Meet God in Surrender this Lent

Join Fr. Columba Jordan with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal for daily Lenten meditations that help you learn to rely on God’s strength.

Rooted in the Crux program’s holistic balance of body and soul, this devotional offers daily reflections, Scripture passages to help you pray, reflect, and surrender more deeply to God.

You will read through the entirety of the Gospel of Mark, reflecting on your identity as God’s beloved child, and respond through prayer and practical action.

(Note: The Sunday readings follow the Sunday readings from Mass.)

Designed for individuals, families, and parish groups, Crux helps you unite physical and spiritual disciplines—fasting, exercise, reading, and prayer—into one transformative Lenten experience that leads you closer to Christ.

For the Family

The weekly family section features prayers, inspirational quotes, challenges, and other activities that align thematically with the Crux’s four Lenten disciplines and this devotional’s daily reflections. They are a helpful way for families to keep the season of fasting, penance, almsgiving, and prayer centered on the loving sacrifice of Jesus.
