Join Fr. Mark Toups for a daily guided reflection through Lent.

Now that you have Fr. Toups’ book, The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus, we just wanted to see if you would like Fr. Toups’ transformative daily meditation journal to help you encounter Jesus and Mary even more powerfully throughout Lent.

Mary deeply desires that you know and love her son. This Lent, through The Ascension Lenten Companion, you can learn to see Jesus’ Passion and death through the heart and eyes of his mother. With Mary at your side, your prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can become more than habitual practices, profound personal encounters with Christ in his final moments. Enter the heart of Mary as she accompanies Jesus to Jerusalem, and you'll be transformed.

How it Works

Following the same format that more than a hundred thousand people enjoyed in Advent with his popular Rejoice! journals, the Ascension Lenten Companion offers powerful guided meditations for your prayer but also plenty of journaling space to write down your insights and make the journal your own.

Each day, you receive:

Additionally, each week features stunning original sacred artwork by Catholic artist Mike Moyers, the week’s readings, and weekly reflection videos with Fr. Mark Toups plus a special kickoff video for Ash Wednesday.

This is the perfect Lenten meditation series for busy Catholics who want to maintain a consistent and fruitful prayer life this Lent.

Changed

“This is my 66th Lenten season, but boy oh boy, it was a season like none I ever experienced before. I always thought that I was a staunch Catholic who understood my faith and my God. How wrong I was. As I journeyed each day through the Lenten Companion, I felt myself truly connecting with my God. In fact, there were times when the emotions within ran so high, I cried. I am not the same person who started this journey on Ash Wednesday. I feel like a caterpillar who has shed its cocoon; I feel lighter, freer, happier with how I see myself. I feel so much closer to my God, but I know that my journey has only just begun. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am forever changed.”

Inspiring

“This is my third lent using the Lenten Companion, and I would never go through Lent or Advent without them. Fr. Toups challenges you to a closer relationship with Jesus but at the same time he leads you into that relationship. It is so thought provoking and encourages you to continue on with deepening your relationship with Christ.”

“This was my second year living this beautiful experience. I’ve truly had my two BEST Lents. The special way Jesus talks to us through every prayer exercise is priceless! This companion has a precious way to“connect you with Jesus! I wish I could walk around giving them away to everyone I meet! 🥰”
