Lenten Resources / Recursos para la Cuaresma
Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers:
We invite you to step back with us this Lent and reflect on our reality from the context of the Gospel. We do this so we can hear how the Spirit is inviting us to be God’s love in the world. To help you in your Lenten journey, we have Reflection Guides based on the Sunday Gospels that can be used in a group or on your own. We also have Families in Mission Guidesespecially for families with children. Additionally, we invite you to consider joining our group that will meet online, to reflect and pray together. Explore our website to see all our Lenten Resources including the Stations of the Cross with a social justice focus.
