This week on The Radio Reading Room, we explore the heart of Lent—not as a ritual of obligation, but as a season of clarity, honesty, and intentional slowing. Lent invites us into the “quiet places” of our lives, where distractions fall away and deeper truths come into view.The episode reflects on the traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and giving, reframing them as tools for making space: space to return to what matters, space to release what no longer serves us, and space to let compassion take root again.In a world shaped by noise and constant motion, Lent offers a counter‑rhythm—one that encourages stillness, courage, and renewal. This episode is a gentle companion for anyone seeking a moment of reflection as we move toward Easter.Read by Myron Hieronymous Thomas.
