Lent--the Epitome of Our Whole Life
hristians must
always live in this way, without any wish to come down from their cross--otherwise
they will sink beneath the world's mire. But if we have to do so all our
lives, we must make an even greater effort during the days of Lent.
It is not a simple matter of living through forty days. Lent is the epitome of our whole life.
-- Sermon 205, 1
Prayer. Lord Jesus, you suffered for us not for yourself. You bore the punishment for no fault of your own so that you might abolish both the fault and the punishment.
-- Sermon 136, 6
