Friday After Ash Wednesday 2017 (First Friday)

The stational churches in Lent are important and the term has its origin in the Roman legion.  Today’s stational church has been matched with the texts of this Mass to teach us the importance of one of the three main Lenten penances: almsgiving.  This practice is ancient but misunderstood as to its nature, its proper motivation and correct manner of exercise.
