Follow these Dominican friars preaching online this Lent
During the holy season of Lent, the Order of Preachers offers a rich array of online preaching and prayer opportunities to accompany the faithful on the journey toward Easter. Across continents and languages, Dominican friars, sisters, and lay collaborators are sharing reflections, meditations, and digital retreats that invite deeper conversion, renewed faith, and a genuine encounter with Christ.
Below are several initiatives from the brothers of the Order that can be followed online throughout Lent. Though varied in format and language, all of these initiatives share a common purpose: to proclaim Christ and help the faithful prepare their hearts for the joy of Easter.
We invite you to follow, share, and pray with these Dominican initiatives as we journey together toward the Resurrection.
