Pope Francis: The Joy of Lent

While Lent is a time for sacrifice, reflection and prayer, Pope Francis has also called us to a greater appreciation of the joy of the gospel. In Pope Francis: The Joy of Lent, excerpts from the pontiff's public remarks are presented each day. The pope's inspirations are accompanied by prayers written by author Christopher Klofft and by suggestions for further Scripture reading, helping parishioners to be transformed by joy.
