Lent Devotional Guide: https://www.stanthonystongue.com/products/p/pdf-a-lenten-devotional-guide
Lent is not a performance review. It is not a spiritual productivity challenge. It is the Church leading exhausted people back into the desert, not to crush them, but to strip away the false god of competence and return them to love.In this video, I offer a Lenten guide inspired by the Catholic mystics for those who are tired, burned out, scrupulous, or spiritually numb. We talk about how Lent becomes distorted into proof, how devotion becomes consumption, why rest feels irresponsible to the anxious soul, and how the mystics practiced penance without turning God into an HR manager.This is a Lent for people who still want God, but are tired of trying to earn Him. A Lent for those who want repentance without self-hatred, silence without shame, and prayer without spiritual grinding. We look at practical ways to enter Lent with a mystical posture, rooted in Scripture, the tradition, and the lives of the saints.
