As an aside, Medjugorje is questionable at best (http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/medjugorje.htm) and at least not approved by the Church. Not approved doesn't mean condemned by any means, but . . . anyway. Whenever I see faithful Catholics reference Medjugorje "apparitions" it makes me nervous. I really like the idea behind this.

Thank you for sharing your blog with us! I always am edified by what you write, Paolo. I’ve never done this in a group with Scripture…I can imagine it being very powerful and would love to try it.

So, no dairy, grains, etc! That was verrrry difficult, and very penitant! An idea I tried during the 40 Days for Life last fall was one day a week only eating fruits, vegetables, and meat.

I just read the Lent section on the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops website. They noted that the Holy Father recommended Lection Divina as a Lenten practice: “Lectio Divina, or “Divine Reading” is an ancient practice developed by the early monks to make reading the Bible an attractive experience. A common method would suggest that an individual, or even better a small group of people, listen to a passage read aloud … or read it themselves. The participants first point out any word that struck them. Then they hear the same passage once more, and expand from a word to an idea reflected in the passage. After a third reading the members of the group take time to describe briefly about how the passage speaks to them and how it might throw light upon the work or worries of their lives.” As part of my Lenten sacrifice this year, I want to continue to engage in daily meditations on the Scriptures, aided in part by my blogging at Seeking Jesus!
