Lent in Focus

“Lessons from the Missions” for Lent from National Director Father Andrew Small, OMI (in English and Spanish).   Archbishop Sheen’s reflections on our Blessed Mother – from Lent 1951.   Examples of how your prayers and support make you a “personal missionary” to so many in need…from Africa to Asia, from Oceania to Latin America…making a world of difference for our mission family.

These are just some of the resources for your Lenten journey that form this website, “Lent In Focus,” from the Pontifical Mission Societies, helping you see the Season through a missionary lens.

Also included are reflections on Scripture for the Sundays of Lent, resources for education for elementary school students, as well as for those involved in youth ministry (activities for each week in Lent), information about the World Mission Rosary, especially in this Year of Faith, and thoughts for Lent from the founder of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, Pauline Jaricot.

Page by page (links above), make your Lenten journey with us – coming closer to the Lord and His continuing mission in our world of need.
