You’ll Never Repent a Lent Well-Spent! Ash Wednesday is Here!

Liturgical Year - LentI love that phrase! “You’ll never repent a Lent well-spent!”

My wife heard that from one of the Marist brothers she teaches with at Marist HS in Chicago so I couldn’t resist “re-appropriating” it! How true it is: if we make the most of this Lenten season, we’ll not regret it.

And now, with Ash Wednesday upon us, we officially enter into the Lenten season, 2013. A great big THANK YOU to all who participated in my Lenten Webinar: Lent in a Year of Faith! A recording of it will be available here on my blog within a week’s time for those of you who missed it or for those who want to share it with a friend. May we all use this Lenten season during this Year of Faith to become more effective proclaimers of the Gospel in word and deed.

I’m happy to point you to a bevy of Lenten resources that are available to assist you in your ministry and in your own spirituality:
