Saturday in the Fourth Week of Lent

We reflect on the doxology at the end of the Eucharistic Prayer and why our unified Amen is meant to be real assent, not habit. We connect the meaning of praise in the Mass with Lent as a season of intentional worship and daily offering.• opening Lent prayers and the daily offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary • what the doxology is and why it concludes the Eucharistic Prayer • the meaning of doxology as “word praise” and glorifying the Father through Christ in the Holy Spirit • how the people’s Amen affirms all the priest has prayed • Cardinal Ratzinger on proper praise and why we seek fitting common worship • orthodoxy as the right way to glorify God and the right form of adoration • examining whether we truly mean Amen in prayer If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith this Lent, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our Lenten Reflection booklet, now available on Amazon.com. The Cristeros app is available on the Apple app and Google Play Store. More information on the Cristeros can be found at theCristeros.org.Send us Fan Mail
