Tuesday in the Fourth Week of Lent

We pray through Tuesday in the fourth week of Lent and reflect on the Preface as the key that opens the meaning of the Mass. We trace how the Eucharist is thanksgiving and why giving thanks is described as our duty and our salvation, then we end with a simple question that demands an honest answer. • Opening prayers and daily offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary • What the Preface is and how it teaches the Church’s seasons and saints • “It is truly right and just” as a lens for Christian life • Eucharist as the Greek word for thanksgiving • Why thanksgiving is called a duty and tied to salvation • How ingratitude denies grace • Bringing small daily thanks into Christ’s great Eucharistic thanksgiving • A direct prompt for prayer: what am I thankful for and have I thanked God 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 theCristeros.org. Send us Fan Mail
