Wilderness Within : A Guided Lent Journal For Prayer And Meditation
$13.95
This Lent, allow Sr. Josephine Garrett to be your guide as you explore the interior wilderness of your heart and invite Jesus in to heal you with his love.
Have you ever wondered why Jesus went into the wilderness? Some believe it was to reveal his divinity or to restore humanity’s relationship with God. In Wilderness Within, Sr. Josephine Garrett, a mental health counselor and popular speaker, reflects on the belief that Jesus went into the wilderness to rescue us–to rescue us! The Lord does not want us to view the wilderness as something that causes worry, anxiety, or fear. “What if, instead,” Sr. Josephine writes, “we looked at how God has been a faithful provider in the wilderness and trusted that He will do the same for us in the wilderness journey ahead? What if we joyfully take His hand and journey into the wilderness, because when Christ enters there, ‘this opposite place of the garden becomes the place of reconciliation and healing'” (Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth)?
In Wilderness Within, Sr. Josephine will guide you through the forty days of Lent to attend to the wilderness of your heart as a place to be explored, restored, and sent on mission by Jesus’s tender love.
*Week of Ash Wednesday: Enter Lent by recognizing your ability to always begin anew in Christ.
*Week One: Open your heart to God’s love, allowing yourself to reverence your heart as a gift from your Creator.
*Week Two: Reflect on the truth that we are created for relationships, and examine the relationships in your life.
*Week Three: Take an honest look at your limitations, wounds, and sin guided by a spirit of humility and repentance.
*Week Four: Begin to see how God designed your heart to be rescued by him and grow in your capacity to be healed by him.
*Week Five: Leave the wilderness of your heart so that you can go on mission–with a heart restored by Christ’s love–to love your neighbor and be a good steward of the gifts and charisms given to you.
*Holy Week: Follow in Jesus’s footsteps to the Cross and discover how you can love him well through each stage of the Passion and Resurrection.
Each day’s content includes brief meditations, specially crafted illustrations, thought-provoking reflection questions, heartfelt prayers curated to uplift your spirit, and ample journaling space for personal revelations and insights. Whether you’re journeying alone or with a group, Wilderness Within is your guide to a beautiful and renewing Lent.
