To help us journey through Lent in 2024, we asked the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph about a favorite book they read during these 40 days, or perhaps a favorite meatless meal recipe. We call this feature “How We Observe Lent.” Each week of Lent features a different Sister’s spiritual practice. Our contribution today is from Sister Jane Falke, who ministers in Kansas.
“Many years during Lent, I like to get a Lenten reflection booklet. I have a four-step process I go through each day.
“First, I read the reflection.
“Then, I think about it for a while.
“Next, I write something from my reflection.
“Finally, I decide on a small action I can take, and I write that down too.
“This year I am using Lent 24: The Season for Healing Hearts from Twenty-Third Publications.
“As a bonus I am adding a salmon patties recipe that goes back to my childhood days. My mother taught me how to make it.”
