Well, good morning, everybody. Thank you again for joining us. I'm Father Chris Ailar here at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy. We're with you live today. It's still some more snow around here. We've got a few people that are able to make it. So God bless all of you for taking the time to join us.

Today is, I'm taking, basically, we're going to be speaking on Latin. Now, Father, I thought

you've talked on Lent before. Yes, I have in bits and pieces. But what I decided to do today

couple steps yesterday. And so with the help, he can't move that left leg, but as we move it with him,

he's able to at least do some things. And so we can't thank you enough. This is what it means to be

part of the marian family and

we're so grateful and so keep prayer man prayers for cameraman jacepi um it's it's uh on one sense it's

heartbreaking but in another sense it's very inspiring to see him and uh i was telling him how proud I was of him and that he's making
