In the liturgy’s first reading on Ash Wednesday, the prophet Joel calls us to wholehearted conversion: “Even now, says the Lord, return to me, with your whole heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning, rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the Lord, your God” (Jl 2:12–13).
Joinus on a journey into the desert with Fr. John Burns and his book, Return: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation.
