This retreat invites you to walk through the season of Lent alongside Christ by praying with the Gospel of Matthew. Each day’s reflection is grounded in the Lectionary and the life of Jesus, guiding you to spend intentional time with Scripture and to encounter God more deeply in your everyday life.
The retreat uses the Ignatian tradition of prayer to support you in seeing what Jesus sees, loving as he loves, and responding more fully to the call of discipleship. The reflections are offered in a simple, accessible format that can be prayed at your own pace, whether you are familiar with Ignatian prayer or exploring it for the first time.
Through Lent with St Matthew is suitable for anyone seeking a meaningful way to observe Lent and deepen their prayer life. The Jesuit-run Ignatian Spirituality Centre in Glasgow offers this retreat as part of its ongoing programme of spiritual formation and prayer resources.
