40 Days-40 Ways to Faith

A Virtual Retreat for Lent

Before you begin, take a few moments to rid yourself

of all other distractions so that you may use this time

for meditation and prayer.

Day Three

Becoming Well Balanced

Imagine trying to sit on a stool that only has two legs or set up a camera on a tripod with only one leg.

It’s hard to do because the stool and the tripod need at least three legs to achieve balance.

We, too, need to have balance in our lives.and the Church gives us the opportunity to regain our balance during Lent through the three legs of Lent.

Prayer – How should we pray?

"And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert, for the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, He was hungry." (Luke 4:1-2)

"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like."~ St. Augustine of Hippo

May God bless you on your journey today!
