2024 Lenten Meditations

During Lent, we pray, “Create and make in us new and contrite hearts.” Episcopal Relief & Development’s 2024 Lenten Meditations, written by Miguel Escobar, focus on embracing this new heart, this new life in Christ, and looking deep within ourselves and acting in ways that seek and serve Christ in others. Visit episcopalrelief.org/Lent to subscribe to daily emails, read the meditations online, or download a PDF.

Music Notes

Hymn 439: What Wondrous Love is This

Few hymns capture as well as this one the awe we feel when we think about the gifts Christ gave us. Its repeated phrases give voice to the inexpressible, both in the ineffable love of God and in our own stumbling, inadequate response to that love. New to Hymnal 1982, this song has many renditions in both shape-note and standard hymnals. The number of versions displays the life of this hymn for 160 years: in the folk process, every community has contributed to the song’s history and use. Truly, “millions join the theme” to praise the great I AM. - Donna Wessel Walker

Wondorous Cross (Wilby)

This morning’s anthem by Philip Wilby (b.1949), co-founder of the Leeds University Liturgical Choir in England, is a setting of Isaac Watts’ famous hymn. - Dennis Powers
