By joining, you will receive a 3 minute video reflection each morning from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The reflections feature Matthew Kelly and are based on the book we handed out at Christmas, Rediscover the Saints. As we often say, Lent shouldn’t be focused simply on what we give up, but on who we become through the disciplines of prayer, fasting, and generosity. Let’s all move toward becoming a-better-version- of-ourselves and discover together the amazing possibilities God has in store for each of us this Lent. It’s simple to sign up at BestLentEver.com.
