Finding God in All Things

In the past two years, amid the upheaval of wars and social unrest, the world appears unfamiliar and hostile compared to our previous experiences. People are growing more anxious and restless.

We may wonder:

  • Why is God so elusive?
  • Has He turned His gaze away from us?
  • Is He indifferent to the widespread suffering in the world?
  • Is God’s omnipresence a mere fiction or a thing of the past?

This year’s FLL Farmer of Hearts online Lenten retreat, themed “Finding God in All Things,” aims to awaken the awareness of God’s omnipresence and provide a fresh perspective. Beyond offering contemplation for Lent, the retreat seeks to inspire “metanoia” or transformative changes in our lives.

We encourage you to approach this retreat with an intention to embrace change, retaining the inspiration the Spirit imparts to alter your thoughts, perceptions, responses, and actions.

The desired outcome is increased inner freedom, fostering a more peaceful, resilient, and hopeful life—an essential state in our unpredictable and turbulent world.

 

“Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made.”
(Romans 1:20)

Join us in dedicating 10 minutes each day for the 40 days of Lent to perceive God’s presence in new ways.

As we often express the desire to use Lent for better preparation leading to Easter, what could be more meaningful than offering Jesus the gift of our heightened awareness of His presence in our lives?
