The motive is clear: persevere to end of this holy 972-219-0754, [email protected] season.

LittleApostlesPreschool.org After today (Quinquagesima or “50 days”), we look forward to Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Maybe those Sundays with those long-exotic names offer something we’ve been missing in the last few decades. Pulling them out again might help us to keep a more holy Lent. These days had Roman Stations, just like all the days of Lent it- self. In ancient times, the catechumens were taken to the Station Masses where they underwent Scrutinies so that they could fully under- stand the significance and seriousness of the commitment they were about to undertake as they made their Baptismal vows. We will our- selves be renewing precisely those same vows as we take part in the Resurrection at Easter.
