Observing Lent


Deepen your Lenten observance through musical ecounters with the suffering and incarnate love of Christ’s Passion; a contemplation of fasting, sinfulness, mercy, and grace from the perspectives of the artist’s gaze; and an opportunity to pause, listen for God’s voice in your life, and begin anew.
