As Lent is a time of reflection, a thought from the Divine Service Guide of the first Sunday provides our theme for this month. Speaking of those in eternity:

Let us bear in mind that the realm in which human beings find themselves is not defined by the circumstances in which they lived. Rather, the distance that separates them from God is the result of their own choices, the way they use their conscience and reason to make their decisions.

We can of course say the same thing is true for us right now - the distance between us and God is the result of our choices and decisions. What is your proximity to Jesus Christ? This will be the focus of our reflection for March, and we will explore various aspects in each divine service.

What is your proximity

...to the Shepherd?

...to the High Priest?

...to the Vine?

...to evil? (conversely)

...to the table?
