Online Resources for Lent

explorefaith.org – A non-profit organization launched in 1999 committed to the ongoing spiritual formation of people of all ages and backgrounds.  On the web site it states:

What we believe.
We believe in an embracing, forgiving and merciful God whose chief characteristic is love. We believe God is constantly reaching out to us and that we can experience the heart of God through Jesus Christ. We believe that Christ bridges the chasms that separate us from God, and we seek to follow Christ’s teachings in faith and action.

explorefaith travel aids for your 40-day journey is described this way on the web site

“explorefaith offers here some travelers assistance: A daily Signpost, offered online and via e-mail; a Lenten toolbox filled with reflections and questions to help you move forward; quotes of great insight and inspiration on a daily calendar; and a modern-day examination of some of Lent’s ancient practices. These offerings and others can be used as equipment—the maps, guide books, walking shoes and compass that will keep you headed in the right direction.”
