I will do my first conscious lent this year and this video is a great start! Previously I always followed my family’s rules on lent but never engaged with it with awareness~

Cardinal Oswald, I thank God
for your wisdom and your anointing. But for the lockdown many of us would not have been connected to you and the Archdiocese of Mumbai. Thank you for Fr Michael s inspired talks, the meaningful Holy Spirit novena and the lovely voices in the background always. Today’s singing was particularly soothing to the soul! May you all, be blessed!

As traditional Catholics we still abstain from meat every Friday of the year, as well as Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. That's our personal choice and I know there are many people that do the same
