Ascension's Lent program, The Ascension Lenten Companion: Walking with Jesus to Jerusalem, features weekly videos with Fr. Mark Toups to help your community enter more deeply into the beautiful and penitential Lent season, find peace, and let God heal the parts of their hearts that need it most.
Why are Christians encouraged to embrace suffering? Is there really any value to suffering? How can I better process suffering in my life? What does suffering well with Christ look like? What practical steps can I take to better utilize my sufferings for the salvation of souls. Starting on March 11th, for eleven days, we will provide you readings to help you slowly and prayerfully begin processing suffering and its place in the Christian life. The first four meditations lay the basic groundwork for understanding suffering. Meditations five through ten deal with how we should respond to the suffering we experience. The final meditation is a reminder of where all this is heading.
Fun and faithful activities for children ages 5-12 for every day of Lent!
