Crux: A Lenten Journey of Surrender

Let God lead this Lent

Start Here!

Crux: Daily Surrender Reflections

Crux: Daily Surrender Reflections

Study Plan47 Days

Inspired by a holistic view of the body and soul, Crux will lead you in a journey through Lent, balancing physical and spiritual disciplines that will require you to encounter weakness and surrender to God. Each day, Fr. Columba Jordan, CFR, will share a reflection on the daily Gospel passage and encouragement for the disciplines, accompanying you on your journey through Lent. Crux is designed to challenge you, because in our weakness we reach out for God’s help and surrender to his incredible love. When you begin to encounter difficulty, that is the time to run to God and experience the power of surrender: “I can do all things in him who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13. In surrender, you will receive an outpouring of his grace and strength, bringing you closer to the saint you are meant to be.
