Lenten Scripture Challenge by EWTN
EWTN is launching a brand new app to help you prepare for Lent –
and it’s available now! If you download our free app and take our “Daily Lenten
Scripture Reading Challenge,” at the end of Lent, you will able to say that you
read all four Gospels! It’s easier than you think!
You can download EWTN’s free app at www.ewtnapps.com/challenge
or get it directly from iTunes, Google Play or Amazon apps for Kindle
Fire. If you already have the EWTN app, the Scripture Challenge is included with
the update.
To access the Challenge, simply open the app and click on the Bible
icon, which will take you to your free RSV-CE Bible. From inside the Bible,
click or tap on the menu (the three white bars on the top left hand corner of
the screen), and from the resulting drop down menu, choose “Playlists” and then
“The Four Gospels During Lent” to begin your Challenge.
In addition to the daily reading challenge, we’ve included a free
audio version of the Gospel of Mark, which is read by world-renowned actors and
contains realistic sound effects! (To find it, go to the menu, as above, click
on “contents,” then “New Testament,” and then “Mark”, where you will be able to
click on “download.") If you choose, you can purchase audio for the entire Bible
for $19.99. This will not only enhance your experience, but help support your
favorite Network!
Note: If this is your first time inside the EWTN app, don’t miss
all the other great features. With this one app, you will be able to watch
what’s on EWTN anywhere in the world, view all our program schedules,
enjoy video or audio on demand, and stay up-to-date with EWTN
News.
Insider secret! By the way, look for another new app featuring
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, coming soon! EWTN traveled to the New York office of
Cardinal Dolan to tape a series of one-minute reflections, which will air on the
Network every day during Lent. You do not want to miss these fabulous bits of
inspiration and encouragement – and, with our soon-to-be-released app – “EWTN
Daily Lenten Reflections with Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan” – you will be able to
get them directly on your iOS or Android device! You’ll even get a reminder to
watch them! Keep checking EWTN’s home page, www.ewtn.com, for the
announcement!
These are just two more (free!) ways EWTN is planning to help make
2014 your best Lent ever! Please spread the word!

New Lenten Book by Father Paul Jerome Keller
Popular Dominican priest Paul Jerome Keller offers a new book to guide readers through Lent: A Lenten Journey with Jesus Christ and St. Thomas Aquinas.
Father Keller gives a short biography of St. Thomas Aquinas, a brief history of the Order of Preachers and St. Thomas Aquinas’s wisdom on prayer and Lent, in addition to the daily Gospel readings, reflections and prayers to guide the reader through this special season.
“The invitation to contemplate God comes to each one of us daily, in a multiplicity of ways. Yet, Lent is set aside by the Church as a privileged season. It is a time to open ourselves to the deeper workings of divine grace. God awaits our answer to his invitation, our assent, as we pour over these passage from St. Thomas Aquinas.” -- from A Lenten Journey with Jesus Christ and St. Thomas Aquinas
Father Keller was ordained to the priesthood in 1993. He acquired a Bachelor and Licentiate in Sacred Theology at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., and a Doctorate with a specialization in sacramental theology at Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. He is currently an assistant professor of sacramental theology at Mount St. Mary’s of the West Seminary in Cincinnati. Father Keller has made appearances on Relevant Radio, Sirius Radio’s Catholic Channel, Vatican Radio, and Catholic Answers Live. He is also the author of 101 Questions & Answers on the Sacraments of Healing: Penance and Anointing.
