Tears of Christ, audio meditations for Lent
This Lent, your parishioners can enjoy St. John Henry Newman’s Lenten sermons through audio recordings. “Jesus wept, not merely from the deep thoughts of his understanding but from spontaneous tenderness, from the goodness and mercy, the encompassing loving-kindness and exuberant affection of the Son of God for his own work, the race of man.” This precious insight takes us to the heart of the interior life of St. John Henry Newman (1801–1890), from the treasures of which these meditations are offered as a Lenten devotional aid. Drawn chiefly from his sermons and gently modernized, these meditations offer a share in the fruit of his contemplation, that we might better enjoy with him the “one thing which is all in all to us,” which is “to live in Christ’s presence, to hear his voice, to see his countenance.”

On the "Hallow" App - Lent Prayers for 2022
When Ash Wednesday rolls around each year, it can catch us off guard when it comes to our prayer life. We know Lent is important and that it helps prepare us for Easter. Most Catholics recognize Lent as a solemn period where we repent. As such, during Lent, we might feel pressure to “up our game” when it comes to prayer.
The reality is that prayer is important during Lent. Very important. But fasting and almsgiving matter too. So do all the other actions we might take to help us let go of our own desires and align with God’s call for us. God doesn’t call us to pray *longer* during this time. Or prayer “better” — whatever that means. A great starting point for drawing closer to God and improving our prayer life during Lent is simply the desire to improve our prayer life during Lent.
