Love and the Falling Fifth
March 7, 2022 | By Daniel Yen TD ‘22

Meditations on the Fourth Word from the Cross
March 6, 2022 | By Elizabeth Propst H’23
When I close my eyes to pray, I find myself standing alone in the desert outside of Jerusalem. I am looking up at Christ’s body on the Cross. It is dark; the air is still and hot, and the world is silent except for Christ’s agonized, labored breath.
Into The Desert
March 4, 2022 | By Stephen McNulty PM ‘25

A Vision For Lent
March 1, 2022 | By Hannah Turner BK ‘23+1
