Similar to our popular Advent series of podcasts, this is the first in a series of podcasts that are meditations for Lent. Every other week we will release one podcast that features a Scripture reading, Marianist reading, and guided reflection, all related to a Lenten theme. This episode's theme is Praying with Jesus in the Desert. We hope these podcasts can supplement your life of prayer, fasting, and service this Lent. Sit back, relax, and enjoy spending time with your God.
