Lenten Retreat Conference No. 5: When I Am Lifted Up: The Saving Innocence of Christ Note: This audio is the fifth Friday Retreat Conference within the Lenten Season. When I Am Lifted Up: The Saving Innocence of Christ This fifth conference within the Lenten Devotional Season . . . . . . explains how the season of Lent developed over time in the Church. Originally, Lent focused on preparing new converts for baptism, but as Christianity became widespread, it shifted toward renewing the faith of all believers. By the Middle Ages, Lent took on two parts: the first emphasizing prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for personal conversion, and the second . . . beginning around the fifth week (Passiontide) . . . focusing on the Cross and Christ's suffering. Covering of Crosses and Images A key tradition during this time is the covering of crosses and images. This practice symbolizes a “fasting of the eyes,” helping believers recognize that they often take sacred things for granted. By temporarily hiding these images, the Church invites deeper reflection so that, when the Cross is revealed on Good Friday, it is encountered with renewed understanding and reverence. The conference emphasizes that the Cross is central to understanding Jesus. While the world resists suffering and self-sacrifice, Christ reveals that true life comes through self-denial, self-giving, and sacrifice. This is why Jesus teaches: to follow Him, one must first deny oneself, then take up the cross. Lent prepares believers for this call. Through spiritual discipline, they are strengthened to confront their own weaknesses and worldly tendencies, which often prioritize self-interest over God's will. As Passiontide begins, the Church asks a deeper question: not just whether one follows Jesus, but how deeply one desires to follow Him, even to the Cross. The culmination comes on Good Friday, when the Cross is finally unveiled. This moment represents a profound revelation of Christ's love and sacrifice, drawing believers to venerate and personally encounter it. From the Cross flows forgiveness . . . Jesus' first words being “Father, forgive them” . . . highlighting mercy as the heart of the mystery. The conference encourages participation in the sacrament of reconciliation, especially during Lent, as a concrete response to Christ's mercy. Overall, Lent is presented as a journey of conversion, leading believers to a deeper understanding of the Cross, which is the source and summit of Christian life. Listen to this devotional Lenten Retreat Conference and let it transform your heart.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/032426.cfmWhy does the Church cover the crucifix with a veil during Passiontide, just as we draw closer to Good Friday? It seems almost backward. Shouldn't we be looking more at the Cross, not less? But in her wisdom, the Church teaches us to long for what we so often take for granted.By covering the crucifix, we begin to feel its absence. And when it is finally unveiled on Good Friday, slowly and deliberately, we encounter again — almost as if for the first time — the shocking reality of Christ's sacrifice. The Cross is not just a symbol. It is the very key to our salvation. As Scripture says, “by His wounds we are healed.”The Cross is not an obstacle to Heaven — it is the obstacle to hell. It is the ladder by which we rise, just as Moses lifted up the bronze serpent so that those who looked upon it in faith might live. In the same way, when we look upon Christ crucified with faith, we acknowledge our sin and trust in His power to save.This is why sacramentals like the crucifix matter. Not as superstition, but as a means to dispose our hearts to grace. When you look at the crucifix, you are not just seeing Christ—you are being seen by Him. His gaze meets yours. His love is personal.If you wonder where God is in your suffering, look at the crucifix. If you wonder how much He loves you, look at the crucifix. If you want to understand your worth, your redemption, your path to Heaven — look at the crucifix.This Lent, don't just pass by it. Stop. Look. Remain. Because the more you behold the Cross, the more you will understand love — and learn how to live it. ★ Support this podcast ★

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Fifth Sunday of Lent, formerly known as "Passion Sunday," marks the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time within Lent. It's the final Sunday of Lent, and the Liturgy of the Word (John 11:1-45) speaks of resurrection and new life.The Church invites us to turn our attention to the death of a loved one.Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, He will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him, “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” (John 11: 21-27)Covering crosses and images in the church from this Sunday may be observed in the Dioceses of the United States. Crosses remain covered until the end of the Celebration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday, but images remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
