He said to them, “Come and see.”

They came and saw where he was staying and remained with him that day. – John 1:39

“Jesus, Friend of My Soul” is a 24-hour silent Lenten retreat. “Come and see” what awaits you.

Reflect on the qualities of our day-to-day friend and teacher, Jesus. Ponder how to model these characteristics of Jesus’ life in your own life.
