Lent 2025 Prayer Challenge:
Pray 10 Minutes a Day with Scripture
Have you been wanting to commit to daily prayer? Lent is a great time to develop new spiritual habits. This Lent, we are challenging all our parishioners to:
Pray for 10 minutes a day with Scripture.
Find someone else who is participating in this challenge and check in with that person once a week to see how things are going.
Not sure what Scriptures to pray with?
Pick up a copy of Word Among Us in the Gathering Space. We ordered extras for Lent! It includes the readings we pray with every day at daily Mass. I would encourage you to spend your 10 minutes a day praying with the Gospel reading for that day.
Not sure how to pray with Scripture?
Listen to Sara Scheunemann’s weekly Lenten audio podcast with tips for how to pray and for prayer with the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday. It will be 10 minutes or less.
We hope you join this challenge!
