The liturgy of Ash Wednesday has come to tell us something new about time, our time, and to invite us into a new understanding of the time in which we live.

On “Jesuitical” this week, Zac and Ashley are joined by Sister Josephine Garrett, a sister of the Holy Family of Nazareth and a licensed counselor, to discuss why Lent promotes deeper reflections on our relationships with others and ourselves.

Colleen and Gerry offer the latest update on Pope Francis’ health, his progress, the press conference with his doctors, and the rapid spread of misinformation.

In a conversation with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., on “Preach,” James Hanvey, S.J., reflects on the universal appeal of Ash Wednesday: “Everyone is drawn to the ashes—for whatever reason.”

Joining Ashley and Zac to cover the cosmos on this week’s episode of “Jesuitical” is Guy Consolmagno, S.J., the director of the Vatican Observatory and author of the new book, A Jesuit’s Guide to the Stars: Exploring Wonder, Beauty, and Science.

Colleen and Gerry discuss Pope Francis’ double pneumonia diagnosis and whether the U.S. and the Vatican can find any common ground on key policy issues.
