Matthew Kelly's Best Lent Ever
Matthew Kelly is one of my all time favorite, Catholic authors. His books will ignite a fire in even the coldest hearts. If you don't have much time to read, though, try out his online Best Lent Ever program. Each day two short videos, a reflection, and action plan are delivered to your email. It takes about five minutes to read, watch, and reflect on the teaching of the day. Even the busiest of us have five minutes to give to growing in faith. There is still time to sign up, so do it today.

The Wild Goose
I am just starting this study and do not think that I will finish before Easter, but I am so excited that my friend shared it with me. The study consists of a growing list of videos, each around 35 minutes long. There is also a study guide, as well as other resources. The cinematography is breathtaking and the message of the role of the Holy Spirit invigorating. Did I mention it is free? Absolutely free. This would be a wonderful study to do in a small group or just within your family. Everything you need is right there, all you need is about an hour per session. Sign up anytime through the Wild Goose webpage and set you soul on fire.

The Bible and the Virgin Mary
Let's say your time budget is really small. Could you spare about 6 hours over the entire season of Lent? Or do you want to know more about Mary so that you can defend the Catechism of the Catholic Church and grow in appreciation for Our Blessed Mother? If you answered yes to either of these questions, this is the study for you. Delivered to your Inbox in 12 segments (about two per week), this video study from the St Paul Institute is another beautifully crafted addition to any Lenten journey. Truly the films are breathtaking in sight and knowledge. If you choose to delve deeper, free video participants receive free shipping on any order of the companion workbook. Please check it out today!

Bishop Barron's Lenten Reflections
Bishop Barron is a dynamic preacher and solid theologian. He has a depth of knowledge and insight that will draw you deep into the faith, but is able to present it all in a way accessible to anyone. The Bishop's reflections are delivered each day to your email and correspond to the the relevant Gospel readings of the week. With these reflections, you will pick apart the Temptation of Christ over a span of days and have a renewed insight into what these temptations truly meant not only in Biblical context but in the whole of salvation history. There is still time to sign up for free!

Father Gaitley's 33 Days to Morning Glory
This is an exciting study that leads to a total consecrations to Mary. You will not only be drawn to closer devotion to Mary and greater understanding of her role in God's Great Plan, but you will also learn about a collection of saints that were influenced by Our Lady and the fruits of that devotion. I am currently doing this in a small group via Formed.org. While Formed.org is only free to members, the $9.99 per a month cost would easily be paid for just be this one study. I am blessed to have a free membership through our parish. The study on Formed.org includes all the retreat materials ready to print or read online, the entire book 33 Days to Morning Glory and Multiple videos each week of Father Gaitley teaching the principles of the consecration. It is the perfect length for Lent, lasting about 6 weeks.
