"I have grown to understand the way that joy can be our witness, functioning as a testament to God’s faithfulness and an instrument for His glory." https://t.co/iiglyvknDL

There is, in the dust on our foreheads, the dust of all that came before us as well as the dust of the grave. Lent is a funeral—mine and yours.

The God that weeps for humanity calls us to something bigger than solitary sorrow or solitary pleasure. By accepting both hardships and joys, we embrace something better than temporary happiness. We embrace Christ.

"When my desires and my obligations contradict, there is not an easy way to prioritize the two. By placing myself at the center of my world, I may even cause greater pains and alienation." https://t.co/w9NANHrk3E

"I noticed how much I stood to gain from what I’d previously only construed as loss. Lent is a curious season because it’s one that can feel as much like a period of healing as it can suffering." @valerificent for our Lent series: https://t.co/2VCEdYobU0

"In Christian spaces, our tendency is to present only the parts of ourselves that are clean and resolved. However, such an image is incomplete." https://t.co/wuYhwFQ7Yl

"Both of our careers look different because we are together, but that is fine. It is a gift to learn that others outside of us make demands upon our time and our energy. Love always has an element of death to self." @esaumccaulley for NYT: https://t.co/fkp1XyaNEP

"But those who had stayed by the snack table left the hall, and the doors locked behind them, and they went away through the cold night to watch TV by themselves in their houses, and there was wailing and gnashing of teeth."

"The urge to justify ourselves by our works extends beyond our faith. I can scarcely think of a single Yale student who has not, at some point or another, compared their classes, extracurriculars, or general experiences with peers and friends." https://t.co/1HAxz6YA4D

"I am learning to raise my hands and reach out to my God, even if it feels like I’m going to lose everything in an act of surrender." https://t.co/GmvMVtPtYt

"During Lent, joy and melancholy move in tandem. This season brings into sharp focus the necessity of understanding that weeping and rejoicing may happen simultaneously for the Christian." @karisryu discusses mourning, joy, and God's goodness:

As we consider the many troubles faced around the world this Lent, as we cry out to God with our pleas and lamentations, let us remember that the living hope we have in Christ is sufficient to loosen the grip of bitterness.

"What is the real function of socially challenging music? Can music ever actually 'change the conversation'?"

The love of God saw its fullest expression when Jesus breathed his last on the cross.

Why the desert? What about it drives spiritual reflection, and what about it invites temptation?

[The Yale Logos @YaleLogos]

Lent is more than a cultural phenomenon, and it is more than a tradition. It is a powerful time for intentional spiritual reflection. It prepares our hearts for more completely perceiving and celebrating the shared resurrection we have in Christ. https://t.co/3PPLiMikHp
