What Are You Doing for Lent?
It’s a question we ask ourselves every year, and we know it can be a hard one to answer. We want to do something more meaningful than just giving up chocolate, but where do we start?
There are so many beautiful devotions, so much good spiritual reading, so many Good Catholic series, so many videos and books. How do I decide which is best for me?
And then there’s the worry about whether we’ll persevere. Do I just need general goals? Or do I need a weekly plan? Should I have a daily plan?
Here at Good Catholic, we know it can be overwhelming. So we’ve pulled together the best resources we’ve got to give YOU a simple, daily Lenten devotional delivered straight to your inbox.
A Map for Each Day of the Journey
Modeled after our bestselling Journey to Christmas series, our new Lenten devotional, Journey to Easter, gives you the same daily inspiration you loved in our Advent program. It’s the step-by-step plan you need for the Lent you’ve always wanted.
Here’s how it works: Each morning, you’ll receive an email with a combination of Scripture, prayers, and reflections designed to lead you fruitfully through each day of Lent. We’ll give you weekly goals based on the Church’s traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Drawing from our best Good Catholic series—including A Holy Lent, Thy Will Be Done, The Life of Christ, and Angels & the Supernatural—and featuring your favorite Good Catholic contributors—including Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, Fr. David Miller, Fr. Ken Geraci, and Fr. Matthew Kauth—we’ll provide you with video reflections that you can watch and absorb at your own pace.
You’ll enjoy the simplicity of having your Lenten devotions all in one place, right in your inbox, at the beginning of your day, every day. And it’s flexible: you can choose which devotions and resources you’d like to do.
What is included in each email?
Here’s a more in-depth look at exactly what you’ll get in each daily email:
- A beautiful piece of sacred art related to that week’s theme
- The Sunday Gospel reading, with different passages highlighted for your reflection each day
- A video reflection (Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) or a written reflection (Tuesdays and Thursdays)—all drawn from your favorite Good Catholic series
- Your prayer, fasting, and almsgiving goals for that week (these will change each week)
- Wisdom from a saint
- Video Stations of the Cross that you can pray with the Good Catholic team
Does the daily email include everything I need?
Yes. The only thing to note is that the videos will link out to our website, so make sure you’re logged into your account or you’ll end up at the purchase page wondering why you’re being asked to purchase again. If you lose an email or want to access the content via the website at any time, just go to My Account and then My Series (located in the left-side menu under “Dashboard”) to access all the series you’re subscribed to.

Father Ken Geraci, CPM
Fr. Ken Geraci, CPM lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a typical 1980s Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Church. He spent years focused on money, fitness, and success. Very successful in business, he made little room for God—but God did not give up on him. During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to reconsider his beliefs and answer the question “What is Truth?” Through years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity and ultimately, back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. For two years he served as an associate pastor of a medium-sized parish and currently serves as a Missionary, webmaster, and vocation director for the Fathers of Mercy. Fr. Ken has a deep understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face when wrestling with their faith. He has much experience with apologetics, having spoken to people coming from all stages of the journey—including those who love Christ as well as those who “hate coming to church.” Fr. Ken was the video host for the Good Catholic series We Believe.
