A 5 minute daily podcast to help you in your Lenten discipline.
Today, we go back in time to the special rites performed for the ancient catechumens on this day, once the mid-point of Lent. These rites eventually came to be part of a continuous rite of baptism. They included the placing of salt in the mouth, the opening of the ears, and several exorcisms. Today we hear the second of the exorcisms. Last year we heard the first (which I’m sure you remember).
You can continue your video spiritual pilgrimage to today’s Roman Station, St. Paul’s outside-the-walls where we were for Sexagesima Sunday in Pre-Lent HERE.
Don’t forget the 9 Month Novena prayer! HERE

Father Z,
Your LENTCAzT podcasts and entries from your Roman sojourns came in handy the other day. Several of my co-workers and I spend our lunch breaks completing crossword puzzles (chess not being our thing). Yesterday, the clue was “seven of Rome” with the answer being five letters. Almost instantly, I said, “hills.” All the credit goes to you. Thanks for your efforts!
