Our Father beckons: “Return to me with your whole heart.” Each Lent the Church offers us a 40-day retreat designed to help us respond to God’s call. Lent is the primary penitential season of the liturgical year. We partake in Lent with prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends with the Easter Triduum — Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The Triduum is the liturgical celebration to help us embrace the ultimate act of love: Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection, the foundation of the Christian faith. We offer the following resources to help you get the most from your time in desert.
