Lenten Longings Year A Faith-Sharing Book

Lent 2026

Renew yourself this Lent with Lenten Longings: Let Yourself Be... for Year A.

Lent invites us to a time of prayer, reflection, and conversion. Make a six-week retreat by exploring the Sunday readings of Lent. Simple language and everyday metaphors steep you in the season’s promptings to surrender self, work for justice, and deepen prayer life.

Lenten Longings: Let Yourself Be ...encourages participants to embrace the Christ's teaching that authentic loving involves self-surrender.

Lenten Longings is well suited for seasonal groups, small Christian communities, and individual reflection. Song suggestions, prayers, and action responses are included.

Based on the three-year cycle of the Lectionary, each book contains six sessions corresponding to the six weeks of Lent and presents themes drawn from the year’s Lenten readings.

Bulk pricing is available. Please call 1-888-433-3221.
