“A clean heart create for me O Lord, and a steadfast spirit renew within me” Psalm 51:10

Lenten Gospel Reflections

Living Lent Daily

Discover a vibrant friendship with Jesus this Lent. Living Lent Daily takes reflections on the Sunday readings by familiar Loyola Press writers, and this Lenten e-mail series provides a framework for a Lent that will lead to a deeper relationship with Christ.
Return to Joy
Renew International
Return to Joy is a daily Lenten companion meant to invite readers to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the nearness of God. The daily Gospel readings, heartfelt reflections, and simple practices will guide you on a pilgrimage of the heart, a journey back to stillness, grace, and joy.
Praying Lent
Renewing Our Lives on the Lenten Journey
Praying Lent reminds the reader that if we focus too much on what we give up we may miss the message of what God wants to give us during this grace filled time. Praying Lent provides readers with a rich, full, and transformative Lenten prayer experience, one in which hearts, minds, and lives are truly renewed as Lent takes on a far deeper and more meaningful purpose.
Witness
A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation
By Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP
Witness brings you face-to-face with the people of the Bible who encountered Christ in his Passion—saints and sinners, friends and enemies, the faithful and the afraid. From the Good Thief to Pontius Pilate, Martha to Barabbas, these figures reveal the depths of the human heart—flawed, fearful, hopeful, and deeply loved.
