Jesus, Keep Me Near The Cross

47 days
Plan Overview

Lent is the season of repentance leading up to Easter in which the Church draws near to the cross of Christ, resting in the shadow of His sacrifice, glory and forgiveness. In this 47-day reading plan, we will engage in three phases of reading and prayer together: We will Return, kneeling daily at the cross of our Lord. We will Repent, mourning the depth of our sin. And we will Remember, tracing the path of Christ's journey to the Cross. May we grieve our sin, and may we lock our gaze on Jesus, the One who rescues us from death and despair!
