Today is Ash Wednesday the first day of Lent.
Lent is a period of intensified spiritual practice. The purpose of Lent is to take the time to focus on strengthening our connection and awareness of the presence of God.
What can you do for the next 40 days of Lent to strengthen your spiritual practice?
(If you would like a copy of our Lenten Journal let me know.)
A traditional practice is eating less. As a child you may have given up candy etc. Another approach is giving up complaining or another negative thought process. Tomorrow I will discuss the tradition of fasting and Emmet Fox’s comment on the power of fasting from food and how this practice can be used to serve others.
I have created a blog called Journey through Lent which will contain reflections on our journey this Lenten season. the Url is www.insidelent.blogspot.com
I hope you will join us.
John
