Crux is a system for doing Lent well.
Starting Ash Wednesday, you'll learn to surrender to God through the adoption of four daily challenges:
Lent often feels liks a challenge, a time to "give up" something that we like as a form of penance, but this season calls us to more. Instead of just focusing on something to "give up," we have a beautiful opportuity to find ways to draw closer to God in the spirit of obedience, trust, and genuine surrender.One way we are doing this is by participating in Ascension’s new Lenten program, Crux, with Fr. Columba Jordan, CFR.
Crux: Daily Lenten Meditations is a daily devotional book and weekly videos that help you build a habit of Scripture reading and prayer, keeping your eyes fixed on your Lenten goals and reminding you of your true identity in Christ. The devotional encourages physical and spiritual disciplines, finding ways to challenge ourselves.
