2 Minute Reflections for Lent

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!Today, Vince Faurote shares with us his experience of Easter in the seminary and explains that Jesus doesn't speak to us in the silence only during Lent - it's his normal way of communicating. He encourages us, as we move out of our Lenten Pause, to be sure to take our practices of stillness with us so that we can continue to hear the voice of the Risen Lord.Hear more from Vince on The Daily Refill Podcast: https://spokestreet.com/the-daily-refill/Thanks for joining us today!

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!Today, Heather Khym explains that sometimes there are parts of our hearts that feel like Holy Saturdays - filled with sadness, unclarity, and waiting. However, she reminds us to hold onto hope - hope that, just as Jesus was on mission those three days in the tomb, unseen and unheard, he's still on mission for us now.Hear more from Heather on The Abiding Together Podcast: https://spokestreet.com/abiding-together/Thanks for joining us today!

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!Today, Joel Stepanek reflects on Holy Thursday and the Last Supper. Jesus tells us that no servant is above his master, and proceeds to wash the apostles' feet, including even Judas. Do we do the same? Do we let our love be as boundless and reckless as Jesus' was? Whose feet is Jesus asking us to wash?Hear more from Joel at: https://joelstepanek.com/Thanks for joining us today!

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!Today, Johnathan Blevins reflects on the lessons he learned from his years working in Catholic Parishes. We often expect-or at least desire-perfection from teams, staffs, or any type of group we have working together. The Church is no exception. However, Johnathan reminds us that we ourselves aren't even perfect, and accomplishing perfection on our own terms and expecting that from everyone else wasn't even something Jesus attained. So, release your expectations of perfection and control, work forward, and, in the end, surrender it all to the caring providence of Jesus.Hear more from Johnathan at: https://www.beardedblevins.com/Thanks for joining us today!

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!Today, John Edwards asks us an important question: how's your Lent going so far? We're late in the game of Lent - it's almost over! If you find yourself at this point like many others no different than before Lent began and away from your Lenten observances, then it's probably time to take John's advice and slow down. The Lord commands us to slow down so we can actually fruitfully live life, not just be consumed by all the ongoings of life. If you're tired, weary, and feeling like you failed at Lent - that's okay. Slow down, and take this Holy Week to hear the Lord's voice in the quiet stillness calling you back.Hear more from John on The Just a Guy in the Pew Podcast: https://spokestreet.com/just-a-guy-in-the-pew/Thanks for joining us today!

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!Today, Dr. Peter Molinoski talks about the story from 1 Kings 19 and how the great noises that Elijah experiences are real, but also symbols for the interior noises and distractions that seek to keep us from reflection and integration.
