lent

As a child, I dreaded Lent, however, over the years I grew to appreciate the gift of this sacred season. This year I’m thinking about fasting from the OUTSIDE and fasting from the INSIDE.

You're invited on a journey, asked to empty your travel bag, and encouraged to trust that your ruffled companion is enough.

The purpose and act of fasting is our focus for this first week. We engage in fasting during Lent as a sign of sacrifice, self-discipline, and a way of reverencing the sacrifice of Jesus’s journey into the desert for 40 days.

How fickle can humanity be?! We go from courageously promising our friendship to fearfully running away at Jesus' most critical time.

Catholic Sisters Week shines a light on the spirituality, mission, and community building of women religious.
