During the Lenten season, Psalm 23 reminds us of God’s intent that we find times of refreshing: Beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. 

St. Ignatius of Loyola refers to these times of refreshing as consolations: a deep-seated sense of God’s presence leading to spiritual growth. 

How are we being refreshed and consoled in our lives, in our Church, and in our work for justice?
