The Season of Lent always invites us to encounter God on a deeper, more personal level. Today, Fr. Ron Will is going to lead you in a guided meditation.
Today we will be doing more than wading in a shallow pool. We will step into the deep waters of relationship. We will move beyond reciting prayers out of a book, and move into a conversation with Jesus.
First, take a minute to focus your attention. Let go of other distracting thoughts.
Take a couple deep breaths. Breathe in God’s presence and exhale any anxiety, any tension in your body.
Let’s begin.
New videos will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We’ll send you an email on Thursdays to remind you to watch. You can find all the videos here (after they are posted): Lent Video Series. You can share your thoughts about the video on our Facebook page.

When we live under the influence of the Holy Spirit, we participate in a new creation. We say we are “Living in the Season of the Holy Spirit.” Over the next seven weeks, I will be exploring seven key words or concepts. Today the first word is: forgiveness.
Scripture, science and experience tell us that we all should cultivate silence in our lives. If we know this, why do we resist it? If you want “to learn to better wait in silence,” a silent, directed retreat might be what you’re looking for.
