More Ways You Can Reflect and Redirect During Lent
During this season of prayer, self-examination, and increased intentionality, many Christians commit to a Lenten spiritual practice. Some choose to embrace this season of simplicity by giving up a particular food or drink, such as meat, dessert, or alcohol. Others take on a spiritual practice of daily prayer, whether by praying the Daily Office, taking contemplative walks, or spending some time in quiet with God each day. Still others commit to reading Scripture or journaling.
There are countless ways to intentionally journey through Lent; here are some examples from our rector, The Reverend Dorota Wright-Pruski, to help you accept God’s invitation to reflect and redirect during this season
