The Ascension Lenten Companion:
Walking with Jesus to Jerusalem

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 of the day-to-day grind of your life? These all show that God wants to give you more.

This Lent, experience deeper peace and healing as Fr. Mark Toups immerses you in Christ’s final journey to Jerusalem, inviting you to reflect on Jesus' suffering and death, and inspiring you to celebrate in his resurrection.

During this Lent, you will fall in love with Jesus, learning to see with his eyes and love with his heart. More than just a journal, The Ascension Lenten Companion will guide you, day by day, to an encounter with the person of Christ and help you arrive at Easter transformed by God’s love.

Following the same award-winning format that hundreds of thousands of Catholics have enjoyed through past Lent and Advent reflections, The Ascension Lenten Companion will lead you inward to experience deeper prayer and renewed focus in this powerful season.
