This podcast includes a Bishop’s thoughts on why to participate in the Lenten season, and also there are reflections on how the Virgin Mary’s experience in following Jesus Christ towards his Easter Passion may help encourage us on our Lenten journey this year.
Also, Pray for the People of Ukraine. There are links below on ways to support them.

Constant Procession tells of key apparitions of the Virgin Mary since
she passed on from the world and how she serves humanity through Christianity.
The origin of these podcasts began with my first book The Constant Procession.
(An e-book copy of the book can be found here on the website.)
Constant Procession (the podcast) is published here every Tuesday morning.
