A Mystical Lenten Journey

It's Ash Wednesday so that means the beginning of 40 days of blogging. After several years of task-based Lent activities I decided it was time for a change. It's been a bit of a crazy year with being ordained and taking on a new role in preparation for priesthood in June, so I felt that something to supercharge my spiritual life was in order.
Initially I was going to follow the Society of St John the Evangelists (SSJE) 5 Marks of Love, but some events over the past 24 hours means I've changed track to something much more simple.
I've recently been revisiting my interest in celtic spirituality and Christian mysticism. A quick Google led me to Revd. Patty Fox's Lent journey from 2014: 40 Christian mystics in 40 days.
I'll also be folliwing the Northumbria Communities pattern of daily prayer. I'm intrigued and excited about what lies ahead.
