Walking Humbly With God
A Lenten Spiritual Journey
This five-week series shows us how
to build a culture of encounter. During Lent, as we walk with Christ and the Cross, we'll learn how to
accompany each other in our struggles, be aware of those on the margins, and share Christ's love by sharing our lives.
"I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them.... The Lord does not disappoint those who take this risk; whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms."
—Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium 3
