“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

We begin again a series of daily 5 minute podcasts for Lent. They are intended to give you a small boost every day, a little encouragement in your own use of this holy season.
Today is Shrove Tuesday, a day upon which many would seek to be “shriven” before the beginning of Lent. In other words GO TO CONFESSION!

Thanks, Fr. Z! This podcast is just what was needed this morning. As ever, you never let us down.
Thanks, Father!
Thank you, Father Z!
Thank you Fr. Z.
Thank you for these podcasts, Father. Is there any chance that you could release them earlier for those of us listening in Australia, New Zealand etc who are a day ahead of you?
I have always released these at 00:00 CST (midnight where I am). I’ll think about this.
“To be good Catholic Christians our lives must take on the qualities of the mysteries we profess.”
Along that line, Bradley Birzer on T.S. Eliot’s poem “Ash Wednesday”:
T.S. Eliot’s “Ash-Wednesday,” a monumental work—the Purgatorio between the Inferno of “The Waste-land” and the Paradiso of the “Four Quartets”—has always been, as long as I can remember in my adult life, a comfort and a mystery to me.
I assume it remained as such even to the Great Bard of the Twentieth Century himself.
Stephen Spender, one of Eliot’s friends, remembers a student asking Eliot, after a group of Roman Catholics had studied the poem with Father Martin D’Arcy, “please, sir, what do you mean by the line; ‘Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper tree’”? To which Eliot somewhat frustratingly replied, “I mean, ‘Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper tree.’”

Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai “Ngaje Ngai,” the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
