Taking Stock of Lament, and Hope: A Guided Examen "Pit Stop" for Lent 2026
This Lent, join us for a respite from the noise around us.
Tuesday, March 10
7:30-8:00pm ET
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest..." (Matthew 11:28).
Our world today is groaning. Violence near and far, not to mention the more personal aches that come with being human, make this year's Lenten season feel particularly heavy. Are you longing for a rest, a reflective space where we might each take stock not only of our laments but also our hopes? Would you like to prayerfully shine light on the love you see manifest, even in hard times, or simply invite God to be with you and-- all those supportively gathered online-- in the stillness of a half hour?
If so, please join us for a guided Ignatian Examen, written and led by Kate André. Give yourself the gift of a mid-Lenten pit stop so we can all find the nourishment we need for the road to Easter.
This event is offered by IYAM but open to all ages. Register below.
