Lenten Catalogue 2025
Saint John Paul II exhorts us,
Dear brothers and sisters, I invite you during this Lent to meditate upon the word of life which Christ left to his Church in order to enlighten the journey of each of her members. Recognize the voice of Jesus who speaks to you, especially during this Lenten season, in the Gospel, in the liturgical celebrations, in the exhortations of your pastors. Listen to the voice of Jesus who, tired and thirsty, says to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well: “Give me a drink” (Jn 4:7). Look upon Jesus nailed to the Cross, dying, and listen to his faint voice: “I thirst” (Jn 19:28). Today, Christ repeats his request and relives the torments of his Passion in the poorest of our brothers and sisters.
It is our sincere prayer that amongst these carefully selected items, you will find something that will be of use to you during your Lenten journey this year, and we give thanks for the support your purchase will provide to our brothers and sisters who benefit from the work of Aid to the Church in Need.
