Listen to Him

Listen to Him is a parish Lenten resource designed to help us slow down, open our hearts, and learn to truly hear God’s Word. Through short weekly video reflections on the Sunday readings, accompanied by small group discussion questions and personal prayer prompts, this journey invites us to move from simply hearing Scripture at Mass to allowing it to shape our daily lives. This Lent, we are invited not just to do more, but to listen more deeply, and to let God’s Word lead us toward renewal, freedom, and the joy of Easter.
