Lent is a time to take stock of where we are on our spiritual journey. It is a moment to check our spiritual bearings and take any action that will keep us moving in the right direction. Open Our Hearts invites small-group participants to deepen their faith and discipleship, connecting the Scriptures to their lives as individuals, family members, and as Catholics engaged in civil society.

Take time this Lent to engage with scripture and reflect on different aspects of your spiritual life with Open Our Hearts. Look at how you live out your faith at home, in your parish, and in the world. Connect at a deeper level with the Sunday gospels and take time every day to reflect and pray.

Each weekly small-group session includes scripture, prayer and reflections along with concrete ways to live out that faith. The book also provides a meditation and reflection question for each weekday of Lent.

Small groups will meet weekly throughout Lent, which begins Ash Wednesday (Feb. 18th, 2026). If you wish to join a small group, please complete the inquiry form by clicking on the left-side tile above, entitled "Small Group Inquiry Form." To order your copy of the book, please click on the right-side tile above, entitled "Book Order Form." The order form will be open through February 11th.
