  • YEAR B in the Ages to Come
    LENTEN READER YEAR B In The Ages To Come... This year’s theme comes to us from the New Testement Reading from the fourth sunday in Lent: Ephesians 2:1-10 You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedi- ent. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-- by grace you have been saved-- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God-- not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. 1 Carl Jung, the great depth psychologist, is quoted as saying: “the foundation of all mental illness is the avoidance of true suffering.” If Jung is right, we would do well to take Lent more seriously or we may be heading dangerously close to spiritual pathology.
