The Ursuline Sisters have helped us  journey through Lent in 2024 by sharing some favorite reading material. Sister Rebecca White prepares us to enter the Easter Triduum with our final installment of “How We Observe Lent.”

“For many years during Lent, especially during Holy Week, I have reflected on Jesus’ last seven sayings from the cross.  They make a powerful meditation, especially if combined with journaling.”

“Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.” — Luke 23:46
