Episode 199: Lent is About Jesus (Ash Wednesday)
The Poco a Poco Podcast • 1h 0m
Series on The Ascension Lenten Companion by Fr. Mark Toups (Part 1)
What does Jesus desire for you and Him this Lent?
The temptation during Lent is to make the Lenten journey about us, we can do hard things during Lent that are fueled by our own desires and distractions but Lent isn't supposed to be about ourselves. Lent is also not simply about prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Those disciplines help us to focus on what we need to focus on. This season is about a person and that person is Jesus.
In this episode, we'll talk about the reality of Lent and how we can orient ourselves to our relationship with Jesus as we enter this year's Lenten season.
Happy Ash Wednesday everyone!
