Preparing Our Hearts for Lent with Fr. Timothy Eck

Join us on the Catholic Hawk Podcast as we welcome Fr. Timothy Eck, Director of the Office of Worship for the Diocese of Metuchen, to explore the heart of Lent — the Church’s 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that prepares us for the joy of Easter. Lent invites every Catholic to a deeper conversion of heart, to seek the Lord in prayer, serve others with generosity, and practice self-discipline in our daily lives. We’ll reflect on what these ancient Lenten practices look like in today’s world and how they can transform our spiritual journey toward the Resurrection.
