** EXODUS, LENT, AND BECOMING A TRUE NATION
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column

------------------------------------------------------------
Through Leon Kass’s commentary, Exodus offers us a profound reflection on what it means to be a true people, not merely an aggregate of individuals or a network of families. Read More ([link removed])

We encourage those who observe Lent to pick up a copy of Roman Pilgrimage: The Station Churches ([link removed]) , which transports readers to Rome for a unique religious and aesthetic journey with magnificent photographs and revealing commentaries on the pilgrimage’s liturgies, art, and architecture. With reflections by George Weigel, commentary by art historian Elizabeth Lev, and photographs by Stephen Weigel, Roman Pilgrimage is compelling guide to the Eternal City, the Lenten Season, and the itinerary of conversion that is Christian life throughout the year. (The e-book version of Roman Pilgrimage features all 400+ photographs in spectacular color and enables readers to zoom in on the marvelous details therein.)
