The Fourth Sunday of Lent
We have explored the biblical themes of sin, fasting, and prayer through the lens of Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. Recalling Jesus’ confrontation with Satan in the desert, we remember that spiritual disciplines are not merely rituals; they train and equip us for spiritual battle with sin and the forces of evil. In the middle of Lent, we may grow weary and weak, but we cannot afford to lose focus. Today, pray through the full armour of God, asking God to strengthen you to stand firm against the devil’s schemes.

About this Plan
Africans throughout history have shaped Christian thought and contemplative practice. Starting Ash Wednesday, explore the Lenten themes of prayer, fasting, repentance, and alms-giving. Sojourn with Jesus’ disciples from his baptism to Holy Week. Abide with him in temptation. Hear the crowd shout—celebrating, then condemning. Watch Simon of Cyrene carry the cross. Witness the crucifixion with Mary. Join a biblical pilgrimage to prepare your heart for Jesus’ passion and resurrection.
