LENTEN REFLECTIONS AND RETREATS
Set Free with Fr. Josh Johnson from Ascension
Set Free is a series of daily Lenten video reflections in the Ascension app on overcoming the seven deadly sins, presented by Fr. Josh Johnson. The seven deadly sins are the fountainheads of every other sin. By combating these deadly sins with daily fasts, prayer, and surrender to God, we can make progress against the sins we may fall into on a regular basis.
This Lent, Hallow will once again launch its Lent Pray40 prayer challenge, beginning on Ash Wednesday. Jonathan Roumie, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, Fr. Mike Schmitz, and Mark Wahlberg will serve as guides for the prayer challenge, whose theme will be The Way based on the powerful verse John 14:6 “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”
The Great Fast with St. Michael’s Abbey
Since the days of the Old Testament, holy men and women have recognized that fasting is important for great faith. By God's grace, proper fasting can help us accomplish so much: deeper prayer, resolute detachment from sin, and greater inner peace. For these forty days, the Norbertines invite you to focus on the stark beauty, stunning simplicity, and life-changing power of fasting.

SEVEN SORROWS OF MARY
Devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows became a standard devotion in the Church around the 14th century. It was revealed to St. Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) that devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary's Seven Sorrows would bring great signal graces. The devotion consists of praying seven Hail Mary’s while meditating on the Seven Sorrows of Mary.
