Pre-lent

Two weeks from Great Lent means that next week is the first Saturday of the souls, where we remember and pray for those departed from this life. It is a time of reflection, prayer, and anticipation. I can't wait for my first Lent and Pascha here at the seminary.

Speaking of anticipation, the word may be spreading at my field education parish about the planned program of adult education. Perhaps, given this, the delay in distributing the questionnaire could be helpful.

In other news, I'm going to need to learn a fair amount of modern Greek between now and August. That will be interesting.
