I like these…Catholic Culture is where I went to learn about Catholicism when I was converting in 2005.

Wow Father Roderick. You have been providing some amazing resources the past few weeks. Thank you.
Susan Bailey has a lenten project called Lenten Devotions for Busy People. It contains a 5 minute per day podcast called Theosis featuring Fr. Seraphim Beshoner that can be listened to right on the web. It will also contain a weekly Stations of the Cross video which lasts 5 minutes. You can find it at http://www.prayerchapel.info
Thanks a million! I have made a link to my Facebook page so my friends can also benefit from this. Have a blessed Lent season.
Here is a great Ash Wednesday and Weekend audio site from the Chicago Province of the Jesuits!

At http://www.traditionalcatholicism.org you will find, in the spanish section, the story of Beato Jose Sanchez del Rio. His is a remarkable story. If you do not understand spanish, the pictures are worth viewing.
There are Lenten Sermons from several years.
With the assurance of my daily prayers for all your good work in the vineyard of the Divine Master, I remain yours truly in Jesus and Mary Immaculate.
