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.
