Our Lenten Journey, March 16, 2026

Continuing with the theme of light from yesterday’s quote, St. Francis de Sales reminds us that light helps us to see better. As you go through your day, try to see the light of God in all that you encounter.

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:
