2021 Lent - Saturday, March 27 - Prayer Before The Crucifix

Imagine yourself in front of the crucifix.  Look up and see our loving Jesus.  How can we not be moved by the pain and deep love of the seeing our gentle Jesus.  Faith, Hope and Charity.  Pray for true contrition of our sins.  Look up at Jesus and see the nails in His hands and feet.  How can we not be moved.  Let our crucified Lord Jesus draw you into the depths of His love on the cross.  Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever.  Amen.

2021 Lent - Friday, March 26 - "Compassionate" For Your Savior

One of the best ways is to pray includes the Stations of the Cross which helps us understand the amount of love God has for each of us.  All the while we go through the stations we can meditate on each and "compassionate" for your savior.  So as we walk through the stations with Him we suffer with Him.  We should feel our suffering for our sins and our saying no to Him.  Our faith is not built on our feelings... but emotions can be a good thing if directed by faith and true love.

2021 Lent - Thursday, March 25 - Annunciation

The Annunciation is a celebration.  Listen to this episode to hear how Jesus picked up His cross on this day and carried it all the way to Calvary.  He was brought into the world to die on the cross for our sins. He suffered on this earth but continued to carry His cross. Pick up your cross and carry it even with all the suffering.

2021 Lent - Wednesday, March 24 - Freedom From Sin

It is very easy to be a slave to sin.  Penance can help us develop virtues which will help us in self discipline.  The first step is choosing to be free. It is so hard to choose to give up sin.  If the Son frees you then you will truly be free.  We must choose to accept the grace He pours out to us.  If we can open our will even the slightest bit, the grace pours out.  Walk away from temptation and be truly free in Christ.  Listen to this episode to hear more about true freedom from sin.
