St. Augustine's 1,600 Year Old Sermon for the Beginning of Lent (Sermon 205) | Ep. 15

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

On this Ash Wednesday, in the humbling and penitential spirit of Lent, we are publishing our first audio-only episode.

Thanks to the Catholic University of America Press, who has given Eternal Christendom permission to read from their "Fathers of the Church" series for our podcast, we are going to read Sermon 205, delivered by St. Augustine at the beginning of Lent approximately 1,600 years ago. We will then offer some reflections on both the sermon, and an exhortation to a sacrificial Lent amidst the very dark and chaotic times in which we live.

Let us offer great sacrifices during this season in which we most actively join ourselves to the sacrifice of Our Lord on the cross.
