Fully Integrated
Today's Reflection
Our faith is not something that we can simply take on and take off. The challenge is for our faith to be fully integrated into our lives. Our Lenten journey opens a path of faithfulness that invites our whole self to be present to and with God.
—Stephanie B. Dunn, Draw Close: A Creative Companion for Lent (Upper Room Books, 2024)
