Lenten Prayer Challenge -
Authentic Christian prayer is nothing less than a conversation with God—with the one who created us in love and for love. It is an ongoing interaction that gives us a chance to know God better and provides God the invitation He desires to touch our souls with His healing grace.

The challenge we all face is that our lives are so noisy that this communion with God easily breaks down or falls to the wayside.
Starting Wednesday March 5, you can sign up to receive daily messages with the Gospel reading of the day. Then the daily reflections will guide you in the following steps that will take you a few minutes or several minutes depending on how much time you allow.READ
Performing an attentive, slow, leisurely, and if desired repetitious reading of the Gospel passage.
REFLECT
Make an effort to prayerfully engage with the Gospel passage's meaning and consider how it may apply to your life circumstances.
RESPOND
Conversing with God about the passage.
REST
Allow yourself to rest and remain absorbed in the words of God; allow or invite the Holy Spirit to draw you more deeply into his presence through what you've read.
RESOLVE
Allow the encounter with God to permeate your day, causing you to draw near to him through his self-revelation and unique call to you to participate with him in the redemption of the world.
CLOSING PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
A prayer to end your time with God
