Happy March, friend. 🌿 We’re in the heart of Lent now, a season that gently invites us to slow down, return to the Lord, and journey with Him. However your Lent has begun, whether it started strong, messy, quiet, or unexpected, it’s not too late to lean in. Here are a few ways we’re continuing the journey together this month: Who Do You Say That I Am? 🌿 Our 2026 Lent devotional, Who Do You Say That I Am? by Debbie Herbeck, is still available and you can download the digital version to start right away!  Through the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus, this devotional helps us encounter His heart in a personal and powerful way. With warmth and clarity, Debbie invites us to see Christ more clearly and receive His love more deeply this Lent. The Gathering Place Podcast 🎧 All throughout Lent, we’re meeting you right where you are through The Gathering Place. Each episode is a space to pause, pray, and reflect together as we walk through this sacred season. You can tune in all Lent long on the Blessed Is She YouTube channel. Whether you listen during your morning coffee, school pickup line, or evening wind-down, we’d love for you to join us there. The BIS Catholic Journaling Bible 📖 Our BIS Single-Column Journaling Bible has been such a gift to share with you and it’s a beautiful companion for Lent. Designed with a soft suede-like cover, original artwork by Susanna April, and generous margins for prayer and reflection, it creates space to truly linger with Scripture. Lent is a season of drawing near, and this Bible was prayerfully created to help you do just that: to read slowly, pray honestly, and meet the Lord in His Word. If you’ve been longing for a fresh way to engage Scripture this season, it’s waiting for you in the shop.

May He reveal His heart to you in prayer, in Scripture, and in the small sacrifices offered with love. We’re so grateful to walk this season with you, sister. We’re praying for you. 🤍
