“Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end.” Today’s Gospel takes us to the moment before the Last Supper, when Jesus gave us the greatest gift: The Eucharist.
“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

Welcome to The Dialog’s Lenten Journey for 2026. Each morning we will bring you a thought to start your day — a passage from scripture, a quote from a saint or faith-filled person, or a suggestion for a work of mercy — along with links to each day’s readings and other Lent-related topics.
Whether it’s been a few years, or a month, consider seeking out the sacrament of Reconciliation this Holy Week and Easter season. In the latest edition of The Dialog you’ll find a handy guide to the sacrament on page 2. Check it out here.
