Health of Body, Mind, Spirit – Your Easter Journey
Just as Lent is not a period of self-denial, but an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth, Easter is a time for renewal and reflection offering each of us a special opportunity to care for the body, mind and spirit. Some thoughts on preparation:
- Lenten Season: Participate in the Lenten season including fasting, prayer, giving of your time, talent, and treasure to prepare spiritually and physically for Easter.
- Spiritual Practices: Engage in intentional time spent with God, such as prayer, meditation, and reflection to deepen your relationship with Him.
- Reflection and Repentance: take time to reflect on your life and seek forgiveness, focusing on humility and gratitude.
- Fasting: Consider fasting as a way to clear your mind and heart, allowing for a deeper connection with God.
- Community: Share your spiritual journey with others, fostering a sense of community and support during this time.
- Seek Spiritual Renewal: Through prayer, focusing on physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Spend some time outdoors to boost mood and decrease stress levels.
These practices can help you spiritually prepare for the joyous celebration of Easter.
