    40 Days Meditations 2026: Opening Week - February 18 to 21

    In this episode of Words From the Brothers, we enter the Lenten journey with the prophetic call from Joel: “Return to me with all your heart.” Reflecting on Scripture from Joel and the opening chapters of James, this meditation invites us to focus not on external observances alone, but on the interior work of conversion—rendering our hearts rather than our garments. Through themes of humility, care for the poor, and guarding our speech, we are reminded that Lent is a season of responding to God’s steadfast love with lives shaped by mercy, integrity, and joy. Even amid trial and discipline, we are invited to return to the Lord with confidence, trusting in his generosity and grace as he forms us more fully in love. The entire list of this year's readings can be found at 40 Days 2026 Readings & Podcast.

Drawing from Jewish Sabbath tradition, early community life, and decades of lived experience, Rabbi Kinzer reflects on faith, identity, joy, and how worship in the home can renew the life of the Church today.
