Traditionally, each day of Lent has an assigned Roman Station, a church where the faithful would gather for Mass after a procession. On Lent’s 1st Sunday we are at St John Lateran, the Mother Church of the City (Rome) and the World, the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome. The traditional Collect for this Sunday has an insight for your Lenten discipline.
Concede nobis, omnipotens Deus, ut, per annua quadragesimalis exercitia sacramenti, et ad intellegendum Christi proficiamus arcanum, et effectus eius digna conversatione sectemur.
