Lent 2021: The Sadness of Christ

This Lent let us look through the eyes of St. Thomas More as he composes his last work during his imprisonment in the Tower of London, The Sadness of Christ.

Prior to his martyrdom, St. Thomas More reflected deeply upon the sadness Christ experienced as He entered into His Passion, so that he could overcome his own sadness, weariness and fear as he faced suffering and persecution.

At a time when we are experiencing social and political turmoil, and persecution of the Catholic Faith, let us also reflect on the sadness of Christ, with St. Thomas More as our guide.​

  • Mondays of March
  • 6:30 PM in Church
  • Live on Facebook (Not the Film)
  • Presenter: David J. Conrad, M.A. Theology

March 1:
Get to know St. Thomas More and the challenges he faced. Receive a copy of The Sadness of Christ. Watch Film: “A Man for All Seasons” (ends 9 PM)

March 8, 15, 22:
​Explore St. Thomas More’s insights on suffering and glory, the nature of prayer, self-emptying, prudence in giving witness, martyrdom, the basis of courage, the demands of true friendship, and the requirements of statesmanship (ends 7:30 PM)
