EXTON, Penn., Feb. 18, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- Speaking from the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., surrounded by Biblical artifacts and life-size replicas of ancient Jewish dwellings, renowned Scripture scholars Jeff Cavins, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, and Dr. Edward Sri have a message of hope for all believers this Lent: "You Are Not Alone."

For Catholics like Cavins, D'Ambrosio, and Sri, Ash Wednesday on February 17 marked a painful anniversary: a full liturgical year impacted by the pandemic, featuring previously-unimaginable Church closures and restrictions on access to prayer and sacraments.

In the face of such challenges, Cavins, D’Ambrosio, and Sri proclaim a bold message of God's faithfulness in "You Are Not Alone: Biblical Wisdom for Troubling Times." Pulling examples from the Bible, they offer reflections on how to respond to suffering with courage, faithfulness, and spiritual joy.

As presenter Jeff Cavins explains, "We're all wondering if life will ever be like it used to be. But as believers we know, we are not alone. God is with us. And we can look to the Scriptures for examples of how to walk with God through difficult times and into the freedom God wants for us."

A NEW OFFERING FROM THE LEADER IN CATHOLIC FAITH FORMATION

"You Are Not Alone: Biblical Wisdom for Troubling Times" is a new venture for Ascension, the leader in Catholic faith formation. The company is renowned both for its popular YouTube videos as well as for its award-winning Bible Studies, but never before has Ascension offered a video special designed particularly for "movie night" style viewing at home or in community. "You Are Not Alone" can be viewed as three 30-minute sessions, or as one complete 90-minute experience.

You Are Not Alone is available for purchase for $19.95 on Ascension's website, and is streamed through the company's "Thinkific" video platform.

Fans looking for more from Cavins, D'Ambrosio, and Sri should explore their 2020 blockbuster Bible study Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life, filmed on-site in the Holy Land, which became one of the best-selling Catholic Bible studies in the nation despite the coronavirus pandemic.
