Who is My Neighbor? Join us for this Lenten Reflection Series.

Feb 23, 2023

Dear friends,

Who’s my neighbor? This is a question we will explore these holy 40 days using Episcopal Relief & Development’s Lenten meditation series. We give you this resource for daily prayer, for use in your churches, or in whatever way fits best.

Jesus has given us a commandment to love one another. Join Episcopal Relief & Development to consider the meaning of this fundamental instruction in our daily lives. Download the meditation series here: https://www.episcopalrelief.org/lent.

Each Wednesday during Lent, I will offer a reflection as we answer this question in our diocese. Look for the reflections in your email inbox and on our social media channels.


Yours in Christ,

The Rt. Rev. Shannon Rogers Duckworth
Bishop of Louisiana
