Pam Robertson of Talking Joy Has a Conversation with Joyce
In this conversation with Pam Robertson, Joyce Rupp discusses Jesus, Guide of My Life and offers reflections for the Lenten Journey. The Lenten season is framed as a spiritual journey that prepares us to celebrate Easter and new life. Joyce invites us to set aside a few minutes each day to read a verse of scripture and prayer response. Then sitting quietly, allow the Spirit’s wisdom to speak to you and, if you choose, write a brief prayer reflection yourself.
