Episode # 5333 - Looking Closer At Lent

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and Mary being away on business, but doing okay and healthy too, this is a re-air from March 2nd.  Thank you and stay healthy and stay safe.  

Mary FioRito returns to us loyal listeners and during the first full week of Lent which started up last week.  Today, Mary is joined by Brother Joseph Trout from Fenwick High School in Oak Park, IL and today, they discuss the topic of Lent.  Since he works at a high school, they also discuss the differences in the generations of when they went to high school and how kids (including Mary’s daughters) are in high school today, being surrounded be so many things such as social media, which in turn goes into looking at the pressures parents feel with that. Along the lines of Lent, Mary and Brother Joe discuss the book: Growing Friendship with God: Discovering the Joy of Lent, by Andrew Carl Wisdom O.P. and it could be considered a companion book to Lent.  Mary expresses some of the things she doesn’t like about Lent too.  For more information on Mary, Brother Joseph Trout and the book Growing Friendship with God: Discovering the Joy of Lent, visit online at:
