Cana 40

REGISTER Now to for the 6 Week Matrimonial Spirituality Webinar for Cana 40 Lent 2022

A Strengthening & Conditioning Program to Take Your Marriage From a Natural Marriage to a Supernatural Marriage With a Focus on Matrimonial Spirituality

Matrimonial Spirituality is something like the spiritualities of religious orders; Benedictine, Dominican, Franciscan, etc. Like these religious orders, Matrimonial Spirituality is a method to grow in union with Our Lord. What is different is that it is also a method to grow in union with our spouse

as we help each other get to Heaven.

Cana 40 is a 40-day program for couples, most often undertaken during Lent or Advent, but can be done anytime. Its purpose is as it says, strengthening and conditioning your marriage while growing in Matrimonial Spirituality. This is a program similar to the popular Exodus 90, but specifically for married couples. It aids couples in focusing on improvement in their spiritual life as individuals and as a couple as well as their communication with God and with each other.

Cana 40 for Lent 2022

Strengthening & Conditioning for Your Marriage

For 40 days add the following Spiritual additions to your life:

Accountability to one another - 1/week visit with each other for a minimum of 30 minutes sharing how Cana 40 is going and any benefits that you have seen.
Weekly Focus - Monday night Webinar (register here: REGISTER)
Daily Focus - At the end of the day do an examination of your day to review how you did on your weekly goal that day.
Confession at least once during the 40 days
Daily Rosary - This is discussed in the Webinar (register here: REGISTER)

For 40 days: fast, abstain, & almsgiving

On Wednesdays and Fridays abstain from meat while also fasting for the spiritual needs of your spouse (2 small meals that when combined do not equal the 3rd meal.)
- Options:
  - No fasting, just abstinence from meat on Wednesday and Friday
  - Fast only on Friday as well as abstain from meat on Wednesday and Friday
No useless surfing on computer or phone (Work and school needs only) [Read a book together, work on a puzzle together or play a game with the family]
No tv/movies/sports except on Sundays, unless it aids in your spiritual growth or knowledge of your faith.
Choose someone to whom you will give a little extra money. Almsgiving isn't giving what is easy to give. Give a little more during Lent than you normally would causing you to have to spend a little less somewhere else.

You can do this! And you'll be so glad that you did!! We are in a time like no other in history that couples must strengthen and condition their marriages to stay the course to Heaven and to grow along the way!

You got this!

Benedicite!
