Episode # 580 - Feast of St. Jerome Emiliani

Father Antony, Cristina, and Tony are on the program today. We talk about John Paul II elected to the papacy at 58 with Father Anthony reflecting that as he approaches 58 he can use the Pope as an example that much can done at that age. Next week, Lent begins. We reflect on a society that has is so dispairing that for example that in Russia for every 10 births, there are 13 abortions. We talk about Lenten fasting. The keys to Lent are prayer, fasting and alms giving to reauthenticate our faith and bring us closer to Christ. We invite you to prayer and confession here at Saint Stans for Lent. Father Anthony talks about the sacred institution of marriage as being a union of a man and a woman as he reflects on this morning's reading of St. Paul to the Hebrews. We reflect on the world's hostility to Christ. We need to rediscover Him.
