Unpacking the Fruits of Lent
After each talk in our Lenten Retreat series every Thursday this Lenten season, we’ll spend another hour online in shared conversation on the themes and insights from the talk with the friars. This session offers you the opportunity to review the talk in a prayerful space with others unpacking the fruits for our spiritual growth. In addition, we’d like to send you later a beautiful free eBook including all the reflections as an Easter gift from the Priory.
