#18 | Taking Up Christ's Cross in Holy Week (St. Augustine, Sermon 207)

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this third Lenten episode, we read St. Augustine's Sermon 207, delivered during Lent approximately 1,600 years ago. We then offer an exhortation based on his words to finish Lent strong by taking up Christ's cross this Holy Week as we approach the paschal joy of Easter.

Thank you to the Catholic University of America Press, who has given Eternal Christendom permission to read from their "Fathers of the Church" series for our podcast.
