Lent starts pretty soon. We're running out of time to prepare.
In the past, you could find a Traditional Lenten Mission at many Parishes. Now, unless you are near a Traditional Parish, they are nearly extinct -- or worthless.
Fortunately, we are not meant to live in the past, we are meant to live in the now. And, now, we have the Internet. And there is an abundance of good on the Internet, along with the bad.
As we do every year, we bring to your attention this wonderful, Traditional, Lenten awareness.
As the Season nears, you would do well to give it some thought.
Pray and to use the time to prepare for a fruitful Lent -- and be ready for it to change you for the better.
Gadzooks! Zephyrinus is right (as usual)! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMarch 5th is Ash Wednesday. Only days away. Fortunately trad Catholics have “pre-Lent” to help remind them—Septuagesima Sunday is Feb. 16th.
“But wasn’t it just Christmas yesterday?”

Quite right, Dante P.
DeleteChristmas was, indeed, only a little while ago !!!
And Epiphany has just gone. And, now, we are talking about “The Gesimas” and, even more, “Lent” !!!
Isn't it a wonderful thing that our Catholic historical Liturgy continues to nudge us along The Church's Liturgical Year. Prepares us. Reminds us. Encourages us. Always cossetting us. Prompting us.
What a tragedy that the so-called Modernists got rid of “The Gesimas” and gave us, what instead ? ORDINARY TIME !!!
How wonderful !!!
