Loading...The Passionist Earth and Spirit Center in Louisville, has invited Episcopal churches individually or as a group to offer its Lenten faith formation program of conversion, which was produced to help the faithful observe in a more meaningful than simply giving up chocolate or some other personal indulgence.
Lent 4.5, Christian Simplicity, inspires and informs Christian households on how to use the traditional Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to care for God's creation, bring forth a just society, and nurture spiritual fulfillment. It offers practical opportunities for people of faith to apply church teaching on Gospel simplicity to their everyday lives.
Why 4.5? If the Earth were divided equally among all of us, each person living on the planet would receive 4.5 acres. Now consider that everything you need – food, energy, home, clothing, appliances, gadgets – must come from those 4.5 acres. That's your fair share. But realize it takes a staggering 22.3 acres to maintain the average American lifestyle!
The Passionist Earth & Spirit Center is located at 1924 Newburg Road. To learn more about the program, call 502-452-2749, or send an email to lent@earthandspiritcenter.org.
