Lent

The Stations of the Cross have been taking place in the basilica on Fridays in Lent in front of paintings of Jesus’ passion.

A Way of the Cross procession at Lake George, introduced in St. Cloud 25 years ago by members of the lay Catholic movement Communion and Liberation, will start at 3 p.m. on Good Friday, April 15.

This Lent, what corporal work of mercy could you practice at home?

There are many different experiences of brokenness that can be a doorway to conversion, including addiction, trauma, depression and facing one’s death.

“If there’s effort at all — even if we think it’s measly or small — we are acknowledging that these 40 days are set apart in our year to more fully pay attention to the Lord’s movement in our lives.”

In the Bible, any time period that consists of the number 40 is significant.
