Lent

Doing the impossible

March 4, 2021
By Father Ed Dougherty, M.M.

It is freeing to abandon our cares to God and focus on the necessary tasks that have been put before us.

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Lent, The Domestic Church

As we focus on growing closer to Jesus, may we carve out time and opportunities to walk with him in joy. If that happens to include fish sticks for dinner, let me know what time I should be there.

This Lent, risk prayer

March 1, 2021

Do nothing for Lent

February 18, 2021
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, Lent, Open Window

Many years for Lent I take on too many goals and give up too many things. A few days into Lent, I invariably realize I have failed at everything I planned to give up and take on.

Lent’s promise in bleak times

February 18, 2021
By Elise Italiano Ureneck
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Lent

Perhaps it’s a blessing, then, that the church gives us Lent in midwinter. It’s a season of soul-searching; the gray skies give us no other choice but to turn inward and examine the dark spaces we’d rather not explore.

For Lent, ask if one’s life is centered on God or oneself, pope says

February 17, 2021
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Lent, News, Vatican, World News

Lent is a time to reconsider the path one is taking in life and to finally answer God’s invitation to return to him with one’s whole heart, Pope Francis said.

Ash Wednesday: Guided by St. Clare of Assisi

February 16, 2021
By Shemaiah Gonzalez
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Lent

This Lent, I call on St. Clare of Assisi to show me the way. I need a sister in Christ to lead me through Lent radically different than in Lents past — to embrace penance, conversion and self-sacrifice as Jesus refines me.

Lent is time to grow in faith, hope, love and to share them, pope says

February 14, 2021

Filed Under: Feature, Lent, News, Vatican, World News

As Christians pray, fast and give alms during Lent, they also should consider giving a smile and offering a kind word to people feeling alone or frightened because of the coronavirus pandemic, Pope Francis said.

February 11, 2021
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Lent, News, World News

Pope Francis will celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass Feb. 17 in St. Peter’s Basilica rather than making the traditional walk from the Church of St. Anselm to the Basilica of Santa Sabina on Rome’s Aventine Hill, the Vatican said.
