A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

During the season of Lent, the ancient prayers and petitions of the Great Litany guide us through this time of reflection, repentance, and renewal. Faith leaders from Washington National Cathedral offer daily meditations on each phrase of the Great Litany, recalling the words that accompanied Christians 500 years ago and resonate still today as we walk the way of Jesus.
