Lent 2022 ~ Women of the Passion
There are different groups of women in the life of Jesus the Christ: women who were healed by Jesus physically and spiritually, women who followed Jesus and provided for his ministry, obscure women whom Jesus noticed, and the women who are his family. Over the five weeks of Lent we will explore the stories of these women of faith asking ourselves -
What are they saying to us in our time and space?
Not all the stories of the women we explore in this study take place in the last week of Jesus’ earthly life. That is because it is the whole of his public ministry that leads to Holy Week and what we refer to as the Passion of Christ.
Throughout Lent we will Meet the Women of the Passion. Who knows, we might learn something about ourselves, and more importantly about the Divine?
