Are you searching for something more?Lent is a great time to return to God and refocus our lives so it is more in line with His desire for us. It's a 40-day journey of letting God change your heart and your life-style. If you are looking for the Lenten journey into the wilderness of your own heart to find God, this year we suggest the online retreat Ignatian Workout for Lent. Each Monday Tim Muldoon shares 2-3 minute audio reflections accompanied by suggestions for prayer and action. Based on the book of the same name, the online retreat begins the week of Ash Wednesday and continues through the Easter Week.
