How much spiritual ground can we cover in these forty days? By renewing our enthusiasm and commitment to prayer, self-control and generosity to others – these are the exercises (ascesis) of this Christian version of Ramadan and the Rains Retreat – we refresh our practice, study and inner balance. The rest we leave to the Spirit as we embrace the joyful mystery of the journey itself
