Lent invites us into the silence. Into the desert. Into the deep places where God waits. This year, we are pleased to offer you a free companion for that sacred journey, an e-book titled Lent in Contemplation.
Prepared for the CACS community by three founding members of the Contemplative Women of St Anne — a lay community in the Archdiocese of Toronto who live as a “monastery without walls” — this e-book draws on the feminine mystical and monastic tradition of the Church to guide you into a richer experience of Lent.
Across forty days, you will journey through three transformative themes:
- The Desert — where silence does its patient, holy work
- The Temptations — where we name our compulsions and find freedom
- The Passion — where we are drawn ever closer to the heart of Christ
Each day brings gospel readings, prayers and reflections designed to deepen your awareness of self and of God — because contemplative prayer is, at its essence, a relationship of love.

Furthermore, just before Holy Week, you can join us on Zoom to reflect together on where the forty days have led you. Save your spot now and you’ll receive the Zoom link the day before the event.
