Practicing Lent - Third Week
During this year’s season of Lent, Church of the Redeemer is using a devotional from Salt Project called, “Practicing Lent.” Below you will see their suggested practices for this week, designed to deepen your journey through these 40 days of lengthening light. Practice them alone, or with a partner, friends, or family, sharing experiences and insights as you travel. If you would like to have a printed copy of these practices, you will find them in the library with our other Lenten resources.
Third Week in Lent
READ
Psalm 95
MEDITATE
In God's hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are God’s also.
PRACTICE
“Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius
This week, try clearing space in your life for being in solitude with God. Like clearings in a forest, where suddenly the stars and moon above come into view, such solitude can rejuvenate and strengthen us for full-hearted life.
Be ambitious: remove every obstacle in your path. Turn off the TV, unplug the radio, shut down the computer, put away your phone (especially at mealtime!), light candles, revisit your favorite music, read aloud your favorite poem, or take a walk in the woods under the night sky.
Whatever clearings you choose, let your goal be to deepen your awareness of God’s companionship and serene presence all around.
