This Lenten Guide is a counter-cultural attempt to move away from selfish satisfactions that harm us. While we admit that using the adjective “deadly” for virtues is meant to be catchy, it also communicates the importance of these virtues. As in being “deadly serious,” we commit to being “deadly virtuous.” We invite you into a weekly rhythm for the seven weeks of Lent. Each week will counter the historic deadly sin with a more “deadly virtue.” A brief devotion will explore the heart of the virtue by considering Biblical passages, followed by ways to respond— practices are recommended, reflective questions offered, and historic examples provided.
