Day Thirty-one: Follow your breath as it leads to God. Simply observe your breath. Inhale and exhale slowly, recognizing that breathing is a life sustaining and God-infused action.
Day Thirty-two: Fast. The purpose of fasting is to support our prayers and heighten our awareness of a most basic human need. Paying attention to our hunger can help us connect to our thirst for God and the emptiness we feel. Fast one day or one meal to join our physical needs to spiritual ones.
Day Thirty-three: Spring cleaning can be more than a way to get rid of "stuff". Along with asking yourself "what don't I want" also practice asking "what don't I need?" Invite God into these question and explore together a journey of letting go of the excess in your life.
Day Thirty-four: Light a candle. Pray as it is lit "God thank you for the gift of your Light in the midst of all darkness. Let his candle be a symbol of our faith in your presence among us."
Day Thirty-five: We follow Jesus and journey with others whose heritage has left a path before us. Reflect on your faith journey and remember the names of those in whose footsteps you are following and who is on the road with you now. Find a way to share with them your gratitude for journeying with you.
