The week between August 15th and August 22nd is a critically important time in the Church. This one week, more than any other, is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. However, why is this the case and is it scriptural? Hear Fr. Anthony Gramlich explain this important part of our Faith.

Father Anthony reflects on Luke 9:23–25 and Christ’s call to deny ourselves, carry our crosses, and follow Him. With insights from the saints—like Blessed Dina Bélanger, St. Faustina, and St. Thérèse—Fr. Anthony shows how even small daily sacrifices can unite us with Jesus and become powerful offerings of love for others.

The Stations of the Cross are a traditional Catholic devotion centered upon meditation of the Passion of Christ. They are typically prayed throughout the liturgical season of Lent, but are we able to practice this devotion outside of the Lenten season?On this episode of "Ask a Marian," Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC answers the question.
