Outstanding support for entering into Lent deeply, with a growing relationship with Our Lord. In addition to the Daily Reflections, we have several online resources for making a prayerful Lenten Journey. Weekly Guide for Daily Prayer: Each week of Lent, this Guide offers an overview of the Scripture for the week and suggests very concrete ways of finding intimacy with God in the midst of our daily, busy lives. For those of us who have very little time to pray or reflect during Lent, this is the place to be refreshed and pick up a simple practice of becoming a "contemplative in the midst of action." Daily Lenten Prayer: Each day of Lent there is a page that helps us truly enter into the Lenten spirit of that day. There is a brief opening prayer, a meditation, a link to the readings of the day, some intercessions and a closing prayer. This prayer is perfect for a consistent Lenten prayer alone, with our families or prayer group. A simple way to pray in harmony with the liturgy for each day and with others around the world. Reflection Provoking Resources: How to prepare for Lent, how to engage my family, how to go deeper into what each week offers, even how to prayerfully cook during Lent.
Visit the Praying Lent site and check out the Site index today and plan to begin preparing. |

Larry Gillick, S.J. has agreed to guide our reflection on his Lenten
Audio Retreat this Lent. Group members will listen to the retreat
talks on their own and gather each week with Fr. Gillick for reflection.
The group gatherings will be each Tuesday, from Feb. 28th to Apr.
18th, from 11:30am to 12:30pm in Lower St. John's Church. Group members
will bring their own bag lunches.
There
you will find a simple summary of each talk and a calendar for listening
to the talks during each of the weeks of Lent.
