Made for Heaven: Third 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.

On the third Sunday of Lent, Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well. The woman went to the well to get water at the hottest time of the day when no one would be there because she was ashamed and wanted to be alone. Like the Samaritan woman, we may be tempted to hide from others due to our own trauma, self-hatred, and sin. But, as Jesus sought out the woman at the well, he also seeks us—to heal us and remind us once again that 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: Tercera semana de cuaresma

El Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma, Jesús se encuentra con la samaritana junto al pozo. La mujer fue al pozo a buscar agua en el momento más caluroso del día cuando no habría nadie porque tenía vergüenza y quería estar sola. Al igual que la samaritana, podemos sentirnos tentados a escondernos de los demás debido a nuestro propio trauma, odio a nosotros mismos y pecado. Pero, así como Jesús buscó a la mujer junto al pozo, también nos busca a nosotros para sanarnos y recordarnos una vez más que estamos creados para el cielo
