Feeling What You Feel As Lenten Practice by Dale Ryan. It’s Lent. Same time as last year. Here’s a brief reflection on the dangers of expecting yourself to feel a certain way during Lent. The expectation is usually that you will feel ‘bad’. This can lead to a kind of emotional whiplash when Easter suddenly arrives and you feel an obligation to feel ‘good’. Letting go of expectations of this kind might be a good thing to give up for Lent.
NOTICE
The emailed version of the NACR Daily Meditation is not working right now! There’s nothing wrong on your computer. We upgraded some software (for the nerds amongst us: php 7.4.33 –> php 8.1.16.) and it broke the program which sends out the emails. I’m sure it’s fixable but it might take some time. You can always get the meditation for the current day by going to: Daily Meditation

Why the NACR?
Because we need each other, that’s why!
NACR’s primary purpose is to help the Christian community become a safer and more helpful place for people struggling with the most difficult of life’s problems. We know how painful it is to feel like we are the only one who is struggling. We know how exhausting it is to pretend that things are OK. We aren’t going to do that anymore. Join us as we sink our roots more deeply every day into the soil of God’s love.
