Teresa Tomeo on the 'Lentiest Lent Ever'

"It's challenging enough, even for the most faithful Catholics among us, to keep our Lenten commitments. We're all busy, and just the everyday juggling acts of trying to balance faith, family and work often can lead to forgetting to do that daily Rosary or to attend daily Mass as we promised the Lord we would do this time around. Those types of challenges are what we're used to facing during Lent. Sometimes we take on more than we can handle, spirituality-wise. But as an oldie but goodie reminds us, we 'pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and start all over again' with the best of efforts and intentions.

"Those common discouragements or missteps during our Lenten journey pale in comparison to Lent 2020. This Lent, no doubt, is being seen not only as one of the most unique Lenten seasons in Church history, but also one of the most difficult.. . ."

In a recent commentary, Teresa Tomeo, host of Ave Maria Radio's "Catholic Connection," reflected on how this Lenten season, the "Lentiest Lent ever," could turn out to be "one of the most profound Lenten seasons."
