Lenten Practices

Summary

The sermon challenges the traditional Lenten practice of "giving up" by advocating for "taking on" spiritual disciplines that draw us closer to God, referencing Proverbs and the Examen as examples. Instead of focusing on self-improvement or deprivation, the practical takeaway is to actively engage with practices like the Examen to intentionally connect with the Holy Spirit, reflect on God's presence, and identify areas where we may have strayed from Him. This approach aims to foster a deeper, more intentional relationship with God throughout the Lenten season and beyond.
