The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) recently released the first video in their annual Journey Through Lent video series.
The first video reflection focuses on Ash Wednesday and is available now by clicking here or going to the CCCB’s YouTube channel. The video series is offered as a way for individuals, families, and small groups to spiritually deepen their Lenten journey. Each video is based on the readings for Sunday Mass with new messages released each Mondays in Lent. The video are available in both English and French. This year’s reflections are presented by:
- The Most Reverend Daniel J. Miehm, Bishop of Peterborough (in English).
- The Most Reverend Juan Carlos Londoño, Auxiliary Bishop of Québec (in French)
