"Catholics are a Lenten people who recognize the value of piety and strict disciplines."

"[First Fridays unite] the Lenten and Good Friday image of Christ's atoning sacrifice for our sins, and the nine-month, Advent image of pregnancy and expectation."

Vicky | 11 comments I think I agree with Ron Hansen that "the only guarantee" where this devotion is concerned "is that we will be predisposed to Christian discipleship through frequent reception of the sacraments."Certainly, I have found this to be so in my own experience.
