Lent: Hearing the Call to Conversion


Holy Fishsticks! Lent Is Here!

Lent is our call to conversion. Here at the St. Joe's Young Adults blog, we are your Pahtnas in Prayer! And fasting. And almsgiving. We'll be giving you the heads-up to seasonal events that will enhance your call. Stay tuned for upcoming events.

For daily prayer, check out these awesome resources:


Pray As You Go is prayer in a podcast. This daily dose of readings, reflection and sacred music is guaranteed to pump you up - in prayer! It's produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives in London. The viral buzz that turned this site into a worldwide phenom just goes to show you that there is more to life on the Internet than YouTube celebrity outings.


Sacred Space is a daily prayer online produced by the Irish Jesuits. "It might seem strange to pray at your computer, in front of a screen, especially if there are other people around you, or distracting noises. But God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere!" (From the Sacred Space website introduction)

From the introductory screen, you are lead to read and meditate on the interactive text. Consider it a digital lectio divina!



Daily Readings of the New American Bible

The daily readings, as well as the full text of the NAB, are available online. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops website also features a podcast of the readings.
