CWNews covers a talk to Roman Priests by the Holy Father: Pope speaks with Roman priests on Lent, evangelization, judgment
Rome, Feb. 8, 2008 (CWNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) said that Christians, and particularly priests, should create "a silent space for ourselves, without images," during the season of Lent, in order to provide more space for God.That having been said, there are many things for us to consider, such as shutting off the TV and radio for starters. Or, if you don't watch Catholic television, or listen to Catholic radio, now is a good time to let go of the worldly in favor of the spiritual. Here are some options that you can listen to right on your computer:
The Holy Father met on February 7 with priests of the Rome diocese, and-- following what has become his pattern in such meetings-- answered a number of questions form the group. In answer to a question about Lenten practices, the Pope said that it is useful to guard against the "bombardment of images" in modern society by consciously pursuing a meditative silence.

I have not elected to give up the internet for lent, but will slow posting to encourage myself, and my readers, to do more spiritual reading, prayer and adoration. I will continue to post on happenings at Assumption Grotto and focus on lent.
