The season of Lent invites us as Catholics to step back, take an honest look at our lives, and make space for God through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Join Bishop Dennis Spies in journeying through Lent as we let these practices gently reshape our hearts and our relationship with Jesus in anticipation of the promise of Easter.
