Sundays aren't a part of Lent

They aren't - Sundays in Lent are supposed to be Mini-Easters and so don't count toward the forty day erstwhile celebration. Ive struggled with what to do on the blog for the lenten sundays - do I continue with the Psalms as I've done through the week, or do I revert to the Ordinary practice of using the lectionary's Gospel text.

Hey, I've got it!

Lets do both (quickly). Todays Psalm is the 42nd, and today's Gospel text is Mark 5:1-20.

The gospel story is about Jesus driving out a legion of demons.

The Psalm I'll quote a little (its a rainy day and it feels more like Lent than a Mini-Easter).

As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.When shall I come and behold the face of God? My tears have been my food day and night,while people say to me continually, ‘Where is your God?’
These things I remember, as I pour out my soul:how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God,with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.
