LECTIO -DIVINA

http://www.lectio-divina.org/

The three Sundays before Lent are a time when one may "practice" Lent.  Try out things without an extended commitment.  I am offering links to several spiritual disciplines, any one of which might add a powerful element to one's Lenten experience.  Try one or two and see if you might find them worth deeper experience.

If "spirituality" is that which gives meaning to your life, than the following links offer a wide ranging experience in spiritual disciplines.
