Lenten Journey with Mother Mary invites you to walk with the world’s model of faith and purity – the Virgin Mary herself – each day of your Lenten spiritual pilgrimage to Easter. Here the wise Fr. Edward Looney introduces Mary’s messages, dedicating each week of Lent to an overarching theme from her apparitions, drawing forth from them a vibrant new lived spirituality for you.

With the help of Our Lady and Fr. Looney, you’ll discover here how to make your examinations of conscience more fruitful; you’ll learn powerful new methods of prayer; and you’ll gain an unwavering trust in Our Lord’s love and mercy.

As a result, at the end of your Lenten journey and as if through the eyes of Mary herself, you’ll experience the Paschal Mystery as never before, sorrowing and rejoicing with her as the events of Holy Week unfold.
