Lent Through African EyesSample
The Fifth Sunday of Lent
John records this incident after Jesus was anointed at Bethany. Read through the scripture aloud a few times. Read slowly, meditating on each phrase and pondering what Jesus’ death accomplished and what it means to follow him.

About this Plan
Africans throughout history have shaped Christian thought and contemplative practice. Starting Ash Wednesday, explore the Lenten themes of prayer, fasting, repentance, and alms-giving. Sojourn with Jesus’ disciples from his baptism to Holy Week. Abide with him in temptation. Hear the crowd shout—celebrating, then condemning. Watch Simon of Cyrene carry the cross. Witness the crucifixion with Mary. Join a biblical pilgrimage to prepare your heart for Jesus’ passion and resurrection.
