Don’t Be A Consumer. Be a Disciple.
What does it mean to have your BEST LENT EVER? In a way we can’t actually answer that. Your journey and how God moves in your life will be as unique as you are. In another way though, every best Lent ever has something in common. People who have their BEST LENT EVER aren’t just consumers of this content, they’re disciples of it. God wants to fill your soul, certainly, but he also wants to work through you to transform the lives of those around you. Think of some of the people he has placed in your life. A friend who’s dissatisfied and wants more from life. A spouse who’s drifted from the faith. A child who’s never known the spark of the divine. This Lent, be a disciple to them. Invite them to explore the life-giving power of generosity. Or to discover a new or deeper relationship with Jesus. Whichever path will meet them where they are…be bold…offer them the chance to walk it with you.
- This Lent, don't just give up candy and chocolates - do something more! In our new PREMIUM EDITION video series, Father Rocky takes you all the way through the Mass, from the preparation to the final blessing.
