Lent is a great time to devote more time to the Bible. Consider finding the best time to reflect on a small passage from God’s Word. Think about different ways to embrace this season – a season marked by increased prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. These pillars of Lent serve to increase our devotion and faithfulness to Jesus Christ and our sharing in His mission. Our parish’s Lenten Black Books will be available to help you do so. Below are some additional resources you might consider to aid in your journey through the Lenten season:
