Lent 2025
Choosing a physical lack, stirring a spiritual longing
Fasting creates a physical lack and in its place grows a spiritual longing. Our choice in Lent: to go without. Our hope in Lent: to gain Christ afresh.
We have curated two different – and simple – pathways to help you journey through Lent. The first is focussed on removing counterfeit comforts that actually numb our soul and allow us to avoid taking our deepest desires and longings and pains to Jesus, the great Comforter. The second is to help us make a radical decision against distraction and instead give God our attention which, in turn, stirs adoration. Why not choose the pathway you think will have the biggest impact, invite the Holy Spirit to fill you, give it a try and journal about how you encounter Jesus through it?
“The discipline of fasting can focus our prayers in the way that a magnifying glass can focus sunlight to start a fire.”
