Lent Online
Starting February 18, 2026
Now you can be guided and nourished each day of Lent not only by giving up something but rather by reading these wonderful daily reflections followed by action thoughts. We hope these reflections can help each of us to begin again during the days of Lent, as we make our way “up to Jerusalem” to be with the Lord as He suffers, dies and rises again- bringing us to new life.Â
