30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality Online Retreat
Introduction
Dear Friends,
   Welcome and thank you for participating in our 2019 Online Lenten Retreat. Our hope is that, by participating in this year's retreat, you will grow in our own spiritual life so that you will be prepared to celebrate and live the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection more fully.
   You may use the daily reflection at any time and in any place that is convenient and conducive to your personal prayer and reflection.  You may also use the retreat in a family or faith-sharing environment.
To access the daily reflections, click on the appropriate day in the column at the right.
Although you may use the daily reflections at any time and in any way you wish, here is one way in which you might maximize the potential of this year's retreat.
• Focus.  As you begin, spend a moment or two remembering the things you are setting aside for the time being in order to engage in the day's reflection.
• Read the day's reflection.  Look for words, phrases or images which catch your attention. 
• If you wish, read the reflection a second time.  Are there additional words, phrases or ideas which strike you after reading the reflection a second time?
• Read the reflection questions. 
• Notice any additional ideas or insights which occur to you throughout the day. 
At any point during the day, share your impressions or insights with other retreat participants by adding them to the "Comment" section at the bottom of the page.

You will notice that there are only reflections provided on the weekdays of Lent.  On weekends, we will invite you to consider what you have learned during the past week and share that insight by adding a Comment to the blog.

30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality Online Retreat Day 2 - March 8 Just Words    The first degree of intimacy is the level of relationship we have with people we only talk to in clichés,   “pat phrases.” We pass someone in the hall or on the street and say, “Hi! How you doin’?”    When we say this, we aren’t really asking how the person is doing. Nor do we care. If he or she started   to tell us, we would get impatient. We aren’t paying attention to what the words mean. We are just using them to say that we notice the other person is there.    This is the level of intimacy we have with God when we say vocal prayers without really paying attention or meaning what we say. For example, we make the Sign of the Cross as if we were brushing flies off our face; or we rattle off   “Ourfatherwhoartinheavenhallowedbethyname….”   All we are really doing when we “say our prayers” like this is acknowledging that God exists. If this is our...

30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality Online Retreat Day 27 - April 12 Communion in the Holy Spirit    We have to be honest. The truth, the reality of Catholic life today, is that many people do not “experience community” in their parishes—at least, not that “communion in the Holy Spirit,” that mystical experience that we wish for each other at Mass.    What we call “Christian community” is not just a “common unity” of doctrine, morals, and cultural practices. Professing the same truths and keeping the same rules can unite people strongly to each other and violently against others, but it is not Christian community.    Communion in the Holy Spirit, is the experience, consciously recognized by all, of being alive with the life of God. It is the awareness of divine enlightenment. It is the discernment of divine empowerment present in oneself and others whose life and words and actions cannot be explained without it. It is the experience of Jesus ...

30 Days to a Vibrant Spirituality Online Retreat Day 14 - March 26 The Nuts and Bolts of Meditation    There is nothing hard about meditating. You just follow the “three R’s”— Remembering, Reflecting, Responding.    Remembering can also be reading. Writings are just recorded memories. The first step in meditating on the gospel is to call to mind, by reading or remembering, something that Jesus said or did. Confront it. Look at it. Don’t let it just go in one ear and out the other. Take it seriously.    Reflecting is the way we take it seriously. We think about what the words mean, and especially about what they mean for us. This isn’t hard.    Responding is the most important step. Everything you do when you meditate is meant to lead you to decisions.    You can always find an answer if you think small enough. If you read what Jesus says, reflect on it (with or without getting any great thoughts), and respond in so...
