Lent Makes Us Fully Alive

As our Lenten journey draws to a close, we meet Jesus in Jerusalem for Holy Week.

Fr. Tim Anastos, author and assistant chaplain at the St. John Paul II Newman Center at the University of Illinois, highlights how Lent offers us an opportunity to become fully alive in Christ Jesus. Through our weeks of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we have experienced the love of the Lord in distinct and profound ways. Now, as Holy Week unfolds and we participate in the liturgies of the Triduum, we witness the culmination of these graces and how they reveal that life is worth living with Jesus Christ.

Walking in Holiness

“When the days drew near for Him to be received up, He set His face to go to Jerusalem.”

—Luke 9:51
