Mark 1:12-15—1st Sun. in Lent-b
Notice how quickly Mark moves from Baptism to temptation. So too, it was this way at your baptism. when you were baptized, your life became a battleground between God and Satan. Satan will not be satisfied to simply let you go. No, Satan will battle for your soul now more than ever! God knows this, and so He sent Jesus to receive all the assaults and crafts of the devil in your place.

Solemn Feast: Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. During the 40 days of Lent, God’s baptized people cleanse their hearts through the discipline of Lent: repentance, prayer, fasting, and alms giving.

The Time of Easter — Lent
To prepare to celebrate the feast of the Resurrection the Church sets aside a period of preparation. This forty-day preparation was first prescribed for baptismal candidates and became known as Lent. The observances of Lent are concrete reminders of the greater solemnity of this season, yet Lutherans emphasize the Gospel of Christ as central even to this penitential season. The Gospel on the Sundays in Lent do not speak of Christ’s Passion, rather they prefigure the great Easter victory.

What are Ember Days?
he Ember Days were originally days of prayer, repentance, and fasting. After the Reformation, the Ember Days themselves became for Lutherans one of the roots of the evangelical “days of repentance”
