Theme: All The World's A Stage-William Shakespeare
In this monologue from "As You Like It", life is compared to a stage and suggests that we are merely players who have scenes with entrances and exits. These first weeks of Lent 2026, we desire to be honest with ourselves before God about the "roles we play" and script changes required. The Day of Prayer embraces the metaphor for our human and spiritual experiences: comedy, tragedy, soap opera, etc. in our common call to holiness.
