Pretzels a Lenten treat

Pretzels: A Lenten treat

Pretzels originated in Europe during the Middle Ages. A monk was making unleavened bread for Lent with flour and water because eggs, milk and lard were not consumed as part of the Lenten fast. He twisted some of the dough into the shape of people praying with both arms folded across their chests.(can you see it?)  He decided it would be a perfect treat for children learning to say their prayers. He called the treats pretiola, the Latin word for "little reward."

Reflecting on your day

There is a historic prayer known as the ‘Prayer of Examen’. The idea is to intentionally reflect on your day, on what you’ve done and thought about.

There are always good things we could have done which we didn’t, and things we did do which we shouldn’t! This is a great time to ask for forgiveness and to ask Spirit to help us act more in love each day.

Have a look back over the last 24 hours; give thanks for the blessings and good things.

Use this time to set your sights on living more like Jesus each day.

Step One:

Prepare yourself by quietly focusing your attention on God.

Step Two:

Review your day with thankfulness When did you live out of Christ’s  love?

When did you not live out of Christ’s love?

Step Three:

Thank God for what is happening through this exercise, and ask Spirit to guide you and give you

grace for tomorrow.
