As we journey together through the solemn days of Lent, the Alliance for Catholic Education and ThinkND invite you to join us as we walk toward the light that our faith tells us lies ahead.

Join us for Grace Period, a weekly series of audio reflections by Fr. Lou DelFra, C.S.C. ’92, M. Div. ’03, designed to meet your busy schedule and help you pause, listen for God’s voice in your life, and begin anew.

Fr. Lou exchanges Noah’s ark for a fishing boat and the New Testament story of Jesus and the disciples in the storm.

Just as the disciples were overcome with fear in the middle of the storm, we too have shouldered fear and uncertainty in our times.

This week, take some time to reflect on the role that fear has played in your life this year. Then allow yourself to be taken in by Christ’s response to the disciples: “Do not be afraid, I am here with you,” and continue to live in hope.
