Fr. Josh Johnson

"SET FREE"

Daily Lenten Reflections to Overcome the Seven Deadly Sins

This Lent, Fr. Josh will offer daily video reflections in the Ascension App as part of the program Set Free: Daily Lenten Reflections to Overcome the Seven Deadly Sins.

Participants will learn how the seven deadly sins underlie every other sin they struggle with, and discover strategies to overcome and root out each of the deadly sins at its source.

The Catechism identifies the seven deadly sins as wrath, sloth, gluttony, lust, greed, envy, and pride.

These vices are “deadly” because they are the fountainheads from which all the other sins in our lives originate. This action plan will help you learn the seven deadly sins—what they are and the different ways they appear in our life and why we keep confessing the same habitual sins.

This action plan will help you learn the seven deadly sins—what they are and how they appear in our lives.

It will prepare you for Lent by outlining specific fasts you can use to combat each one of the sins and grow in discipline and trust in God.



Finally, it will show you how to pray with scripture and surrender your sin to God.

It ends with a powerful, step-by-step examination of conscience, which will help you have a deeper and truly profound experience of the sacrament of confession.

How It Works

Step 1: Download and subscribe to the Ascension app

Step 2: Watch the current and previous days' reflections.

There is a charge of $9 a month. But you can avail of the offer of 90 days free trial .
