For this second week of Lent, we are contemplating Sermon 44 of St. Pope Leo the Great (c. 391-461), which was delivered exactly 1,575 years before the publication of this episode. Like last week's sermon, it is brimming with incredible Lenten insights and vindications of the Catholic Faith, reminding us that we are not truly Christians unless we bear the cross of Christ.
May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!
