CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMFor this final week of Lent before Holy week, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 40, delivered on March 1, 442, 1,584 years ago! Once more, this great Pope and Church Father presents us with powerful Lenten themes of sacrifice and penance being the marks of true Christians. Lent is what proves we are Christians.
