Our Lenten Journey
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5
Lent invites us to pause…
… to reflect on the journey that has shaped us and to listen for where God is leading us now. As we look honestly at our lives, we may recognize moments of beauty and blessing, alongside frayed edges, loose threads, and unfinished pieces. Yet, nothing is wasted in God’s hands; grace is woven even through what feels incomplete.
The light shines in the darkness and
the darkness has not overcome it (John 1:5).
Christ’s light – love freely given, mercy without limit – remains steady and present in every season of our lives. It guides us when the path is uncertain and warms us when the journey feels long.
Each day we are drawn toward this light. At times we seek it for ourselves; at other moments we are called to carry it for another – a neighbor, a family member, a stranger longing to be seen. Lent calls us to be attentive to what is within and beyond ourselves and discern where compassion is most needed.
We welcome you to join us as we strive to live more just lives, believing in the sacredness of all lives. Together, let us listen and respond to the unmet needs in our communities.
We remember each of you in daily prayer and ask for your prayers as well. May the light within shine as a beacon of hope in the darkness just as Jesus lights the way for each of us.
Our Lenten Journey
The teachings of Christ invite us to listen, pray and serve one another. Our Foundress Nano Nagle spent hours in prayer, listening to where God was calling her. She did not have every answer, but she kept persevering, knowing she was to do more for others.
Throughout this season of Lent, we invite you to inner reflection and ways to see beyond oneself, striving to bring the light of Christ to others. Weekly reflections are offered below as a guide for your Lenten Journey. Let us join together to be a light in the darkness.
