What Should You Do for Lent (It’s Not What You Think!) | Franciscan Fridays Ep. 44

Lent is here — and everyone has a program, a challenge, or a 40-day plan. But what if you’re missing the point? Support the podcast: https://tinyurl.com/franciscanfridays In this episode of Franciscan Fridays, Brother Pius and Father Luke reflect on the deeper meaning of Lent: prayer, fasting, almsgiving — and learning to sit in silence long enough to let God tell you that you are His beloved child. From Ash Wednesday humor (yes, we talk about cheeseburgers 🍔) to powerful reflections on confession, distress tolerance, spiritual distraction, and the joy hidden in Christ’s Passion, this conversation will help you rethink how you approach Lent this year. We also discuss: Avoiding “Lenten overload” from too many online programs The danger of constant digital stimulation (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, etc.) The healing power of Jesus’ wounds The joy behind the Cross How to let God love you this Lent Featuring reflections inspired by: G.K. Chesterton Orthodoxy Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity Avengers: Infinity War Avengers: Endgame Shroud of Turin Whether you're giving something up or adding a spiritual practice, this episode will help you focus on what truly matters: moving from selfishness to sacrificial love. 🙏 Like, subscribe, and share with someone preparing for Lent. 00:00 Ash Wednesday… and Cheeseburgers? 🍔 00:45 Welcome to Franciscan Fridays 01:03 The Meaning of Lent: 40 Days in the Desert 01:30 Prayer, Fasting & Almsgiving Explained 02:18 Too Many Lenten Programs? 03:00 Why We Start Strong (and Quit by Week 3) 04:05 Technology, Attention Spans & Artificial “ADHD” 05:25 Learning to Sit with Boredom 06:11 Distress Tolerance & Small Sacrifices 07:20 Pope’s Lenten Letter & Listening to God 08:03 Is Almsgiving the Forgotten Lenten Practice? 08:26 A Powerful Lent in the Bronx (Personal Story) 10:06 Let the Holy Spirit Lead Your Lent 11:10 Don’t Just Give Something Up — Add Something 12:19 The Devil Attacks Our Identity as Beloved Children 13:16 “Let Yourself Be Loved” – A Lenten Program 14:22 Confession: From Shame to Joy 16:23 Shrine Lenten Events & Sorrowful Mysteries 17:41 The Joy Hidden in Christ’s Passion 19:24 Marvel Movies & the Resurrection (Infinity War / Endgame) 20:14 Victory Over Sin and Death 20:27 Final Encouragement for Lent The World Apostolate of Fatima is the Vatican’s official voice in proclaiming the authentic message of Our Lady of Fatima.
