While the observance of Lent is optional, the three disciplines practiced in Lent are not. Thankfully, Jesus provides further instructions on giving, prayer, and fasting. In our Lenten journey, we will explore these various texts alongside thoughts from saints throughout history who have walked this way before us. For now, let’s join them by starting with adoration and repentance. This is the first step to learning new habits linked to giving, prayer, and fasting. May we see “patches of Godlight” as we read together. If you don't have a Lent study yet, it's not to late to start. Click on the link below to download Lent Companion by Gary G.
