Born From Above

In this Lenten reflection, The Rev. Michael Singer explores Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus and the meaning of being “born from above.” While we often define ourselves by where we were born, our ancestry, or our earthly identities, Father Michael reminds us that our truest identity is shaped by the Spirit of God.

To be born again is not about dramatic religious experience. It is about allowing the wind of God to reshape us again and again. This rebirth renews not only our relationship with God but also our relationships with those we love. Lent becomes an invitation to let go of what confines us and to be carried by the Spirit into deeper freedom, love, and grace.
