Lent to Easter Reflection Booklets

Through Scripture, reflections, and questions for personal and group use, the Office for the New Evangelisation’s combined Lent to Easter Reflection Booklet supports individuals, families, ministries, and communities as we journey inward to receive God’s love more deeply, and outward to share that love with others. Our Lenten practices do not end with Lent, but continue into Easter, where we renew our baptismal call to live as God’s holy people.

Review of Life Workshop

Review of Life Workshop - See Judge Act Method
How can we integrate faith into real-life issues? How can we make decisions as a community with faith?

Lumen Gentium, the focus of Pope Leo's current catechesis, tells us that we are called to sanctify the world from within and become to the world what the soul is to the body.

Join us at CANA to learn the See-Judge-Act method to integrate faith and life in the way we decide our actions. Used by popes and various Catholic organisations, we will use the method in facilitated discussions. You are encouraged to bring friends and community members to learn together.

But as couples journey toward marriage, questions about children, family, and the future often begin to surface.
