Collective Practice: The First Light of Day
Before anything else—before checking your phone, before moving into the tasks of the day—pause.
Wherever you are, let this be your first moment of intention.
Close your eyes.
Take a slow breath.
Whisper, "Here I am."
And as you wake into this day, trust that something is already responding.
Sunday: Steps Forward
First Sunday of Lent – Invocabit (He shall call upon me)
Lent is not only about surrender. It is about calling and response. About stepping into the unknown and listening for what meets us there.
The first Sunday of Lent has carried this name for generations—Invocabit—"He shall call upon me."
It is not a command. Not a demand. It is an invitation.
To speak into the quiet.
To listen for what echoes back.
To remember that calling upon God is not a test of faith, but an act of being human—of reaching, aching, and trusting that even in silence, we are not alone.
Today, let this be enough:
To call.
To listen.
To trust that even the smallest voice is heard.
Sacred Invitation: Naming What You Carry
Sit in a quiet space. Close your eyes.
Imagine the week behind you resting in your hands. The moments of clarity. The moments of doubt. The pauses, the prayers, the unnoticed whispers.
Ask yourself:
"What am I carrying forward?"
No need to force an answer. Let the question sit with you, open and waiting.
Embodied Practice: Walking With Intention
Before the day is over, take a slow, intentional walk.
It does not need to be far. It does not need to be long.
As you step, let each footfall be a quiet acknowledgment:
"I have walked this far. I will keep walking."
Closing Reflection: A Question for the Journey
As the first week of Lent comes to a close, let this question linger with you:
"What does it mean to trust the path, even when I cannot see the way ahead?"
There is no rush to answer. Only an invitation to hold the question in the days to come.
