Sunday Divine Liturgy of the Mass – Lent 2 [Spoken]

TODAY: We are now into the “40 Days” of Lent. The first day was Ash Wednesday – 18 February. The fortieth day shall be Great Sabbath – Holy Saturday – 4 April. There are 46 days in that span. How is it that we speak of Lent as 40 days? Remember that Sundays are not of Lent, but in Lent: Lenten Days 1 – 4: Wednesday 18 February through Saturday 21 February. Lenten Days 5 – 10: Monday 23 February through Saturday 28 February. Lenten Days 11 – 16: Monday 2 March through Saturday 7 March. Lenten Days 17 – 22: Monday 9 March through Saturday 14 March. Lenten Days 23 – 28: Monday 16 March through Saturday 21 March. Lenten Days 29 – 34: Monday 23 March through Saturday 28 March. Lenten Days 35 – 40: Monday 30 March through Saturday 4 April. Even on Sundays in Lent, we proclaim and celebrate Resurrection, as we do every Sunday throughout the year. As we do so, we continue exploring the Epistle of James over the 8 Sundays from Sunday 1 February through Sunday 22 March.
