What are we seeking in our Lenten practices? Where, or better, who is the focus on? How do we stay focused on God amidst our imperfections and falls?
Lent is a sacred season of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. The Lenten retreat follows Pere Jacques who was a Discalced Carmelite friar of deep prayer, saying: "Oh! Yes, my God, unite myself so deeply with you in silence and meditation that I always radiate you around me."
