The Joy of Sacrifice.
Allow Lent to be the intense season of Spiritual Renewal and Earthly Desert that it is meant to be. Throughout the Season of Lent we as a Parish will have so many incredible resources for you. Every Monday there will be a Holy Hour coupled with group prayer and prayer ministry that will be the sort of practicum for the book study we will have on Thursdays. We will be reading and studying together the new book by Dr Brandt Pitre, Introduction to the Spiritual Life.
Praying with Audacity.
Our relationship with God is more important than anything we experience in relating to another human being. Take the time for prayer, not just to be passively aware that He is there, but take the time to get to know Him. Go back to the Advent books and learn to sit in silence with the Scriptures and hear Him. Spend at LEAST 10 minutes each day doing nothing other than praying. Yes, pray when you drive, garden, shower, work around the house, and go about your day, but also pray for and with intimacy.
