Will be taking occasional retreat days during Lent. This is one of them. Time for prayer and spiritual reading.
I like this, from this morning:
Are you assailed by temptation of the serpent? Then gaze at the mystical serpent lifted up on Calvery; see there our Lord victorious and triumphant in his bodily death, and the cross will prove a healing remedy.
— Saint Augustine
Could it be, after all, that within our crosses are all our remedies?
