Your thoughtful companion for your walk through Lent.

Bitter & Sweet: A Journey Into Easter

In a world that celebrates indulging our whims whenever we want, practicing the traditions of Lent is countercultural.

The practice isn’t about proving our worth or earning God’s love; it’s about remembering how dependent we are on our Maker while we live here in our temporary, fragile bodies.
