Today, I invite you to engage in an ancient prayer of renewal: the Sign of the Cross. As you touch your forehead, chest and shoulders, and intentionally reflect along with me, you will become more mindful of the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit with and within you. Look for clarity and peace to wash over you as you connect your mind, heart, past and future in this present moment.

Seeing really is believing. So today, we engage in a practice that will help us see and participate in a story told by Jesus. Watch how God is present to you as you engage your imagination and all your senses to see this story about a father and two sons.
