Lent is a season of profound conversion, a chance to rediscover the truth, goodness and beauty of Jesus Christ — ‘the one thing necessary’ (Lk 10:42). More than simply gritting our teeth, Lent is an opportunity to ask what we might give, like Mary of Bethany, to extravagantly love the One our hearts were made for.
This Lent, The Bethany Way — the Archdiocese of Melbourne’s flagship formation initiative — invites you to join them as we journey through the spiritual desert together.
Each week of Lent, a formation resource will be released to accompany you through the ups and downs of this graced season. In a style similar to the main Bethany Way program, the resource each week will consist of a podcast conversation between hosts Fr Trevor Tibbertsma, Silvana Scarfe and Christian Bergmann, exploring the great themes of Lent, its challenges, and above all the grace to be found if we enter the Lenten experience properly. There will also be an accompanying prayer resource that offers Scripture passages and reflections from the Church’s great treasury of wisdom to keep you throughout the week.
Those who register through Trybooking will receive a link each week with the resources to engage with.
We encourage not only individuals to register but small groups and parish groups too. A facilitation guide will be made available for leaders wanting to use this resource in a group setting.
As we journey together towards Holy Week and Easter with hearts wide open, we are invited to ask: what would you give for the one thing necessary?
