7 Lenten Resources for Reflection and Action

Posted March 24, 2025

Lent is a season of spiritual renewal, an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God, with others, and with creation. To support your journey, we’ve gathered a selection of resources from various organizations that offer reflections, sustainable practices, and thematic retreats to guide you through this sacred time.

These resources provide Lenten reflections, eco-spirituality guides, and faith-based actions for environmental and social justice.

As we move through Lent, may these resources offer you inspiration, deepen your faith, and encourage actions that bring about personal and ecological transformation.
