Lent is an important time in the Church’s liturgical year. This beautiful penitential season invites us to examine the areas of our lives where we struggle and to dwell more intentionally with Jesus Christ as he journeys to the Cross. We often lose sight of the point of this season because we get caught up in ourselves—how hard it is to fast, how we struggle to keep our Lenten promises—and we end up just waiting for the season to be over at Easter. Because of this, we sometimes arrive at Easter no different than we were on Ash Wednesday.
As a parish, we are preparing for Jesus’ death and Resurrection in a special way so that we may experience true transformation in our lives during this powerful season. One way we are doing this is by participating in a new program from Ascension—The Ascension Lenten Companion: Walking with Mary to Jerusalem. The program follows Mary on her journey to Jerusalem alongside her son, Jesus, and includes engaging videos by Fr. Mark Toups and an inspirational journal with daily meditations, prayer prompts, space for journaling, and original sacred artwork.
