Lent is a sacred season of penance, prayer, and preparation, leading up to the glorious celebration of Christ’s Resurrection at Easter. As a child, I didn’t quite understand it. As a teen, I grasped its meaning but was only partially on board. As a young adult, I slowly began to see its depth. Now, as a mother and grandmother, I truly appreciate it, and I look forward to Lent each year as a time of renewal, grace, and transformation.

For centuries, Holy Mother Church has called the faithful to use this time for spiritual renewal through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Lent is not just about giving things upit is about making room for Christ in our hearts. It is about quieting the noise of the world so we can hear His voice. It is about recognizing our need for mercy and embracing the love of our Savior.

Through this book, I invite you to walk this Lenten journey with an open heart, seeking to grow in faith and holiness. Whether you are experiencing Lent for the first time or have walked this path many times, my prayer is that this guide will help you deepen your relationship with Christ and live the beauty of the Catholic faith more fully.
