Lent is just a week away. Saturday is our retreat Return to Our Senses in Lent, and Wednesday next week is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. For me it feels as though Lent began a month ago however with the completion of A Journey into Wholeness and our Lenten Prayer Cards. Many of my reflections have focused on our preparation for the journey towards the cross and the practices I want to engage in for my own journey. Not surprisingly, I felt I had to write these down and the result is a new resource for the season 40+ Ideas for Lent and Holy Week
Lent is about preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. It requires discipline and perseverance in order to fully enter into the season. This resource is provided to help maintain that discipline by suggesting daily activities, prayer ideas, and reflective music suggestions for your use.
Although this free resource is designed to be used in conjunction with A Journey into Wholeness and the Lenten Prayer Cards, it also works as a stand alone discipline.
Enjoy and if you have suggestions on how we can improve this for next year please let me know.
If you are new to this blog you might also like to check out the other resource lists that were posted last week
Daily Scripture Readings for Lent
New lists for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday will be added as Holy week approaches. If there are other resources you feel should be added to these lists please do not hesitate to add them in the comment sections.

Thanks for putting these resources together!
Your welcome
Thanks Christine. I just downloaded the Lent Devo. Love it! So glad that you are in Seattle!
Glad you are enjoying it Matt. Look forward to getting together some time
I have downloaded this to use with my book–so excited!–but as I click on what appear to be the links on the download, nothing opens. I would like to be able to use them; do I need to do something different for that to happen?
Jill How embarrassing. You are correct. I thought we had checked this. For some reason when we converted it to a pdf the links did not embed. Have corrected it though. We will upload a new version today but I will also email you that and I can guarantee the links all work.
