In the first installment of our Friday Lenten series, Mother Mary Concepta, S.V., Superior General of the Sisters of Life, offers a profound reflection on fasting—perhaps one of the most challenging Lenten practices.

Deacon Maldonado served at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, and Church of the Holy Cross, Manhattan.
