An Ignatian Guide to Lent from Jesuits.org

Catholics have a lot of Lenten traditions. If you’ve been Catholic a long time, you may not even register these traditions; they may feel tired and routine. This Lent, use Ignatian spirituality to breathe new insight into these sacred rituals. Learn about Lent and about Ignatian spirituality through the lived experiences of fellow practitioners.

Beauty in the Desert: An Ignatian Lenten Offering from Jesuits.org

This Lent, the Jesuit Conference is inviting Ignatian writers to meditate upon a poem and a song that inspires them during this season. Art, we believe, helps us deepen our understanding of God in our world and our lives.

As we make our way through Lent, we act against the temptation to assume all forty of these days must be gloomy. In fact, in the Lenten sparsity, we find beauty and hope — and these poems and songs will point to exactly that.

From Ashes to Glory from IgnatianSpirituality.com

From Ashes to Glory invites you to take up the practice of reflecting on your day, its gifts and graces, and the progress you are making in life with Christ. It’s a way of praying the Examen through Lent, with materials by Joseph Tetlow, SJ.

Each Sunday during Lent, read an introduction to the week’s prayer. On Ash Wednesday and the Mondays of Lent and Easter Week, find a brief Scripture passage, steps for reflecting with the Examen, and a closing prayer.

The Ignatian Workout: An Online Retreat from IgnatianSpirituality.com

Tim Muldoon’s audio reflections accompany suggestions for prayer and action each week. Based on the book of the same name, the online retreat invites you to practice being a spiritual athlete.

Join in an adapted version of the Spiritual Exercises, perfectly timed as a Lent and Easter retreat. Materials are based on The Ignatian Adventure, and Joseph A. Tetlow, SJ, author of the new book, Considering Jesus, will offer weekly video reflections during the season. Use as much or as little of the material as helps you in your Ignatian adventure.
