A Better Way to Choose Something for Lent

by Fr. Mark Mary

Do your Lenten practices feel arbitrary? Do your penances seem ineffective? If you're feeling this way, you might be wondering, "what do you want from me this Lent, God?" 

You might hear the answer as you receive cruciform ashes on your forehead this Ash Wednesday: "Repent, and believe in the Gospel." 

Fr. Mark-Mary wants you to transform your Lent with one simple idea: repentance. There is a better way to do this, and it's not complicated. We hope you have a blessed Lent this year!
