This week\\u2019s episode:

Welcome to Lent 2016!

In lieu of our \\u201cBlessed are They\\u201d segment, we will benefit from some pre-recorded Lenten inspiration and instruction from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York

Our\\u201dAmong Women\\u201d guests are Sherry Brownrigg and Lisa Hendey

In this program we look at the art of giving \\u2014 specifically, the work of alms-giving as we come to the Lenten Season. Together with my guests, Sherry Brownrigg and Lisa Hendey, we talk about the work of almsgiving this Lent through the mission of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and its Lenten apostolate called \\u201cRice Bowl\\u201d. Both Brownrigg and Hendey recently toured CRS\\u2019s mission in Colombia\\u2019s coffee country and share their pilgrimage stories and their passion for Rice Bowl as a powerful means of almsgiving and personal transformation.
