Let God lead this Lent. Join Fr. Columba Jordan, CFR, for daily Lenten meditations that will help you learn to rely on God’s strength.
Rooted in the Crux program's holistic balance of body and soul, the Crux: Daily Lenten Meditations devotional offers daily reflections and Scripture passages to help you pray, meditate, and surrender yourself to God.
You will read through the entirety of the Gospel of Mark, reflecting on your identity as God’s beloved child, and you’ll respond through prayer and practical action.
Designed for individuals, families, and parish groups, Crux helps you unite the physical and spiritual disciplines of fasting, exercise, Scripture reading, and a daily Examen into one transformative Lenten experience that will lead you closer to Christ.
