Prayer is one of the three pillars of Lent. Take this opportunity to reflect on traditional ways Catholics pray and explore other ancient and contemporary ways of encountering God. Enrich your prayer life during these sacred weeks while practicing new praying methods into the Easter season and beyond. 
 
Janet Claussen is a long-time parishioner at IHM, serving as the youth minister and director of Religious Education. She is also the former chair of the Theology Department at Marist School, an author of religious resources, and a spiritual director. 
 
This evening reflection is part of a series that runs throughout Lent. Plan to join us in the church each Tuesday at 7:00 pm for evenings of prayers, songs, adoration, and spiritual renewal. For more details, see the parish website or the Lenten brochure in the church's narthex.
