Welcome to Rejoicing in Mortality, the first episode of our Lent 2025 podcast series ‘The Joys of Spring.’

Lent invites us to slow down and reflect on life's deeper meaning. And to begin this journey, Bishop Martin, Bishop of Kingston, invites you to think about what it means to rejoice in our mortality.

With warmth and honesty, he discusses the emotions that come with knowing life is finite.

Through personal stories, poetry, and wisdom from Christian liturgy, he shows how faith can help us find sorrow, gratitude, and even joy in the face of death.

This week is a time to pause and think about the deeper meaning of life and listen to a message of hope this Lenten season.
