Make a Lenten offering that supports Word on Fire’s mission
Dear Friend,
It’s Holy Week and we have almost completed our forty days of Lent, nearly arriving at the finish line. We hope your Lenten season has proved fruitful! Now let’s focus on the upcoming events of this week so that we can enter deeply into these sacred days and make the most of them.
The Easter Triduum—Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday—is the heart of the Church’s liturgical year. In these three days, we walk with Christ from the Upper Room to Calvary to the empty tomb. The Church grows quiet and watchful. We are invited not simply to remember these events but to participate in them and to unite our lives, our sufferings, and our hopes to the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
On Spy Wednesday, we recall Judas’s betrayal: thirty pieces of silver in exchange for the Lord of glory. It is a sobering reminder of our own capacity to turn away from Christ. As we examine our hearts this week, we are invited to ask where we are called to deeper fidelity and how we can offer generous love in return.
Holy Thursday begins the sacred Triduum with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. We remember the institution of the Eucharist—Christ’s body and blood given for us—and his command to love through humble service, symbolized in the washing of feet.
If Word on Fire has helped you enter more deeply into the mysteries of our faith, especially during this Lenten season, would you consider making a Lenten offering today? Your generosity allows us to proclaim Christ to a world in need of clarity, beauty, and hope.

| MAKE A GIFT |
On Good Friday, we stand at the foot of the cross. It is a day of silence, fasting, and profound gratitude. What appears to be defeat becomes victory, and what looks like tragedy becomes redemption. In Christ’s suffering, we discover that no pain is meaningless when united to him. The cross reveals both the seriousness of sin and the even greater power of divine mercy.
Holy Saturday is a day of stillness and waiting. Christ lies in the tomb; the Church keeps vigil. Then, in the darkness of the Easter Vigil, a single flame pierces the night. The resurrection changes everything! Death is defeated, and hope is restored. The stone is rolled away not only from Christ’s tomb but from our hearts.
As we prepare to celebrate Easter Sunday, we pray that the joy of the resurrection fills your home and renews your faith. Thank you for walking with us this Lent. If you have not yet made a Lenten gift, there is still time to support Word on Fire’s mission of evangelization.
May you and your loved ones have a blessed and joyful Easter.
God bless you,
The Word on Fire Team
