Lent calls us to conversion inviting us to turn towards the God
who so loves us and to become more the person God calls us to be.
Created in the divine image to be the best we can be, we then share
of that goodness with all in our world.
Listen to pod casts based on Joyce Rupp’s Open the Door that will
help you discover your authentic self and the sacred presence
within you. Sr. Joan Mahoney, CND, gently guides you through each
meditation and will post two or three meditations each week of
Lent. Click on the web link below and either listen on your
computer or download to your mp3 player or ipod.

Busted Halo and its Guide to
Prayer
Busted Halo is an online magazine for spiritual seekers, especially
young adults, sponsored by the Paulist Fathers. Categories of
articles include sex and relationships, entertainment and
lifestyle, politics and culture, religion and spirituality,
“googling” God. Well worth checking out!
http://www.bustedhalo.com
Experiment with some of the prayers links on this site. You could
listen to sacred or secular music and notice how you feel. You
could jog, hike, read scripture, say a rosary, go to Mass, or even
just daydream. What brings you peace, joy, and hope? What makes you
feel love and forgiveness? If you can find these, you have found
God. Welcome to prayer.
