Lenten Reflections

For more than a decade, Jesuit Prayer online has provided hundreds of thousands of people with daily Ignatian reflections and prayer. Whether by email, the app, or the website, readers receive a short reflection on one of the daily Scripture readings written by a Jesuit or lay colleague. You can read more about Jesuit Prayer on page 30.
This booklet features a collection of these reflections on the daily Lenten readings. The reflections are timeless. Some are more than ten years old, while others were published just last year. All remain relevant today. The Lenten themes, and the invitation to engage in the Gospel stories in a meaningful way, can continue to resonate with each of us.

David Inczauskis, SJ

David was born in Hinsdale, Illinois, and raised in Homer Glen, Illinois. A graduate of Wake Forest University, he met the Jesuits while studying liberation theology at Oxford University and joined the Society after graduation in 2014. 

As a Jesuit, David has been particularly active in academics: studying or working at a university every year since taking first vows in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2016. He published two books in Spanish, one in 2019 on Honduran theater and one in 2022 on Honduran cinema. His current research as a doctoral student in philosophy at Loyola University Chicago focuses on critical phenomenology and Latin American liberation philosophy. Also at Loyola Chicago, he serves as chaplain to the men’s volleyball team and to the Spanglish Christian life community. Off campus, he works as a community organizer with the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership.

After ordination, David will continue as a doctoral student in philosophy at Loyola University Chicago.
