Lenten Devotionals

Contemplative Practices for Lent

Devotional Booklet

​Contemplative prayer is an ancient and simple discipline. It's a way to slow down, create space and notice the presence of God. Each week, you will be offered three practices: Thomas Merton's Prayer, questions to consider and contemplative practices, which are methods used to deepen faith.

Five people from First Lutheran Church have written reflections on the Gospel reading read in worship the week before. Find insights and spiritual strength from the words of regular, everyday people who speak about their faith from their hearts.

First Lutheran Downtown
