Today we begin our lenten season with Ash Wednesday, and the first episode of Season 6 of this podcast. This is also the first season of the podcast that is presented in a video format.
During these 40 days of Lent, which includes prescribed fasting, prayer, and repentance, we are truly given an opportunity to turn our hearts more fully to the Lord.
My goal is to provide a new approach to praying more deeply with the psalms, antiphons, and other scriptures each Sunday. Each one of us is called to truly explore and meditate on the sacred scriptures so that be can become more like Christ, and realize the best version of ourselves.
Entrance Antiphon
"You are merciful to all, O Lord,
and despise nothing that you have made.
You overlook people’s sins, to bring them to repentance,
and you spare them, for you are the Lord our God"
(Wisdom 11:24, 25, 27)
Psalm 51
"Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned."
Gospel Acclamation
"If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts."
(Psalm 95:8)
Communion Antiphon
"He who ponders the law of the Lord day and night
will yield fruit in due season."
(Psalm 1:2-3)
