 47 different passages of Scripture and a devotional reflection from 47 different Anglicans across Canada. We offer this resource to you in humility and gratitude and pray that it helps you grow nearer to our Lord in faith this Advent.

Let me pose the question to you that I’ve been sitting with recently: Where have you failed in the last two years? What are you learning from that?

What gifts has God, in his manifold wisdom and grace, given to you? How might God want to make his power and love known to others through those gifts? Perhaps something for us to prayerfully contemplate this Epiphany.

How is this possible? How is it possible to live in this world and not be overcome with worry? How is it possible to rejoice even in the face of great suffering? He tells us, did you catch it? “The Lord is near.” Paul was convinced and convicted about the presence of Jesus and that transformed his life so that even from a prison cell worry had to give way to rejoicing. 

The world is passing but the Word is enduring. So, where is your hope rooted and grounded today? In the world or in the Word, in Christ?
