Many of us are receiving ashes on our foreheads today, reminding us of our sin and fragility; and more importantly, of our desire to descend to death with Christ during the season of Lent, that we may somehow “attain the resurrection of the dead.” We often find ourselves thrust into liturgical seasons in the midst of our busy lives, unsure of how to slow down and mark the time in a meaningful way.
During Advent, we created a post with a list of resources to help us engage the season. In the same way, we offer you a list of resources to help you walk the journey to the cross. We hope you find something in this list which resonates with your needs this season.
