A few years ago Jennifer and I recorded an audio version of the Stations of the Cross based on those celebrated by Pope John Paul II on Good Friday 1991.

As we launch into another Lent, we invite you to download and pray along with these stations of the cross. Here’s the link: Stations of the Cross

Also, if you’re looking for additional audio reflections and talks for Lent, here are a few more we’ve produced over the years that you may have missed:

Downloadable Audio Rosaries can be found here

Audio Talk: Be An Apologist!

Audio Talk: Prayer in Relationships

Total Consecration Podcast (all the prayers for St. Louis de Montfort’s Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary)

If you’d like to invite us to give a talk to your parish or group, be sure to check out our contact info on this link. Though it’s usually just me that travels to give talks, sometimes both Jennifer and I are able to travel together to give combined talks, as well.
