On this first Sunday of Lent, our Unity Lenten guide says, “We are always in the stark and beautiful movement of letting go of one thing, thought, or situation while being set free to a more excellent, deeper, and more expansive experience of ourselves.” This gives the Lenten season a more generous purpose than our old conditioning of it being a time of deprivation. While letting go is a personal act, we are strengthened by supporting each other as we do so.
