A Lent of Mercy or a Lent of Sacrifice?
A Lent of Mercy or a Lent of Sacrifice?
Sermon by The Rev. Ed Bacon
March 1, 2026
This sermon reflects on how God’s mercy invites us into new life each day. Through the images of the shepherd and the vine, we are reminded that divine love already flows within us, though we sometimes block it through our choices. Even in moments of failure, God’s response is not condemnation but mercy that restores and renews us. Lent becomes an invitation to let that love flow again, living each day as a new beginning shaped by grace rather than guilt.
