Because Lent is a season when followers of Jesus intentionally try to move closer to God, this year, we will try to move closer to God by considering the countless ways we encounter God through our senses.
Each week, we’ll focus on taste, touch, sight, smell, or hearing. We’ll share reflections from some friends of Lutheran Campus Ministry to start you thinking. There will be a simple prompt or two to invite reflection (and sharing if you like).
God created our bodies and gave us marvelous senses through which we engage with the world around us. Every day, whether we think about it or not, we encounter God’s presence through sensory experiences that are holy or silly or powerful or unremarkable. This Lent we will move closer to God by noticing and reflecting on these sense-driven experiences.
Blessings to you as Lent begins. May we all sense God’s loving presence.
