Praying with the Psalms during Lent
The Down and Dromore Diocesan Committee of the Church’s Ministry of Healing: The Mount is excited to announce a new devotional resource for Lent 2019 – Praying with the Psalms during Lent.
As the title suggests, the booklet is a daily devotional which offers readers a chance to reflect on a different Psalm each day during the Season of Lent. Each member of the committee spent time using a version of the lectio divina process to respond to the Psalms, in the hope that their thoughts and reflections would prompt and encourage others.
Speaking about the resource, the Committee’s Chairperson, Canon Gill Withers, said: ‘Each day’s devotion is quite different because the whole membership of our committee is represented. Some members responded by writing prayers or short meditations, while other members simply noted a verse or verses that stood out to them. Each day, we are encouraging people to let themselves pause for a few moments with the Psalms as they take time to read, reflect, respond and rest.’
A limited number of additional hard copies are available by telephoning CMH: The Mount at 028 9079 5832, and PDF copies are available to download from the CMH website.
