Most of the things we need to be most fully alive never come in busyness. They grow in rest.

Hear from a Student

As I think about Lent this year, I am reminded of the seasons of fly fishing. There are the lovely spring hatches, the warm summer big-bug times, and the fall and early winter brings on a different style of subsurface fishing called nymphing. But what fly fishers do when we can’t get to the river? We prepare our fly box.

Prayer

Ask and Reflect

Pray slowly over two verses in today's reading. What words or images move you? Consider: Who is God for me? How does God see me?

Active Reflection

Meditation

Take a few deep breaths. What are some things you can do (or not do) today to slow down?

Active Reflection

Take Action

Consider how Christ is the ground to a monk’s life, take a walk and see how you can understand how that changes that experience. Consider visiting a local monastery and if in upstate NY visit a service at The Abbey of the Genesee.
