Lenten Resources

Daily Lenten Devotional

We invite you to “take up and read” the Gospel readings this Lent with our PDF of 40 Days to Peace 2023, and along with the meditations provided by Fr. John Bartunek, to enter more deeply and richly into relationship with the person of Jesus Christ by journeying with Him in the story of His Passion. 

It’s what we were made for, what Jesus came and died for — that we not just ‘scrape by’ but  experience the abundance of life found in an authentic relationship with Him.

That relationship is made possible by a life of prayer, of ongoing encounter. And one of the most powerful and concrete ways to experience the Lord is by praying with Scripture.

You are not alone in your suffering.

You are not alone in the burdens you bear. Jesus Christ sees you as you struggle with physical suffering, emotional wounds, and spiritual trials. He desires that you unite your crosses to His own and experience the redemptive power of suffering.

That’s right—there is power in your sufferings. Tremendous, often untapped power. 7 Steps to Accepting Suffering can help you accept your suffering to turn it into something fruitful.

Are you more likely to nurse a grudge—or worry too much about the opinions of others? Do you spend too much time daydreaming—or gossiping? Are you more frustrated by your failures—or judgmental of the failings of others?

Answering these questions and others like them can help you identify what is known as a “root sin” or a disordered attachment to some good.

Armed with this insight into your mind, heart, and your inclinations, you can make serious progress in the spiritual life.

Includes:

  • 5 Steps for a Good Confession
  • Act of Contrition – Purgative
  • Act of Contrition – Illuminative and Unitive
  • Sins of Omission

Pre-Lent Webinar

Rather than having lent sneak up on you unprepared, join Dan Burke to learn about the ancient tradition of Septuagesima that helps us prepare for the penitential season as we examine our spiritual infirmities, root sins, need for mortification, and the depths of God’s love and mercy.

BOOKS

Sometimes discernment seems complicated, and we struggle to “be still” to listen to God’s voice. Following the death of his spiritual director, St. Alphonsus Liguori penned timeless advice in a letter to one of his spiritual daughters, and it became the famous work titled Uniformity with God’s Will. Now Dan Burke breaks open St. Alphonsus’s eighteenth-century classic for you. He intersperses relevant explanations and insights within the text of this great saint and includes reflection questions for each chapter.

Discover why growing in prayer, which sometimes can be compared to a battle, is worth every ounce of effort you give it. Even if you’ve never prayed, or if you’ve never developed the habit of daily prayer, God is waiting to meet you where you are and encourage you every step of the way.

In concise, straightforward prose, author Dan Burke here provides an invaluable road map for spiritual growth, complete with signposts to help ensure that you remain on the right path. He guides you through the hazardous terrain that can threaten your spiritual health and shows you how to discern God’s will daily and follow it in a meaningful way.
