Our Parish Lenten Book study this year is the book "Prayer: Our Deepest Longing" by Fr. Ron Rolheiser. Prayer is one of the three Lenten Practices Catholics have traditionally embraced in addition to fasting and almsgiving.
"Spirituality is as real as science. But that is not easy to understand or believe. We live in a world where what is real has been reduced to what is physical, to what can be empirically measured, seen, touched, tasted, and smelled. We live in a world that is for the most part spiritually tone-deaf. Where all the goods are in the store window, digitized, or reduced to a flat screen. And so, prayer is a struggle. When the surface is all there is, it is hard to be enchanted by anything, to see depth, to be deeply touched by poetry, faith, and love. But these are what we long for: depth, poetry, faith, love." - Preface, Fr. Ron Rolheiser
