Loyola\u2019s Institute of Pastoral Studies Launches Lenten Twitter Campaign
\nOnline Retreat Will Provide Reflection and Prayer Each Day of Lent<\/p>\n

CHICAGO, March 5, 2014 \u2014 Loyola University Chicago\u2019s Institute of Pastoral Studies is launching a new Twitter campaign this Lenten season. The Institute\u2019s Twitter account will share a note of reflection or prayer each day from March 5 (Ash Wednesday) through April 20 (Easter Sunday).<\/p>\n

The campaign will provide followers with a mini retreat each day of Lent. The content will include simple ways to give back, challenges to abstain from something for the day, and ideas on how to quiet our daily lives and reflect. The goal is to inspire followers to make Lent a more personal, daily reflective journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hope is that our followers will use these tweets as an access point for Lenten reflection,\u201d said Brian Schmisek, PhD, director and associate professor of Loyola\u2019s Institute of Pastoral Studies. \u201cThere are many opportunities to reflect during Lent, but we are providing a unique and easy way for our Twitter community to take a step back in today\u2019s fast-paced environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the Twitter campaign, the Loyola community will be joining Jesuits around the US for \u201cMoved to Greater Love,\u201d a nine-week, online series of Lenten\/Easter daily reflections, focusing on four specific graces: Gratitude, Spiritual Freedom, Vision, and Joy. To learn more about \u201cMoved to Greater Love,\u201d visit LUC.edu\/mission.<\/p>\n

To receive the Lenten tweets, please follow @LoyolaIPS on Twitter, or follow the #IPSTweetRetreat hashtag. For more information about Loyola\u2019s Institute of Pastoral Studies, visit LUC.edu\/ips.<\/p>\n
