“Lent is a time for living on the edge, poised for the next moment of life. We are invited to get out of our comfortable centers of security and live on the brink of the incomplete, the not-knowing, the open future, and to find comfort in the chaotic flow of life..”
—Ilia Delio, Lent: Poised for Action
“La Cuaresma es tiempo de vivir al límite, de estar dispuestos a asumir los nuevos momentos que nos trae la vida. Una invitación a dejar nuestros cómodos centros de seguridad para vivir al borde de lo incompleto, de lo desconocido, del futuro que se nos abre y a llegar a encontrarnos cómodos en el flujo caótico de la vida.”
—Ilia Delio, Lent: Poised for Action
Incarnational Practice: Discerning
“Discernment”, a spiritual practice of decision making, offers a way to see God’s call in the midst of all the decisions we make every day. The question is “What is it that God desires? What ‘open future’ is calling my name?”
A Prayer for Discernment from St. Francis of Assisi
Most high, glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of my heart
and give me
true faith,
certain hope,
and perfect charity,
sense and knowledge,
Lord,
that I may carry out
Your holy and true command.
