The Catholic Church in Germany has launched a Lenten outreach effort by which Biblical passages will be sent via cell phone text messaging to help the faithful prepare for Easter.
The plan, developed by the Bishops’ Conference of Germany, the Catholic radio station “Domradio,” and the Katholische Fernseharbeit television producer, consists of sending text messages to cell phone users from March 1-16.
