Miraculous Medal Shrine Lenten Video Series

The Miraculous Medal Shrine, Philadelphia, has produced a Lenten video series, “The Joy of Sacrifice,” which will be released daily from Ash Wednesday, Mar. 2, until Easter Sunday, Apr. 17.

The collection of 41 videos hosted by Father Aidan Rooney, C.M., features reflections on Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Mass and personal stories of sacrifice from clergy and laypeople.

“The videos give way to a broader perspective of how people perceive sacrifice,” said Alex Gross, the shrine’s manager of digital marketing and communications. “Through the series we come to see how loss, suffering and sacrifice can lead to something transformative.”
