I'm going to screw this up.

Oh, that's the first thing you said.

Gahe and welcome to Pines of Aquinas.

We've got a lovely interview today with Stephen Johnson about going from LDS to eventually Catholicism, so it's going to be terrific, and I'm glad you're here.

But I want to tell you about something coming up called St. Michael's Lent.

I hadn't heard of it. You probably hadn't

heard of it either, but it's an old, lost, relatively lost tradition in the church. Back in the day,

St. Francis of Assisi, and his followers would go through this period of fasting. And it goes from

the assumption of the Blessed Mother, so the 15th of August, to the feast day of St. Michael. And Exodus 90 wants you to know about

it. So I want you to, if you're interested, if you're a fella and you want to take your spiritual

life to the next level, and for 40 days you want to fast intentionally with other brothers,

please check this out. I think a lot of us get sloppy in the summer. Our lives, you know, don't have the same kind of routine sometimes.

So this could be a way to get your life back on track. So go to Exodus 9.com slash Matt by just

clicking the link in the description below to learn more about it. You could find a couple of

fellas to do it with. What's cool about this fast is it's not the full on fast of Exodus 90,

where you have to take cold showers every day.

You can't have any alcohol. It's still very rigorous. Like you're not allowed to have excessive,

or you're not allowed to use the internet except for work. You have to fast on Wednesdays and

Fridays. You have to do an hour of adoration weekly. You have to do an hour of prayer every day.

So go check it out.

Exodus 90.com slash Matt. If you're a fellow, it's just for men, check it out.

Exodus.9.com slash Matt will allow you to download their app, which is really, really,
