The Pray More Lenten Retreat is now available!

If you haven’t already, you can still sign up for it here. You won’t have missed out on anything by signing up today :)

Here are three pieces of Advent for Lent from some of our retreat speakers:

1) How to respond in times of temptation

“We must never enter into a dialogue with the enemy. Rather, we must enter into a dialogue with the Word of God who desires to speak to us, who desires to lead us and guide us and sustain us and protect us…

In the Garden of Eden, we saw how Eve entered into a dialogue with the enemy and was defeated. Mary, on the other hand, entered into a dialogue with the Word of God and fulfilled God’s plan. She pondered on the angel’s greeting. That word ‘pondered’ in Greek is the word ‘dialogue.’

Jesus never entered into a dialogue with the enemy. In fact, he refuted his proposals by quoting and by claiming the Word of God. He said, “It is written man does not live on bread alone, but from every word that comes from the mouth of God.” You see, friends, God’s Word has to become flesh in our lives.” – Michelle Karen D’Silva

2) How to accept that you need God’s grace, constantly:

“The Lord invites you to come to Him whenever you feel weary and find life burdensome… In the Bible, there’s some variation of “Do not be afraid” at least 365 times, so at least once for every day of the year. Which is kind of consoling, because it means the Lord wants us to come to Him whenever we’re feeling weary and we find life burdensome.

But at the same time, it’s a humbling thing because it means we’re always freaking out, right? And the idea, here, that I want to convey is that we’re called to get used to that — We’re the ones that always need to receive, which would ordinarily be a cause for concern, except for the fact that God is real, God is our father, and He’s the one who always gives. And we can rely on that, we can count on that.

So we can come to Him all the time, and again, the idea is to make that kind of normative. We never graduate from being this open wound who’s in need of the salvific grace of God the Father.” — Fr. Eric Mah

3) Why persevering in prayer is worth the effort:

“Prayer is like sitting in the sun. Prayer is like the Lord’s sandpaper. Prayer is like the steady drip of water upon a rock. We might not always feel what’s happening, but over time, our Lord will smooth out our rough edges…” — Dr. Andrew Swafford

  73. My family and I are going through a very difficult and challenging time right now. I have 2 grown kids. My son is 26 yrs old. He qualified 3 years ago as a sound engineer. He still hasn’t found a job in his field. It just breaks my heart for him. And my daughter is 20 yrs old. She’s in her 3rd year studying teaching. Both my kids are good kids. We live with my mom. We’ve been living with her for close to 10 years. We can’t afford our own place. She’s Muslim which also makes it more difficult for us. She’s not a loving person. I don’t have a mother and daughter bond with us. She loves a material life. She’s always been this way since I was small. She’s already 75yrs old. We don’t feel loved here. But we can’t afford to move out. My younger sister is also Muslim, but she’s very unholy to her religion. Does alot of bad things, but my mom always takes her side. There was peace for a long time. Seems that every 3 months there’s always something bad that happens here. A day before Lent there was another argument. Now when we argue my mother does not speak to us for a while. She has grandchildren and great grand children from my elder sister. But does not acknowledge them, as a result they don’t care about her. I think she and my sister wants to sell the house we’re living in and they want to move to another city. I’m so worried that we will be homeless. I have Faith in God that he will provide for us. Please pray for us.
    God bless

  75. My sister Rosy who was raised Catholic and later on became a “santera” asked me to explain Lent to her, so she could explain it to her friends, and this is what I came up with, It’s the best I could do… What do you think?

    Subject: The meaning of LENT

    : the 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday to Easter observed by the Roman Catholic, Eastern, and some Protestant churches as a period of penitence and fasting days.
    started on Ash Wednwesday where we get the sign of the cross on our foreheads.
    thru the start of HOLY WEEK and ends on Easter Sunday celebrating the resurrection of Christ.
    He went to Jerusalem with His Disciples to celebrate the Feast of Passover, as He enters Jerusalem, He is greeted with palms ( which are burnt on Ash Wednesday as a sign that From dust you are and to Dust you shall return)

    Holy week begins the true and horrible physical sufferings of Christ. (1) The agony in the Garden, when Judas Iscariot sells Him to the soldiers for 30 silver coins. (2) He is then taken in Front of Pontius Pilot where he is Scourged (Whipped). (3)Then Pilot turns Him to the soldiers who make a crown of thorns and put it on His head
    and make fun of Him calling Him the King Of The Jews. (4) The soldiers turn Him over to the Jews by order of Pontious Pilot that never found Him guilty of anything and he washed his hands of the whole thing, telling the Jews to do to HIM according to their laws. (5) They made Him carry his own cross and on Holy Friday was crucified, died and was buried. On Sunday Mary Magdalen went to the tomb where he was buried and found His body was gone. “HE IS NOT HERE, FOR HE HAS RISEN, AS HE SAID” That is the celebration of Easter Sunday, The Resurrection, and the end of Lent.

    This is the best I can do to explain the meaning of LENT. Hope it helps.

  76. Thanks so much for this because all the time we are in lent period and we don’t really understand what it really means
    Secondary I want to testify to you that the Lord has started answering my prayer because I want a government job in wakiso district. So I was among the people shortlisted, I pray that I may be successful and get that Job

  77. I am so grateful that this Lenton retreat is available. I have looked forward to getting online daily to listen. Thank you for providing this wonderful gift to us.
