This Lent feels extra special.
We’re coming out of yet another busy winter season with holidays and travel. Counting our blessings (and maybe our lack of sleep), we’re now looking ahead to spring returning. The new life on the horizon brings so much hope!
But we aren’t there quite yet. How do we listen to God here in these 40 days of waiting, sacrificing, and slowly growing in relationship?
The Church gives us a great gift for this every week at Sunday Mass — the Word of God. Read each reading intentionally with us by using your ESS Mass journal!
Here are 2 ways to remember to bring your journal with you each week:
Use the canvas bag we provided to store your journal and keep a pen inside. (We recommend matching your pen to the current season. We have a purple one on hand for Lent!)
Keep it in a visible spot. Maybe on a bookshelf near your keys or even in your car! Leaving your journal in the open helps remind you to grab it on your way to Mass. (Even better, you might remember to pick it up a few days before to read ahead.)
This season is challenging and slow, but it’s also deeply beautiful. We’re walking each step with you!
