What act of joy and love helped you move closer to Christ and others in Lent?

With the Lenten season upon us, we are inviting you to share stories, ideas and acts of joy and love that brought you closer to Christ and others during a previous Lent.

We hope to share these stories and ideas with all our readers, to help all of us have a more meaningful Lent.

Send your submissions and your stories to John Shaughnessy by e-mail at jshaughnessy@archindy.org or by mail in care of The Criterion, 1400 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN 46202. Please include your parish and a daytime phone number where you can be reached. †
