C&SI - Three Habits to Get the Most out of Lent (WoF) - 15 Feb 2026 (S06E13)

It seems like we have only just come out of the Christmas Season and we are down the door of the great season of Lent with Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of Lent next week. So on this weeks podcast we are sharing a reflection from Bishop Robert Barron (from Word on Fire) on the three habits to get the most out of Lent.  Bishop Barron reminds us that during this time of preparation, the Church asks us to cultivate a deeper friendship with God through prayer, to control and reorder our desires for physical goods through fasting, and to show our love in the concrete way of giving alms. 

We have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends for the coming week including the saints of the week (noting that the saints take a slight back seat during Lent) and a prayer reflection from Monica Brown.

In part three we have our reflection on the Sunday gospel where we continue with Matthews account of the Sermon on the Mount and what is a challenging gospel this week calling us to look ask ourselves about our deeper understanding of our relationship with anger, desires and truthful integrity in what we say.
