This Lenten Devotional Guide was written for those who love the Church, love prayer, and yet feel quietly worn thin by seasons that ask for more effort than the soul can bear.
Rather than offering forty new tasks or daily spiritual challenges, this guide is built around restraint, repetition, and fidelity. It invites you to remain with fewer prayers, deeper themes, and steadier companions, trusting that love is formed not by novelty, but by staying.
Inside, you’ll find:
A theological and pastoral introduction to Lent as return rather than performance
Guidance on praying the penitential psalms with depth and simplicity
A sustained reflection on Psalm 51 as a prayer for the entire season
Meditative scenes from the lives of Mary Magdalene, Our Lady, and St. Titus Brandsma
A reflection on Lent through the lens of bridal theology
A small collection of fully written prayers designed to be prayed slowly and repeatedly
This guide is not meant to be rushed or completed. It is meant to be returned to. You are encouraged to choose one psalm, one prayer, and one witness, and to remain with them throughout Lent, allowing repetition to do its quiet work.
Please note: this devotional, along with all related bonus content, reflections, and companion materials, is also available to patrons on my Patreon. If you’re already a supporter there, you already have access.
Whether you encounter this guide here or through Patreon, my hope is the same: that it helps you pray more honestly, remain more faithfully, and rest more deeply in the mercy of God this Lent.
Beside you under the Cross,
W.
