Lenten practice

As ash Wednesday approaches, some think about something to give up or something to add that will be a reminder that this is a kind of "retreat" season. I would like tyo suggest that you consider one of the practices included in the prayer for peace said several times during the week at Hesed.

Here are some suggestions: (choose one)

1. Show me the way to stand for peace
2. How can I nurture life?
3. How do I live non-violently?
4. Help me to embrace simplicity
5. Help me to be mindful of the value of all things
6. Help me to care tenderly for others
7. Help me to conserve and preserve the natural gifts of this world
8. How can I take time?
9. How can I be more present in the moment?
10. How can I be more tolerant?
11. Come to a quiet still place of healing
12. How can I be a reflection of Your love and compassion?
