 Lent 2010--Week 1

A Path of Contemplation, Conversion, and Commitment

This is an invitation. For some this may be a spring board for meditation, for others a source of insight and for others the beginning or renewal of a mystical relationship with our God. However the Spirit leads you, may you experience peace!
