Lent with Peter: A Journey We Share
This Lent, we trace the steps of Peter, Jesus' close confidante. In him, we glimpse both unshakeable faith and wobbly moments, dear friendship and denial, unwavering conviction and fleeting wanderings. Peter’s journey reflects our own - the ongoing quest to navigate life while chasing a flicker of divinity.
Guided by the hymn "Come Thou Fount," we'll sing our way through Peter's story, binding our restless hearts to God. Faith, we affirm, is a constant journey, not a stagnant destination. Wandering is exploration, not necessarily abandonment of or distance from God. Peter embodies this. He drops his nets, walks on water, stumbles to the empty tomb, swims to meet the risen Christ. He stumbles, falls, yet keeps yearning, searching, loving. In him, we see God's embrace for the imperfectly faithful, for they are the ones God calls.
This Lent, we will look for ourselves in the stepping stones of Peter’s story. We will reflect on the stages of our own faith journeys as well as who and what has shaped us along the way. As we wander, let us tune our hearts to sing God’s grace. May we rest in streams of mercy, never ceasing.
