The Liturgical Year

Our ‘Ora et Labora’ journal for Lent and Easter is available now!

This journal is an invitation to walk with Christ through the sacred rhythms of the liturgical year. As we enter the season of Lent, we are called to pause, reflect, and renew our hearts in anticipation of the Paschal mystery—Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection. Lent offers us forty days to examine our lives, to surrender what hinders our spiritual growth, and to deepen our relationship with God through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

Holy Week, the culmination of the Lenten journey, takes us from the triumph of Palm Sunday to the solemnity of Good Friday, and finally, to the joy of Easter Sunday. These days are sacred time—moments to remember, to grieve, and to celebrate the profound love revealed through Christ’s suffering and resurrection. It is within this sacred space that we find the fullness of the Christian story, inviting us to enter into both the grief of Good Friday and the joy of Easter.

Throughout this journal, you will find space for daily reflection, prompts for journaling, and the revised common lectionary readings which mirror the themes of each liturgical season. You are encouraged to use this journal not simply as a place to write, but as a tool for deeper prayer and spiritual growth. Let these pages hold your thoughts, struggles, questions, and hopes as you journey through these pivotal moments of the Christian faith.

Whether you are reflecting on your personal walk with God or simply seeking to immerse yourself more deeply in the liturgical seasons, may this journal help you to encounter the grace, peace, and transformation offered in the journey from Lent through to Easter. May you experience the fullness of Christ’s love and the hope of the resurrection in new and profound ways this season.

This edition of our journal contains the seasons of Lent and Easter (March 5th – June 7th)). Each liturgical season has an introduction to the season, some suggestions on ways you can celebrate it and some questions you may wish to take into your journaling practice.

Through the ‘Ora et Labora’ journal we want to invite you to walk through the liturgical year with the wider Church. Using each season as a chance to reflect and ponder on the mysteries and gifts of our faith as you walk with the Lord.
