And also this is such an important lesson to learn even outside of dating in this whole issue that we're going through.

It is easier to drop out of that course that you're worried about flunking in college.

It is easier to not lift harder at the gym because it's painful.

Like whatever that might be in your life.

But as human beings, and I often have to remind myself of this, we only grow and get better and get stronger when we push through and overcome things, and also when we pray and develop a relationship with God and use Hallow.

Now Lent is not meant to be comfortable.

It is about cutting through the noise, dropping what weighs you down, and doing the work to become who God is calling you to be.

On Ash Wednesday, Hallow launched Lent Pray 40, The Return, which is a 40-day prayer journey to Easter featuring Jonathan Rumi, Mark Wahlberg, Father Mike Schmitz, my favorite, Sister Miriam James, Chris Pratt, and so many more.

It is centered on the parable of the prodigal son, and it reminds us that we are never too far gone.

You will find daily prayer and meditations, Friday facts, honest conversations, and powerful Sunday homilies.

So if you are done carrying the weight and you're ready to come home, pray 40, the return is waiting for you on Halo.
