Lent is all about baptism: Catholics prepare to welcome new members to the Church and renew their own commitment to Christ. Focus your Lenten observances through the spiritual and corporal “works of mercy,” including sheltering the homeless and comforting the sorrowing.

Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
St. Jerome Emiliani
He was a soldier in the city-state of Venice in the 15th century. Captured in a skirmish and thrown into a dungeon, he had time to think about God—an experience that led him to priesthood and sainthood.

Living Faith
Deacon John Green is the founder of Emmaus Ministry in Chicago. Emmaus' mission is to make Jesus known on the streets among men involved in sexual exploitation. They develop ministries of evangelization, transformation and education.
Ask a Franciscan
Father Greg Friedman answers questions: Is a Catholic who joins another church considered a heretic? Why do Catholics use a common cup for communion?
Minute Meditation
This program’s Minute Meditation is from “From Catholic Update "Letting God In: Daily Meditations for Lent," by Franciscan Father Richard Rohr. SAMP
Portrait of Paul
‘The Letter to the Hebrews’
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, we bring you another “Portrait of Paul,” from Father Norman Langenbrunner. The New Testament Letter to the Hebrews was attributed to Paul in the second century, but modern scholarship largely concludes it is from another hand. Style and content are the key reasons this important letter is not Paul’s, as Father Norm explains.

Exploring Our Faith
Paula D'Arcy, a writer, retreat leader and conference and seminar speaker,
serves as president of the Red Bird Foundation, which furthers a ministry
both to those in prison and those living in developing world or disadvantaged
cultures. Paula's ministry grew from personal tragedy. In 1975, she survived
a drunk-driving accident, which took the lives of her husband and 21-month-old
daughter. Pregnant at the time, Paula survived the accident to give birth
to a second daughter, Beth Starr. With a background as a psychotherapist,
Paula’s work includes leading workshops and retreats related to spirituality
and women’s issues. She’s helps us explore the spiritual work
of mercy, “to comfort the sorrowing.”
