In the book 40 Days of Decrease, Alicia Britt Chloe says "God seems more interested in what we are becoming than in what we are giving up."

Today, let’s take time to reflect on who we are becoming this Lenten season. While fasting and abstaining can be meaningful practices, let’s shift our focus to the deeper purpose behind the sacrifice—the transformation it invites within us.

Sharing a beautiful song from Verses on Ash Wednesday.

All are from the dust. To dust all return. A great solace and comfort when a spirit of empire and dominion arises.

Today is March 5 and it is 100% guaranteed to rain today. Seems fitting on such a day as Ash Wed where we are reflecting on such a season- of loss and gain that comes from loss. The rain is miserable and cold but it is washing away all the dirt of winter. Grateful for this community.

I am grateful for the resources NES is sharing during Lent. I was not aware of Pray as you go, and this is the type of app I have hoped to find to help me center as I start time in prayer.

Daily prayer whenever you need it. Ignatian inspiration, Jesuit Prayer on the go

Thankyou for your lovely reminders on how to practice lent this season. I've never been so close to myself, God and others. Although, I wasnt able to keep up with my aim or complete my objective, Ive done some good i think. All the best!

I am very grateful for your investment in this curricula. It is well thought out, appropriate and has prompted me to think outside the box. The use of different platforms is creative and well rounded. I plan to continue to use it well beyond Resurrection Sunday. With gratitude, Sharon Conley

Comer’s quote today on “hurry” reminded me of Jesus ministry. The gospels highlight a ministry which was wrought with interruption. “While he was on the way” seems tp be a common theme. Jesus was ok with interrupted plans…are we?
