Lent, Season of Transformation

During Lent, we strive to free ourselves from all kinds of clutter-material and spiritual-in order to focus on God and turn back to him with our whole hearts. If this "turning back" is genuine, it will be a reorientation, a transformation. To help us enter into this season, Amy Ekeh guides readers in exploring three key moments in the life and ministry of Jesus. The result will be a better understanding of the authentic transformation that God calls each of us to embrace as individuals and as a community and a renewed desire to live God's own outward-looking, self-emptying, laying-down-one's-life kind of love.

Amy Ekeh is the director of Mission Advancement for the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and an adjunct professor of New Testament at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. She previously served as the Director of Little Rock Scripture Study at Liturgical Press. She contributes to a variety of Catholic publications, including The Bible Today, Give Us This Day, St. Anthony Messenger, and U.S. Catholic. Ekeh is the author of several books, including Stretch Out Your Hand: Reflections on the Healing Ministry of Jesus, and Come to Me, All of You: Stations of the Cross in the Voice of Christ published by Liturgical Press.
