Summary
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM In this Ash Wednesday episode, we enter into Eternal Christendom's traditional Lenten "hiddenness" in which we do audio-only episodes, reading and reflecting on Lenten sermons by the Church Fathers each week until we attain the joy of the Lord's Resurrection. This Lent, we will read the sermons of St. Pope Leo the Great (c. 391-461), a great Saint, Church Father, Doctor of the Church, and Pope. Our first reading will be Sermon 48, delivered on March 13, 455. It is full of insights about our Catholic Faith, as well as refutations of various heresies and errors that are popular in our day. He compares our Lenten preparation for the joy of the "Pascal Feast" (Easter) with cleansing the "temples" of our soul. May we sacrifice greatly for love of Christ this Lent, rightly preparing the temples of our souls! You can purchase the CUA volume we read from here .
