On Saturday, March 4, 2023, the Hermitage invites you to participate in a Lenten retreat of Lament. We will work in small groups to write communal laments, and we will write individual, personal laments as well. Time will be given to bear witness to both small group and individual lament as participants are willing.
Lamentation, or Lament, is a God-given and biblical way to respond to and process grief and loss. When we lament, we give voice to the sacred stories of our lives and our world as they are disrupted, and as we strive to find meaning and resolve.
Psalm 102: 1-2
“A Prayer of the Afflicted when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord.
Hear my prayer, O Lord!
And let my cry for help come to You.
Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress;
Incline Your ear to me;
In the day when I call answer me quickly.”
