We know in our hearts that it is meant to be one of the year's most important days. But so often, Easter is little more than a Sunday to get a dressed up on and an excuse to buy a few marshmallow bunnies. This year, things can be different. Contemplating Lent features background information and step-by-step descriptions of 40 spiritual practices divided into categories such as sacred reading practices, breath prayers, visualizations, and apophatic meditations. Ideal for beginners or for those looking to infuse their spiritual practice with Easter-specific contemplative activities, this book will deepen your experience of Jesus' death and resurrection and build the foundations for a spiritual practice to carry into the rest of the year.
