Lent

Listen:

Hear that still small voice of God and Find Your Own**

Have you ever misplaced your phone — which is on vibrate of course — and then asked someone to call it? We get really still and really quiet. Our ears perk up in all directions in order to be ready to hear that little buzz. It is a quieting down and high alert all at the same time. This Lent we will quiet things down and heighten our attention to the “still, small voice” of God and our own True Self. Listening through prayer as well as meditation on holy texts is an ancient Lenten practice. Come and rest, come and listen.

“Look, I’ll pour out my spirit on you. I’ll reveal my words to you.” —Wisdom (from Proverbs)
