Lent Retreat 3

1 : Three weeks into Lent and we can be filled with a sense of achievement thinking we're doing well. We've continued to give up what we promised to, or we have continued to do the things we said we would. Reflect for a moment on how your Lenten journey has progressed.

2 : If you think your Lenten observance is going very well, then think again – you may have stopped journeying ! Consider why you chose to undertake the Lenten journey in the first place ? Has your observance become a substitute for the journey rather than than the journey itself ?

Spend some time reflecting on your journey and your openness to the God’s presence this Lent

Consider letting go of everything you have undertaken this Lent – can you let go of your observance, or does the thought of ‘giving in’ bring on feelings of guilt ? If so why ? Perhaps it’s time to think of a different Lenten observance maybe – maybe not ?
