Good Enough, 3-8                     Psalm 119:103-106

Like many things done with regularity, spiritual practices risk becoming rote or worse—bur- densome. But, on the other hand, you might be someone who takes great delight in routine. Where do you fall on the spectrum?

Don’t make me do the same thing ---------I thrive off regularity/routine.

Spiritual practices are not a guarantee of spiritual growth, but somehow and sometimes, God shows up. That mystery is what we open ourselves toward and embrace as we practice the disciplines laid out in scripture and found in centuries of Church tradition. What new spiritual practice (perhaps the practice of Lent!) is rising in you that longs for a beginning? Here are a list of some spiritual disciplines to consider:

PRAYER     FASTING      SOLITUDE      JOY         ATTENDING CHURCH REGULARLY          MEDITATION          BIBLE STUDY        SERVICE        GIVING          CONFESSION

Nothing harsh or burdensome, that’s what St. Benedict sought for his spiritual rules. What shape can your new spiritual practice take, so that it becomes a gentle and loving part of each day?
