Liturgical Seasons

As a child, I dreaded Lent, however, over the years I grew to appreciate the gift of this sacred season. This year I’m thinking about fasting from the OUTSIDE and fasting from the INSIDE.

In this #Nunday video, Sister Julie Myers, OSF, shares her experience of fasting during Lent and how it has transformed her own spiritual life.

Your invited on a journey, asked to empty your travel bag, and encouraged to trust that your ruffled companion is enough.

The purpose and act of fasting is our focus for this first week. We engage in fasting during Lent as a sign of sacrifice, self-discipline, and a way of reverencing the sacrifice of Jesus’s journey into the desert for 40 days.
