Lent 4 draws attention to insight, revelation, and the ability to “see” in new ways. Moral dissonance is the tension that arises when our actions, words, or choices do not fully align with what we believe or value. It can appear in small ways, like rationalizing, staying silent, or compartmentalizing uncomfortable realities. In a diverse community, these tensions may be layered by differences in history, culture, belief, and circumstance, making them complex and sometimes invisible. Noticing these quiet strains helps us become more aware of how values and reality interact in our daily lives. This week offers space to pay attention to these subtle, persistent moral tensions as a path toward greater clarity and awareness.
