Lent Begins
February 01, 2008
"Christ made himself poor for you" (2 Cor 8:9) -Pope Benedict XVI's Lenten Message

Lent offers us a time to prepare and reflect on the great Easter mystery, that "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son." To help Catholics during this season, the USCCB has created a Lenten Resources page with four main sections, What We Believe, What We Celebrate, How We Live, and How We Pray.

 

What We Believe lists Pope Benedict's Lenten message as well as suggested reading from the United States Catechism for Adults.

Lent Resources page

What We Celebrate includes Q&A about the sacraments and preparing for Holy Week, as well as devotions for lent.

 

How We Live discusses Catholic Social Teaching and moral issues that we face as Catholics in the United States, and includes ways that the Church participates in community service, here and abroad.

 

How We Pray has resources on daily reflections, the Stations of the Cross, a Rosary for Peace and a Rosary for the Church in Need, as well as other prayers. In addition to these pages, there are also resources for families, youth and young adults, RCIA, the parish, and the home.
