A Lenten Journal

“Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God” – Matthew 5:8
 
The Beatitude, “Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God,” enables us to focus on the purpose of Lent as it is a time set aside for all Christians to embrace conversion and actively strive to purify one’s heart. The heart, in the biblical sense,  means the center of one’s being where the passions, intellect, and will converge.   Therefore, in order for one to “see God,” their heart needs to be cleansed of sin and weakness. The conditioning of the heart for Christians results in interior penance [cf. CCC 1430-1433].

Disciple of Christ – Education in Virtue™ presents a Lenten Journal to help you navigate the Lenten season, allowing and encouraging you to set aside time to embrace conversion and actively strive to purify one’s heart.
 
Use this journal to help you prepare a ‘fitness’ plan for the heart in order to grow closer to our Loving God. Pray for the gift of self-knowledge in order to recognize an area of your heart which needs “conditioning.”  Learn More
