Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 9:00 AM
For busy moms, Lent can be a special time of the liturgical year to focus on our spiritual lives. But life rarely stands still long enough to allow us long, lingering hours of prayer or the opportunity for a retreat getaway.
Fortunately this year, there are several great resources online to help you focus on prayer and thanksgiving this Lenten season. Here are a few of my favorites:
Prayer Chapel - Susan Bailey invites readers to “Come spend some quiet time reflecting on the icons, pictures, scripture readings, prayers and spiritual writings which have so influended by spiritual life and my songwriting. I will share with you things I learn as I journey with our Lord. Join in my special 40 day Lenten series, “Theosis,” a 5-minute per day podcast which will transform your Lenten experience.”
Loyola Press Women’s Online Lenten Retreat - Based upon the book Days of Deepening Friendship: For the Woman Who Wants Authentic Life With God
Today’s Catholic Woman Online Study - Catholic Exchange brings you this study which consists of 10 podcasts, an online discussion, and the book Renewing Your Christian Self~wisdom from women in the Old and New Testaments~ A Woman’s Bible Study
Divine Mercy Podcast Lenten Special - These audio files enable you to recite the “rosary with meditations from the Dolorous Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ by St. Anne Catherine Emmerich. These Vatican approved meditations take you to the very events of the Passion of Jesus. Download each decade of the Sorrowful Mysteries by themselves and pray one decade each day during Lent. The complete uninterrupted rosary will be uploaded before Holy Week. Consider praying the entire Dolorous Passion Rosary each day of Holy Week.”
I am on the lookout for additional Lenten resources, so if you have a favorite please share it here in the comments!
