Lent 2021

Pray your way through Lent

With so many ways to pray, every Catholic can find a way that fits their needs to grow closer to God during Lent. 

It might seem like we have been living through Lent for the past 11 months, but this holy season is the perfect time to recommit ourselves to a life centered on God and not ourselves. Praying throughout the day is one way to open up to God. It can be sitting in silence for two minutes, praying the rosary or experiencing other time-honored prayer styles like Lectio Divina. Arkansas Catholic’s special Lent section from our Feb. 27, 2021 edition, has resources to help you find the right style for you.
