Has your relationship with God grown stale? Has it lost its spark? Are you plagued by a particular sin? Something you can’t shake? Are you just tired from the day-to-day grind of your life? These all show that God wants to give you more. And this Lent can be when God gives it to you.

Fr. Mark Toups, an experienced spiritual director, leads readers inward to invite the Lord to heal those areas where they need it most. He follows the same format that tens of thousands enjoyed in Advent with his popular Rejoice! journals. Readers will receive daily guidance as well as supplemental videos, to help enter more deeply into Lent and remain focused throughout the season.

• The Ascension Lenten Companion: Year A, Journal which is 108 pages long, featuring daily entries, each offering a word, a scripture passage, a short meditation, and a prayer prompt.
• The Ascension Lenten Companion: Year A, DVD which features the Parish Kickoff video as well as the five weekly followup videos.
• Special Bonus - a copy of our Stations of the Cross booklet, The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus.

Join the official Lenten Companion Facebook group community to receive weekly videos from Fr. Mark Toups, share prayer requests with other readers, and share what God is placing on your heart this Lent.

Experience the way of the cross as you never have before. Rather than meditating about Christ’s journey to the cross, pray with him.

Jesus, as an observant Jewish man, would have prayed the Psalms throughout the day, and drawn strength and peace from them.

In The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus, Fr. Toups invites us to step closer to Christ and pray beside him, drawing strength from Scripture during his last moments before the crucifixion.

Each station features:

• • A short reading from Scripture
  • A brief meditation
  • A Psalm to pray with Christ
