Best Lent Ever



It’s hard to imagine the start of Lent is just two days away. It feels like we were just celebrating the Christmas season last week. We are challenging everyone to do something special this year during the season of Lent. Most give up chocolate, desserts, our favorite chips, soda, and even coffee. This year let’s do something bold. Let’s do something that will be life-changing. Let’s all Rediscover Jesus this year!

Matthew Kelly’s newest book Rediscover Jesus, takes us on a 40-day spiritual journey to encounter Jesus. The chapters are only a couple pages and at the end offer a point to ponder, a verse to live by, a question to consider, and a prayer. In addition, Dynamic Catholic is going to offer daily two-minute videos relating to the chapter you read that day. The videos will feature Matthew Kelly and other members of the Dynamic Catholic Team. Participants will discover simple ways to bring Jesus into their day to day lives. It will transform us and help us to grow as intentional disciples. Click here to sign-up to receive the videos.

Our office is also setting up special discussion groups where participants can offer their thoughts, opinions and reflections. The groups will also allow individuals from all parts of the Diocese of Scranton to connect with one another. Email us at vocations@dioceseofscranton.org if you are interested.

We hope this Lent will be the best one yet. Just imagine how great it would be if thousands of Catholics had a life-changing Lent this year.

May God Bless You during this Lenten season and always.
