The Lenten Meditations 2021
by Tara Ludwig

The Lenten Meditations are an annual habit of the Faber Institute, offered in support of expanding and deepening your spiritual practice during the season of Lent. Traditionally offered in a written form, this year The Lenten Meditations have been reimagined as audio meditations composed and presented by Tara Ludwig of the Institute.

The core of these Meditations concern six Friends of Jesus, who, each in turn, were to Jesus a significant comfort and strength during His passion. On each of the six Sunday mornings of Lent, you will receive an invitation to meet with one of these Friends, via an e-mail link that will lead you to that week’s audio meditation.

May the companionship of the Friends be a blessing to you, as it was to Jesus, as you prepare yourself to receive the miracle of Easter.
