It’s our first anniversary! Wooooooooooo!

We’re back from our extended, exhaustion-induced hiatus. And it’s nearly Lent! So we discuss the world of Lent!

• St Francis really is stalking Andy and Jane, apparently.
• Ash Wednesday is this week, though our Eastern peoples have already started.
• Message of Benedict XVI for Lent 2012: “Let us be concerned for each other, to stir a response in love and good works” (Heb 10:24)
• Prayer, Fasting, and Charity! (+ Works of Mercy??)
• Katanoein – to observe carefully. Go Greek or go home.
• Silence seems to be a recurring theme.
• It’s our duty to tell people where to go.
• Tolerance vs. Intolerance.
• Do good stuff.
• Busy-ness, sloth, and neglecting spiritual needs.
• Shout-out to our spiffy new cardinal, Thomas Collins!

Question of the Week: What are you doing for Lent, or considering doing? Any ideas for 2 year olds? Does anyone actually read these finely crafted shownotes?

Song of the Week: “The World Belongs to You” by Jonathan Coulton. Andy is inordinately fond of his stuff.

Note to the world: We’re moving to more of a every-two-weeks-ish schedule. Officially, not just because that’s what happened.
