For Liana Del Mastro, the prospect of bringing the greatest story ever told to life on stage is a process that requires thoughtfulness, creativity and most of all, faith.

Fr. Julian Studden’s The Psalms as a Way of Prayer Lenten Mission retreat has been conceptualized with the frustrated beseechers of the Lord in mind.

The text of Pope Francis’ Angelus message on the Third Sunday of Lent following his release from hospital.

The papal preacher urged cardinals and senior officials of the Roman Curia to remain firmly anchored in Christ through lives of humility, conversion and fidelity, especially during the Holy Year, a time meant to rekindle Christian hope.

While the season of Lent is marked by fasting and abstinence, cooking for a hungry family in this season of prayer and penance "doesn't mean boring or 'fish all the time,'" a Catholic chef told OSV News.

The sorrowful mysteries of the Holy Rosary is the perfect place to understand Good Friday. They reflect on Christ’s spiritual crisis in the garden as He awaits His arrest and crucifixion.
