Before Lent officially begins, the Church gently invites us to slow down and prepare our hearts. In this Weekly Visit, Jenna and Steph will introduce the often-overlooked season of Septuagesima: a sacred threshold that helps us transition from Ordinary Time into deeper repentance and renewal.
Together, we’ll talk about why preparation matters, how small interior shifts can make a big difference, and how God meets us before we ever “get it right.” If you’ve ever felt rushed into Lent or unsure how to begin well, this conversation is for you.
Reflection Questions:
Where do I sense the Lord inviting me to slow down and prepare - not strive - as Lent approaches?
What habits, distractions, or expectations might God be gently asking me to loosen my grip on before the season begins?
How can I make space this week to listen for God’s voice rather than rushing ahead to “do Lent well”?
