CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
For this fifth week of Lent, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 43, delivered on February 25, 445, 1,581 years ago! Once more, this great Pope and Church Father presents us with powerful Lenten themes of sacrifice and penance being the marks of true Christians. Lent is indeed the "bootcamp" for Christian soldiers, and the "training field" for Christian athletes.
