Practices for Paying Attention
Stillness is not doing nothing.
Stillness quiets our minds and settles our bodies so we can stop, notice, and make space for God. Lent has always been about reorientation: turning again toward God. Practices like fasting, prayer, and almsgiving are not ends in themselves; they train our attention and shape our desire. Lent is a season to practice attention to God’s presence together.
