This meditation is the first of seven meditations we are posting this Lent from a retreat by Father Timothy Uhen.

The theme of this first meditation is prayer and interior silence. "O God, you are my God .. My soul longs for you (Psalm 63)." In prayer we recognize our sinfulness. But we also can learn to experience God's mercy and unconditional love.

During Lent, we seek a deeper love of God and neighbor through prayer, self-denial, and charity. In these seven retreat meditations, Father Uhen will draw from Psalm 63, a "Psalm of Longing," as a guide for this yearning. The aim of these Lenten meditations is to help us, through Jesus, to gaze upon the glory of God and to realize that his kindness is a greater joy than life itself.
