Well I am back..not sure how long it will last but I have decided to write during the Lenten season.
I was raised in the catholic faith and over the past years I have reconnected with many of the disciplines that I was raised to observe but had not for years and years. One thing I have come to know is that there is benefit, real and impact-full benefit to spiritual disciplines. Many denominations have run from them, the proverbial throwing the baby out with the bath water and sadly I join in on that run. But reconnecting with ancient spiritual disciplines has enriched my life. During the Lenten season I am going to share a daily reading from "Renewed for Life, Daily Lenten meditations" from the writings of Henri Nouwen.
I find the season of Lent very powerful. To purposely enter are season of soul-searching and repentance is life changing. A time of reflection and taking stock is good for the soul. By observing the forty days of Lent, we imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days. This action requires sacrifice and dependance, how can one not benefit.
So for the lenten season I will blog.
