| For many Catholics, Lent is primarily a time to give up something or to engage in more good works. While not denying that these can be meaningful, author and theologian Tim Muldoon believes that Lent is ultimately about internal change—that is, realigning our wills with God’s will by taking on the heart and mind of Christ. Join Muldoon for a webinar in which he’ll demonstrate how a daily conversation with God, inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, can remove obstacles to grace and lead us to a deeper love for God and the world. Removing Obstacles to Grace This Lent A Webinar with Tim Muldoon Monday, March 3, 2025 2:00–3:00 p.m. central (UK time 8-9pm Reserve my seat. > This webinar will be recorded.
