Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

Today's Lenten Meditation from Cardinal Van Thuan
" title="Meditation taken from "The Road of Hope," by Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan (Pauline Books & Media, 2000). Archbishop Van Thuan spent 13 years in a Viet Cong prison, nine of these in solitary confinement. He wrote more than 1,000 meditations on scraps of paper that were smuggled out to his people during his imprisonment. "The Road of Hope" is the collection of these messages. The archbishop was released in 1988 but remained under "house arrest" for three more years. Expelled from Vietnam, he served in the Vatican and was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2001. He died in 2002.
