Lent is an important time in the Church’s liturgical year.  This beautiful penitential season invites us to examine the areas of our lives where we struggle and to dwell more intentionally with Jesus Christ as he journeys to the Cross. We often lose sight of the point of this season because we get caught up in ourselves—how hard it is to fast, how bad we are at fasting—and we end up just waiting for the season to be over at Easter.  Because of this, we sometimes arrive at Easter no different than we were on Ash Wednesday. 

           Each week during Lent, review a video featuring Fr. Toups.  Each video will offer insightful and prayerful reflections for our journey through Lent toward Easter Sunday.  A companion discussion sheet is posted as a reflection starter.
