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:
Whether it’s been a few years, or a month, consider seeking out the sacrament at any parish in the diocese of Wilmington. In the latest edition of The Dialog you’ll find a handy guide to the sacrament on page 2. Check it out here.
