Lent begins on Feb. 18 with Ash Wednesday. It can be seen as a journey, a time of looking inward, a time of self-evaluation before Easter. The emphasis is on both repentance and renewal.
In the spirit of the latter, the monks at the Society of St. John the Evangelist have put together an educational series on time for personal or group study at Lent that begins on Feb. 18 goes through Palm Sunday.
As they say "The first thing God called holy was time but we have corrupted, damaged and polluted this gift as they say. Gift is seen not as a gift but as an enemy -we never have enough of it." Here is their description : "So much of our stress and anxiety derives from our pollution of Time. God has given us the gift of time, and called it holy, yet we often experience time as a curse."
"In a series of short, daily videos over five weeks, the Brothers of SSJE invite us to recapture time as a gift. Join the Brothers as they wrestle with questions of time and discover how to experience the joy of the present moment." "Each theme is introduced with a video of a Brother priming us for the week’s theme. The theme is then explored in depth in six short reflection videos (around 2 minutes each). A compilation video is also available each Sunday." This is all done by a daily email.
This goal is help us reorder time in our lives to make life more abundant, to become happier and thus glorify God
