Our Lenten Journey, March 24, 2026

As we approach Holy Week, today’s Gospel tells of a tense encounter between Jesus and the Pharisees. He reminds them that even though they are of this world, he is not —  “The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” — John 8:29. Let us not lose sight of this as we continue on Our Lenten Journey.

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:
