I want to be spiritually ready to dive into the season. Thanks, Jean!

I can’t believe Lent is so close either. Next week! There is something very meaningful about it all starting on Ash Wednesday too, love for love.
I do like to ‘give up’ something during the season, but also think about how to add good actions too. Being aware of God’s light and love and presence each day is something I would like to highlight too.
Thanks for the links!

What a great exercise, I think I will try journaling everyday during Lent and know some of that will be prayers. I do like your idea of taking the

I really like Ruth Haley Browns/ material. She has a podcast I enjoy too – called the Strengthening the soul of your leadership or something like that. She works out of Chicago and I would love to go to one of her workshops someday. Sounds like God is inviting you to silence and solitude during Lent!!

I used them to write my own Lenten prayer. Think I’ll do the same with the prayers you’ve linked us to here. It’s a helpful exercise for confession, reflection and surrender. Thank you, Jean, for your inspiring suggestions!

I’ve just begun reading a book “Invitation to Solitude and Silence” by Ruth Haley Barton in order to participate in a book discussion. It seems that God led me directly to this, placed it into my hands just in time for Lent. I haven’t practiced faithfully a daily time for silence AND solitude, so this will definitely become something I do this Lenten season and hope to carry on through the years to come. I will also be reading your 40 Voices again, too!
Blessings always!
