This is the Art of Catholic.

Welcome to the Art of Catholic.

I'm Matthew Leonard.

I've got a real treat for you guys today.

As you know, lent is fast approaching, so I thought I'd give you a full portion of what

I'm going to be free streaming this year.

That's right, free.

I'm going to give you the first full lesson out of a series called St. Teresa of Avelas

Nine Grays of Prayer, which is one of the many video courses of scienceofsainthood.com.

Now many of you know that a couple of years ago, I streamed for free another series out of the science of St. hood called Catholic mysticism in the beautiful life of grace.

And it was a big hit.

Thanks, Peter Gott.

Thousands of people went through it from all over the world.

Last year, I was just a bit too overwhelmed to do another series.

I don't have big teams of people like other organizations do, and I'm doing most of the work myself.

And I also just kind of discerned in prayer,

it wasn't the right time.

Now I got a lot of email asking,

why I wasn't offering a Lenten series,

and obviously I'm sorry to disappoint people,

but I also don't wanna offer something just to offer something.

But this year I got more than just something.
