In the tradition of his popular Bible study devotional The Better Part, in 40 Days to Peace and Union with God, Fr. John Bartunek, LC, offers daily Lenten meditations to guide you in the way of mental prayer—the prayer of the saints. These reflections, in text and audio formats, will help you actively engage in this essential form of prayer and cultivate a true friendship with Christ. It will also teach you to rest in God’s love and receive healing, grace, peace, and joy during this sacred season.
Fr. Bartunek’s brief, power-packed reflections, focusing on Lenten themes from true fasting to carrying your cross to overcoming fear and temptation, will help you structure your prayer, grow in faith, and experience renewal. They will also enable you to follow the Holy Spirit’s lead along the path to holiness, encounter the Real Presence of our Lord more fully, and cultivate a greater love of neighbor in your heart.
Available on our website, app, by daily email delivery, and in audio version.
