PBDaily Lenten reflections with a novel approach.BbrbrLent is often a season given to denial of physical pleasure and sensation but were already denied these by a cultural atmosphere saturated with visual images noise and air pollution violence and processed foods that dull the senses. The physical senses play an integral role in the human capacity for emotion and feeling. Overstimulation in the physical senses gradually erodes ones ability to feel emotion. Yet empathyemotional identification and connection with othersis crucial to liturgical engagement especially in the highly dramatic practices of the signal events of the Christian Year. brbrSam Portaro proposes to restore our ability to participate emotionally in the Lenten journey by revisiting the five physical sensesone per weekin Lent. The discipline of a 40day preparation for Easter suggests the importance the Church places on this seasonal retelling of the central acts of Christian redemption. ISense and SensibilityI encourages the reader to renew a relationship with the physical senses that is a prerequisite to a deeply attuned engagement with the biblical stories read taught and liturgically reenacted in the rites of Ash Wednesday Palm Sunday Holy Week and Easter.P
