Lent, a holy time of introspection and penance in preparation for the passion, death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ, can be further enriched with Sacred Space for Lent 2017 , a daily prayer experience from Sacred Space, the internationally known online prayer guide. Sacred Space for Lent invites readers to develop a closer relationship with God during this season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. What we know and trust about the Sacred Space online prayer experience is now available in a compact print format to heighten our Lent prayer practice in a way that is accessible, engaging, and meaningful to daily life. Throughout the Lenten season, each day includes a Scripture reading and points of reflection, as well as a weekly topic enhanced by six steps of prayer and meditation. With its small size and meaningful message, Sacred Space for Lent is a simple way to build a richer relationship with God and embrace the Lenten season as a sacred space.
Typical of the Sacred Space daily prayer and website and its Jesuit writers this proved to be a very helpful little book over the Lenten season. I'll plane to use it again in 2018.
I was moved to reconsider the events of my lifetime and how I have been influenced to live guided by Christ. There have been times when I know I was protected by His love. I have tried to live a life of service to others. I am far from perfect, but know there is forgiveness when I fail to live up to His examples of what God wants.
