Devotions for Lent 2004
Introduction | |||
| Date | Devotional Title | Author |  Lent
is the 40 days before Easter, not including Sundays. It corresponds
with the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness. Originally it
was the time provided for training of candidates for baptism. In modern
times, it has become a period of self-discipline, spiritual reflection
and preparation for Easter.
