[Exton, PA, February 20, 2025—]

Nationally beloved Catholic priest and best-selling author will guide Catholics through strategies for overcoming the “seven deadly sins,” trusting in God’s mercy, and having a transformative experience with the sacrament of Confession this Lent.

This Lent, the ancient Catholic list of “seven deadly sins” gets a fresh look on the Ascension App.

“This Lent, we want to go deeper in Confession, and deeper into experiencing God’s mercy,” explains Set Free host, Fr. Josh Johnson.

This Lent, Fr. Josh will offer daily video reflections in the Ascension App as part of the program Set Free: Daily Lenten Reflections to Overcome the Seven Deadly Sins. Participants will learn how the seven deadly sins underlie every other sin they struggle with, and discover strategies to overcome and root out each of the deadly sins at its source.

Set Free builds upon Fr. Josh’s new book, Pocket Guide to Overcoming the Seven Deadly Sins, also published by Ascension. Fr. Josh echoes the Church Fathers in encouraging Catholics to seek the root cause of sins. The book uses Fr. Josh’s exclusive “3 R’s” method to explore:

What each of the seven deadly sins are
How to identify if one struggles with a type of sin
How to strengthen the fight against sin through prayer
Reflection questions to help readers understand the sin’s effects
A daily examination of conscience to help readers evaluate wins and growth areas.
