As we go through the day, let us reflect on the words of St. John Vianney, and put aside any negative thoughts or animosity toward others. If we make forgiveness a daily habit, we can take it beyond Our Lenten Journey to make the world a kinder place. “The saints have no hatred, no bitterness; they forgive everything, and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.” — St. John Vianney

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.
Additionally, everyone is invited to return to the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Reconciliation Monday, March 30. Read more about this special day here:
