Fr. John Burns invites you on a pilgrimage this Lent using Return: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation.
Fr. John Burns explains how the season of Lent calls us to return to the Lord, and renounce all those things of the world that separate us from God. Lent begins with the practice of wearing ashes on our foreheads to remind us and the world that there is grave sin, disorder, and division that is against God’s will. As we wear ashes, we proclaim our rejection of sin and our desire to be in communion with God.
How will you repent and return to the Lord this Lent?
Each day of Return includes the prayer from the Collect, an inspiring meditation, thought-provoking reflection questions, and a prayer. There’s plenty of space for journaling as well.
Return features stunning original art by Josiah Henley of Heart of IESVS. Free weekly companion videos, a downloadable discussion guide, and other resources at AveMariaPress.com make this book perfect for parishwide, individual, and book club use leading up to Easter.
Look for the Return videos each Sunday in Lent, as well as Easter Sunday, here on CatholicMom.com at 10 AM Eastern.
Ask for Return 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.
