Story 1 - Preview As Lent begins, this opening video parable reflects on the quiet power of hidden goodness. Rooted in Jesus’ call to give without seeking recognition, it invites us to look beyond outward limitations and embrace movements of the heart. This first story sets the tone for a Lenten journey marked not by show, but by meaning.

40 Inspiring Video Parables for Lent

This year, Fr. Michael is joined by dynamic storytellers Betsey Beckman, ValLimar Jansen and Dev Kennedy to deliver 40 brand-new video parables, arriving daily in your inbox throughout Lent.

Written by Fr. Michael’s brother Tom, each reflection opens with a passage from the day’s Scripture and unfolds into a contemporary parable that brings the Word to life. Each video concludes with a takeaway lesson and a thoughtful question, to strengthen your journey through the Lenten desert.

Invite friends, family or community

More than a dozen parishes have been invited to participate in this latest season of our popular (and free!) Lenten video series. Please share this message with your friends, family or Parish leadership and invite them into the Lenten journey with us.

The simplest way to join is to visit htoh.us/lent and sign up to receive each daily video by email. That's it.

Videos will also be accessible directly on our Heart to Heart YouTube channel, our Faith Seasons podcast or on our homepage www.htoh.us, but email subscription is the most reliable (unless Google starts blocking their own links as happened during Advent (please say a prayer all is fixed!)).

Marketing Questions

If you have questions about how to bring this series to your Parish or community group, please email Teresa Larson at teresa@htoh.us.
