My Soul is Dry—A Lenten Exploration at noon and 7:00pm
The Book of Psalms (or The Psalter) is the most quoted book in the New Testament, and is rooted deeply in Christian prayer, worship and song. Both intensely personal and wonderfully communal, the psalms invite believers into echoing (practicing) the voice of the Church’s Lord, Jesus Christ—a type of catechesis where members of the Church, in St. Paul’s words, “put on the mind of Christ.”
This Lent, Grace will explore seven particularly meaningful and important psalms, traditionally known as the Seven Penitentials. These seven psalms (6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143) are examples of sorrow for sin, repentance and desire for amendment and restoration—in other words, they are particularly fit for dry seasons in life!
Each of these psalms will be a prominent part of our prayer services on Wednesdays during Lent, as we explore the nature of sin, the purpose and structure of repentance and reconciliation, and the power of God’s forgiveness. We will pray, sing and ponder these psalms week by week, confident that God will pour grace into the parched places of our lives, starting with Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
