Conquering Self: The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers | Ep. 65

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
For this fourth week of Lent, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 39, delivered on February 9, 441. Once more, this powerful sermon reminds us that the conquering of self is absolutely vital to Christian life and salvation. This great and saintly Pope especially reminds us that three of the most powerful means of doing so is forgiving others, fasting, and almsgiving.
May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!
