(38:01) Break 2 (39:35) Dean - For a long time in the Catholic church, the paradigm was penance; mortification or dying early. There's been a shift and now more focus on caring for our bodies. Could father talk about that shift? (44:52) Nicole - I'm going through a process where I'm trying to prepare for Lent. Two struggles:  Physical appearance and health. Quit drinking.
