Make Lent a Season for Healing Your Grief

By Joel Schorn

Turning to God, focusing on what’s most important, and being generous to others during this time—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—are helpful ways to remember that Lent is a season of preparation and longing for the joy of resurrection, the fullness of life. Allowing God to embrace your grief reveals how the emptiness you feel—like the empty tomb of Jesus—points to something much greater and everlasting. And in that light, we see light, in heaven and on earth.
