Dear Sisters and Partners,
Warm greetings to each of you as we enter the sacred season of Lent.
It is with joy that we share with you the Lenten Reflection prepared through a collaborative effort of the Communications Office, Good Shepherd International Justice and Peace (GSIJP), and the Congregational Formation Office (CFO). This reflection has emerged from prayer, dialogue, and shared discernment, expressing our common desire to journey more deeply together in this season of grace.
This Lenten journey invites us to walk with our spiritual family, allowing our hearts to be shaped through prayer, mindfulness, and reflection, and gradually leading us from interior conversion to compassionate action and renewed mission. Each week draws inspiration from our charism and witnesses, guiding us gently toward Holy Week and the joy of Resurrection.
How to use this Lenten Reflection:
- The reflection is designed for daily personal prayer, with a short reflection and a simple mindful practice for each day.
- This resource may be used communally in small groups, communities, formation settings, or prayer gatherings, with the daily reflection shared and time set aside for silence or brief sharing.
- We encourage you to journey with the reflections at your own pace, allowing what resonates to deepen prayer and daily living, rather than trying to “complete” everything.
May this resource accompany your Lenten journey, helping you to pause, listen, and respond faithfully to God, to one another, and to the cries of the world.

Our prayers for a grace-filled Lent,
Congregational Formation Office (CFO), Good Shepherd International Justice and Peace (GSIJP), Communications Office
