When Hunger Becomes a Prayer for Justice

Rev. Janna Osborne | February 18, 2026

Rev. Janna Osborne reframes the traditional Lenten practices of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer as radical acts of justice. Rather than simply giving up chocolate or scrolling, what if our hunger awakened us to the deeper hungers around us—for righteousness, dignity, and belonging? This Ash Wednesday sermon challenges us to fast in ways that make us hungry for justice, give in ways that redistribute wealth, and pray with the courage to change what's wrong. It's a call to move beyond personal piety into communal transformation.
