Monday Resource

Today’s resource is a collection of landing pages from Papal Messages for Lent. In particular, let us reflect on the consistent themes in the 27 Lenten Messages of Pope St. John Paul II - the poor, the hungry, the marginalized, and a reminder that Lent is a time to serve and pray in solidarity.

Pope John Paul II’s Lenten Messages (1979-2005)

Bonus resources:

Pope Leo XIV’s first Lenten Message (2026)

Pope Francis’s Lenten Messages (2014-2025)

Pope Benedict XVI’s Lenten Messages (2006-2013)

Lord, how can I fully engage with your call to serve the poor? How can I ensure that my personal Lenten commitments bring me closer to the needy, the marginalized, the forgotten?
