St. Katharine Drexel came from a high-society American family in the Gilded Age, yet she left wealth and comfort behind to live a life dedicated to African Americans, Native Americans and the poor. On today’s Lenten Journey, Drexel reminds us to “open wide our hearts” to serve our neighbors.

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 during this holy season. Watch thedialog.org for more information about this year’s Reconciliation Monday in the Diocese of Wilmington.
