2024 Lenten Meditations from Episcopal Relief & Development
Episcopal Relief & Development is offering daily Lenten Meditations throughout the 2024 season to help Christians think deeply about their faith and actions towards other people.
Lent begins on Feb. 14, 2024 (Ash Wednesday). This year’s meditations, a compilation of daily reflections on humility, authenticity and justice, were authored by Miguel Escobar, an Episcopal Relief & Development Board member and the Director of Strategy & Operations at the Episcopal Divinity School in New York City. In his writing of the work, he has reviewed Scripture and pulled from his own personal faith and experiences as an advisor and educator to provide insights into how following Jesus Christ empowers Christians to act.
Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday
Congregations are also invited to observe Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday on February 18, 2024, or another convenient time during the season. Lent was officially designated at the 2009 General Convention of The Episcopal Church as a time for dioceses, congregations and individuals to remember and support the work of Episcopal Relief & Development. Although the first Sunday in Lent is the official day of observance, churches may hold a special service on any Sunday. Observations of Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday include offering a collection for the organization, holding a special prayer service for the partners and work of the organization, or other creative ways.
