Two for the price of one

This Lent, I have two invitations for you. You can pick one or both, it’s up to you. The first one, I had already decided to do it since Advent. The second one felt on my lap last week. I have been praying about it, and it finally hit me this morning. Why pick just one? Let everyone choose depending on their time and schedules. If you can only do one, that’s great, but if you can do both, wonderful. You’ll get two for the price of one. And what’s the price? Immeasurable blessings. 

So here are the two Lenten journeys:



1. A Lenten Journey with Mary: from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. 


This is part two of the journey that I shared during Advent. We will walk with Mary from Jesus’ birth to the cross. We will be with her when the Magi arrive at the stable, when she presents Jesus to God in the Temple, when she has to escape to Egypt, and we will accompany her on the way to Calvary. I published this journey on my blog in 2020 during the pandemic and it helped a lot of people. I hope it does the same this year for those that decide to join us.


I will send/post the link to the meditations every morning during the 40 days of Lent, which means I will not be posting on Sundays. If you would like to receive the link to the meditations by text, WhatsApp or email, please send me a private message.



2. A Journey to Eucharistic Consecration. 


Last week I found out that Matthew Kelly will be leading a spiritual pilgrimage this Lent using his book “33 Days to Eucharistic Glory.” I received this book by mail at the end of 2023, and it confirmed my decision to use the “Eucharist” as my theme for this year’s blog posts. I have not read the book yet because I was waiting for the right time. Lent is the right time. I will be doing this pilgrimage this Lent to consecrate myself to the Eucharist. If you want to join me, here’s the link to sign up and receive daily email reflections starting on Ash Wednesday.

This link will also give you the option to order the book. You don’t need to buy the book, the reflections are free, but I highly recommend that you get the book too. And if the book doesn’t arrive by Ash Wednesday, no worries, they will send you a free download of the first seven days.


If you choose to join both journeys, you will receive both meditations in the morning. You can then decide if you want to read them back to back, or do one in the morning and one at night. It’s up to you. Let the Holy Spirit guide you, and to quote Matthew Kelly, let this be your “best Lent ever.”


God bless you and happy journey(s).
