Begin Lent with Intention

Week One invites you into honest repentance, courageous faith, and concrete action — examining your life with humility, embracing the cross as the path to true freedom, practicing sacrifice rooted in justice and mercy, and loosening your grip on the attachments that keep you from God.

Take 10 minutes a day to prepare your heart. Allow Christ to meet you in mercy, heal what is broken, and lead you deeper into lasting transformation.
