Laetare

The Fourth Sunday in Lent carries with it a special character even within the desert of the lenten journey. It is a time to start to realize that we are loved by Jesus, and though we move through this season in a spirit of profound repentance, we must have hope.

Some have declared that how we worship is not so very important, and that apparent extravagance is a misplaced distraction from the truth of the Gospel message. Perhaps, though, there is value in the manner in which our Church gathers to worship and that the Sacred Scriptures can help us see this.

The Music Of The Sisters

The Catholic Cafe ventured to Gower, Missouri to visit the sisters of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles where their beloved Foundress, Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, was exhumed and found to be incorrupt. In this episode, we delve into – and listen to – the beautiful chant tradition of their order.

Palm Sunday Procession

There is great the significance to the opening Solemn Procession that takes place at the principal Mass of the parish on Palm Sunday. This is a wonderful way to enter into Holy Week.

To Come
