Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind... Job 38.1
This Lenten season, as we open our hearts to God through contemplation and self-examination, we turn to one of the greatest stories in Scripture to invite us to both: Job. The story prods us, confuses us, and invites to ask honest questions about where God is when all we see around us is the whirlwind. As we prepare for Holy Week this year, let us ask together: March 30: Where Were You? Job 38.1-11 April 6: Why? Job 42.7-17
