Resources: Seasonal Programs
With these resources, the JPIC Office and Directorate hope to provide a few ways for Holy Name Province ministries and others to deepen their experiences of the Holy Seasons of Lent and Advent in the living out of the Franciscan commitment to JPIC efforts.
Lent
As we move through the 40 days leading to Christ's joyful resurrection, we have the opportunity to walk the path of ecological conversion.

A new program, Lent 4.5-Christian Simplicity, affords us another meaningful way to experience Lent. Imagine the earth divided equally among all of us. Each person would receive 4.5 acres. Now imagine that everything you need — food, energy, home, clothing, appliances, gadgets — must come from those 4.5 acres. But it takes 22.3 acres to maintain the average American life-style. Lent 4.5 is a seven-week program that informs and inspires Christian communities on how to use prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to care for God's creation. It offers practical opportunities for people to apply church teaching on Gospel simplicity to their everyday lives. For more information, visit http://www.lent45.org. For your convenience, a brief program description and a promotional brochure/order form are included below:

Advent
As we prayerfully wait for the coming of Christ, of Peace made Flesh, we can do our part to promote peace-filled living in our world.
