G'day guys, this coming Wednesday begins the start of Lent in the Western Church at least.

We've begun it here already in the East because we have to try to outdo everybody.

But anyway, Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday.

Lent begins.

Hopefully you have a plan on how to crush this Lent.

Now, if you don't, don't feel bad.

Me and Father Gregory Paine are going to be talking about how to have a great Lent.

But I wanted to suggest something to you that could really benefit your Lent.

Thomas Aquinas wrote daily meditations for Lent.

These are not meditations that somebody else has cobbled together from his works on Christ

and suffering and things like this.

Rather, these are meditations he wrote specifically for you and me to read throughout Lent.

Now, you can buy this book online.

I'd recommend that you do.

But if you become a patron at patreon.com slash mat frad, in addition to getting a heap

of other things that we give you, like a signed copy of my brand new book on marrying

consecration that I wrote with Father Gregory Paine, Paine's with the Quiner stickers,

all sorts of things.

In addition to all of that, you also get access to these daily meditations.

So what that looks like is you would open up your Patreon app and you would click play

and you would listen to a three to a five or a six minute meditation on from Thomas Aquinas.

I've recorded them professionally.
