Lent
#TendernessRevolution
Tenderness is “the experience of feeling loved and welcomed precisely in our poverty and misery, and thus transformed by God’s love.”
-Pope Francis
A tenderness revolution // by Archbishop Gomez
We are called to walk with Jesus, and work with him to spread the tender mercy of God in the world, beginning with the people in our lives. This is what our troubled world needs, above all. More kindness. More tenderness. And it starts with you and me.
This Lent, we are on a journey of building a #TendernessRevolution. This is a journey we make together and it is one that begins with God. As Archbishop Gomez wrote, “what makes our lives a beautiful adventure is that we are walking with Jesus and relying upon his grace to help us. It is Jesus who sets us on this path.”
So let us set out together — with Jesus and our family of faith. Let us walk together by praying with and for each other.
We invite you to use the resources below to help you along the journey:
–Daily Examen
–Confession
–Prayer
Receive God’s Mercy + Become Agents of His Love = Build a #TendernessRevolution
