The Mystery of Parenthood is a show on RED-C Catholic Radio, headquartered in College Station, Texas. On Tuesday, February 20, 2018, Trey Cashion offered his impressions of His Holiness, Pope Francis's, Lenten Message for 2018. The Holy Father keys off of Matthew 24:12, "Because of the increase of iniquity, the love of many will grow cold," which we have in turn chosen as the Memory Verse for this week. The Pope warns in his letter against listening to the "false prophets" of our time who "offer easy and immediate solutions" and "rob people of all that is most precious." He proposes instead that Catholics devote time to prayer that will "root out our secret lies and forms of self-deception." It is also critical that we respond with charity "in our daily encounters with those who beg for our assistance." This Lent take time to practice more often (or maybe for the first time) the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Finally, we should take fasting seriously and allow it to make us "more attentive to God and our neighbor." Enjoy the episode and take a moment to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. And remember to pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you!
