Holy Laughter: A Lenten Prayer
A Virtual International Prayer Gathering
Saturday, March 20, 2021
10:00AM Pacific Time (please adjust for your time zone)
Lent is a most somber season calling for prayer, fasting, and almsgiving,
practices that are challenging and serious. As this season continues to lead us
into the depths of the Paschal Mystery during Holy Week, is it possible that
there is a sacred place for holy laughter in our prayer and in our lives?
Let us gather to pray, to ponder, and – yes – to laugh together.
