Create in Me a Clean Heart: Ten Minutes a Day in the Penitential Psalms

Every year, Lent holds out the opportunity for a spiritual â€œcleanseâ€ â€“ a chance to open your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to shine a light into dark corners, expose sin and pain, and offer them up for forgiveness and healing.

One time-honored custom that harnesses the power of Godâ€™s word to â€œreadâ€ hearts in this way is praying the seven â€œPenitential Psalms.â€ Sarah Christmyer, Catholic author and co-developer of the popular Great Adventure Catholic Bible Study Program, invites you to set aside ten minutes a day to ponder one of these Psalms each week of Lent. Use this devotional prayer journal and allow the word of God to soak into your heart and move you toward a fresh, new start at Easter.

Each chapter includes:
- The text of one of the Penitential Psalms
- A moving personal reflection from Sarah Christmyer
- A step-by-step guide to meditating on the psalm
- Space to write what you see and hear and to respond to God

A guide to meditating on Scripture using lectio divina is also included.

"Ultimately, the word of God is not a book but a person who loves us and longs to connect with us on an intimate spiritual level. Take the opportunity Lent provides to offer up just 1% of your waking hours to get to know God: Take 10-15 minutes a day â€¦ get away from it all â€¦ open your heart â€¦ and listen for his voice."
