Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!

Today, Vince Faurote shares with us his experience of Easter in the seminary and explains that Jesus doesn't speak to us in the silence only during Lent - it's his normal way of communicating. He encourages us, as we move out of our Lenten Pause, to be sure to take our practices of stillness with us so that we can continue to hear the voice of the Risen Lord.

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!

Today, Paul Kolker reflects on his experience in improv comedy and Our Lady. Improv requires you to accept the incoming situation and build on it - to say "yes and". Our Lady, in her own way, is the perfect model of this. When she received the news she was to be the mother of God, she replied "Yes" and then built upon that answer. Whether you're in improv or meditating upon Our Lady, take this Lent to hear the Lord inviting you to say "yes" to life and then build upon it.

Today, Nick Bezner talks about fasting. He explains there's the tried and true ways of thinking of fasting, but invites us to go deeper by giving up three physical gratifications we tend to take for granted each day of Lent. Whether it's our snooze button, that second cup of coffee, or all the Instagram reels we can binge, Nick helps us see these as gifts and ones that can be offered back to the Jesus as a small participation in his own sacrifice.

Today, Johnathan Blevins reflects on the lessons he learned from his years working in Catholic Parishes. We often expect-or at least desire-perfection from teams, staffs, or any type of group we have working together. The Church is no exception. However, Johnathan reminds us that we ourselves aren't even perfect, and accomplishing perfection on our own terms and expecting that from everyone else wasn't even something Jesus attained. So, release your expectations of perfection and control, work forward, and, in the end, surrender it all to the caring providence of Jesus.

Today, John Edwards asks us an important question: how's your Lent going so far? We're late in the game of Lent - it's almost over! If you find yourself at this point like many others no different than before Lent began and away from your Lenten observances, then it's probably time to take John's advice and slow down. The Lord commands us to slow down so we can actually fruitfully live life, not just be consumed by all the ongoings of life. If you're tired, weary, and feeling like you failed at Lent - that's okay. Slow down, and take this Holy Week to hear the Lord's voice in the quiet stillness calling you back.
