Today is Ash Wednesday. Welcome to Lent.

As I said in yesterday's episode, St. Thomas wrote a meditation for every day of Lent.

Did you know that? Well, he did.

And they're absolutely beautiful.

Many people don't know about these writings, but they're lovely.

They think about five to eight minutes to read per day.

So what I did is I decided to professionally record each of these meditations

and I've put beautiful Gregorian chant underneath each one.

That way I thought you could listen to a meditation from Thomas Aquinas

for every day of Lent, which would be a very beautiful way to prepare for Easter.

So I'd like to play the very first meditation for Ash Wednesday today,

so you can listen to that.

And if you'd like to listen to the rest,

I'd like to invite you to support me on Patreon.

That's how you will get access to all of them.

And you'll also get a bunch of other free things in return, by the way,

which I'll tell you about in a second, but you'll be supporting the work of that I do.

And you'll also be getting access to these beautiful meditations.

I'd recommend if you do support me to download the Patreon app,

because that way you could listen to them very easily.

And I think that would just be a really beautiful way to start your morning.

Before you get out of bed, just click play and listen to what Aquinas has to say.
