There are some great resources available for free online to help with our Lenten journeys. Here are some I’ve found, and will be updating as I find more:
Daily Reminders
- Evangelization is important, but it can be scary to share the Faith. Go Lent promises to send daily texts that will “help you step a little bit more out of your comfort zone each day.”
Reflections and Meditations
- A popular practice for Lent is a retreat. The Carmelites are sponsoring a Lenten (i)Retreat with short daily reflections.
- Fr. Michael Sweeny, OP from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology is also doing regular Lenten reflections.
- EWTN is working with Timothy Cardinal Dolan to post daily reflections called Lenten Journey with Cardinal Dolan
Apps
- FOCUS has created Lentsanity, a website and app (Android, iOS) to help with following the Lenten practices, including alerts from Meat Police to remind us not to eat meat on Friday.
- For those familiar with Catholic Relief Service’s Rice Bowl campaign, it now has an app (Android, iOS) that presents daily prayers and reflections, recipes from throughout the world, and shows the good work done by CRS throughout the world.
This is what I’ve found so far, but there’s more out there! If you find something interesting and helpful for your Lenten journey, let me know and I’ll add it to the list.
