Tuesday in the Fifth Week of Lent

We pray through Tuesday of the fifth week of Lent and slow down at the Fraction Rite to see how the breaking of the Host and the Agnus Dei proclaim the Passion and Resurrection. We ask whether our plea for mercy is real, and how that humility readies our hearts to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. • opening prayers and offering of the day through the Immaculate Heart of Mary • meaning of the Fraction Rite and the mingling of Host and Precious Blood • Agnus Dei as a repeated plea for mercy before Communion • humility in “Lord, I am not worthy” and why it belongs right here • contrition as “I’m sorry” before “I love you” at Communion • questions for self-examination about forgiveness and preparation for the Blessed Sacrament If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith this Lent, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our Lenten Reflection booklet, now available on Amazon.com. The Cristeros app is available on the Apple app and Google Play Store. More information on the Cristeros can be found at the Cristeros.org. Send us Fan Mail
