Awakening to Goodness
Lent begins with a simple movement of the heart—a quiet turning toward God who is already turned toward us. Ignatian spirituality reminds us that grace is always at work in the ordinary, inviting us into deeper relationship.

A Lenten Journey of Attention, Encounter, and Transformation
Lent is often imagined as a season of tightening, striving, or giving things up. But beneath all of that is a quieter invitation: to make space for God. Renewal doesn’t begin with effort—it begins with awareness. With noticing. By allowing ourselves to be met by the One who is already near.
Continue reading “40 Days of Renewal: Sitting With Goodness”Fr. Richard Rohr offers a profound vision of the soul: “I think of soul as anything’s ultimate meaning, which is held within. Soul is the blueprint inside of every living thing that tells it what it is and what it can become. When we meet anything at that level, we will respect, protect, and love it.”

There is a moment in Psalm 57 that feels almost like a held breath—a pause between fear and trust, between the storm and the shelter. The psalmist cries out, “Have mercy on me, God, have mercy,” and then, almost in the same breath, rests in the shadow of God’s wings. It is a movement so small you could miss it, yet it holds the whole shape of repentance.

Each new morning is a quiet resurrection, a gentle invitation to open our eyes and say, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.” Even when the night has been long—filled with worry, sleeplessness, or sorrow—Scripture promises that joy comes with the dawn.
