What would it mean to give ourselves to practicing a genuine Lenten journey? <\/p>\n<p> Martin Burkholder notes that the scriptures selected for Lent 2009 &#8220;invite us to encounter significant God-initiated covenants and the journey of Jesus from being anointed by God through baptism to faithfully surrendering his life on the cross. How might we respond? <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I invite us to take the risk of moving toward a genuine Lenten journey this year. Let the sense of emptiness come and strive to not fill it with fluff,&#8221; Martin Burkholder states. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ponder the big questions of life and faith and even doubt. Embrace the depths of reflection that does not quickly resolve. We can be travel companions.
