This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lent reveals what's at stake."-Archbishop Sartain For many Catholics, what's at stake might be what we "give up" for Lent. Most of us know there is more to it than that, but we struggle to give the season its proper meaning. As Archbishop J. Peter Sartain writes, "As I prayed the opening prayer at Mass for the First Sunday of Lent, I realized once again how much I have to learn." Walk through the desert alongside Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, who, in his personal and pastoral style can help us make this Lent different - the Lent during which we do more than give up our favorite comfort foods and strive to give ourselves more deeply to the Lord. Through these brief reflections, which include the Archbishop's stories from his own life, we'll discover a Lent in which we learn: How to surrender to God (even in our defeats) How to tame our distractions and transform them into desire for God How to cultivate peace in our homes and workplaces by reducing our emotional "footprint" How to learn through Lenten observances such as fasting and abstinence that God is enough This year may we grasp more fully what is at stake, truly prepare for the celebration of Christ's death and resurrection, and realize the transforming power of A Lenten Pilgrimage.

Download or read book River Through the Desert written by Richard Sewell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Christians have recognized that they can enter more fully into Jesus's own journey by making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. But in the midst of a spiritually disorienting pandemic that restricted travel, pilgrimage seemed impossible. River through the Desert asks us to think again. Written in the darkest days of the COVID pandemic, this series of meditations invites us to reimagine what it means to travel with Jesus during Lent. In weekly reflections, Richard Sewell takes readers step by step through a landscape riven with the traces of God. As he stops at the Sea of Galilee and as he prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, Sewell reveals that the apparently arid landscape of our own lives can yield surprising nourishment when we take time for prayer, Scripture, and meditation. Ideal for a self-directed retreat or for a Lenten reading group, River through the Desert will be a dependable guide as you continue your spiritual journey. Praise for River through the Desert "This Lenten resources holds the possibility of transforming our difficult experiences of the last few years by offering the possibility of seeing them as a gift, a place of refreshment and hope." -The Rt. Revd. Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London "At this juncture in our history, when travel is problematic, this Lenten pilgrimage gives us a chance to be pilgrims, traveling to the Holy Land and imagining the gifts unveiled by landscapes that become integral to our understanding of the Lenten season and our own thirst for God." -The Rev. Dr. Susan Lukens, Associate Dean Emerita, St. George's College, Jerusalem About the Author The Very Rev. Canon Richard Sewell is Dean of St. George's College in Jerusalem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
