Getting Ready for Lent 2021

The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness Lenten Read-Along - text next to hands holding heart image

Ash Wednesday is February 17, 2021, so today we’re highlighting just a few of the many Ignatian-inspired features designed to help you observe Lent.

The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness Lenten Read-Along

Plan now to join a special Lenten read-along with Loyola Press. We’ll be reading The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness: 10 Steps to Healing at a relaxed pace that will give us time to savor what we read during the weeks of Lent. The book, by dotMagis blogger Marina Berzins McCoy, delves into the principles of Ignatian spirituality and uses gentle honesty to lay out 10 steps toward forgiveness.
