Lent is often seen as a season of struggle, but it is truly a season of renewal. The Lenten Spring by Fr. Thomas Hopko is a beautiful companion for this journey, offering short yet powerful reflections rooted in scripture, the Church Fathers, and the hymns of Great Lent. Through these meditations, we are invited to embrace fasting, repentance, and prayer not as burdens, but as a return to the joy of life in Christ.

Fr. Thomas reminds us: “Let us enter the Fast with joy!” Lent is not just about giving things up—it’s about drawing closer to Christ.
