Ash Wednesday Evening 2024 Our heart should remain forever in the chapel with Our Lord. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are the great practices of Lent.

Sexagesima Sunday 2024 St. Gregory tells us that this Gospel needs no explanation, because Our Lord explained it Himself. We must ask ourselves, are we the “good ground” or are we the “bad ground”?
