Made for Heaven: Fourth Week of Lent

Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR, invites you on a pilgrimage this Lent using Made for Heaven: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation.

In this video, Fr. Agustino emphasizes that the gospel readings for the fourth Sunday of Lent—in all three cycles of readings—are centered on learning to trust more in the Lord every day. Fear can often hold us back from trusting in God. Our own life experiences of hurt and disappointment can get in the way too. But Fr. Agustino reminds us that we can overcome that fear, hurt, and disappointment by praying to God and asking him to transform those fears into trust because we are made for heaven.

Join Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR—founder of Corazón Puro—on a multimedia Lenten journey inspired by St. Francis. Begin the season with a vow of poverty and end at Easter with a heart free from the desert of sin and open to love, serve, and care for others.

Made for Heaven features stunning original art by Valerie Delgado of Pax.Valerie, along with daily meditations on a passage from scripture, reflection questions, prayer, and space for journaling and notetaking.

A life of simplicity and poverty orients you toward God’s love and reminds you that you are made for heaven. Torres says the best way to prepare yourself for that final destination is to live as true pilgrims who need to “travel lightly” and detach from earthly pleasures.

Made for Heaven is perfect for both individual and group use. Free companion videos and a downloadable leader’s guide are available at avemariapress.com. The book and other resources are also available in Spanish.

Look for the Made for Heaven videos on each Sunday in Lent, here on CatholicMom.com at 10 AM Eastern.

Ask for Made for Heaven at your local Catholic bookstore, or order from Amazon.com or Ave Maria Press. Bulk discounts are available for your parish, book club, or prayer group when you purchase the book from Ave Maria Press.

Creados para el cielo: Cuarta semana de cuaresma

En este vídeo, el padre Agustino enfatiza que las lecturas del evangelio para el Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma—en los tres ciclos de lecturas—se centran en aprender a confiar cada día más en el Señor. El miedo a menudo puede impedirnos confiar en Dios. Nuestras propias experiencias de vida de dolor y decepción también pueden interponerse en el camino. Pero el padre Agustino nos recuerda que podemos superar ese miedo, dolor y desilusión orando a Dios y pidiéndole que transforme esos miedos en confianza porque estamos creados para el cielo
