Not every practice works for every person; we encourage people to try one, and if it works, to continue practicing faithfully until another practice calls. Silence, contemplative prayer, lectio divina, praying the labyrinth, living sustainably, journaling, spiritual direction, body prayer, yoga, chanting the psalms, fasting (from food, from consuming, from driving, etc), charitable giving, eating locally, St. Ignatius’ daily examen, grace before meals, regular church attendance – these are all spiritual practices that sustain our members.
