First, thanks to Josh for sending the amazing picture for this week's show. This is a photo he took inside Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral in Toledo, Ohio. More about the Cathedral can be found HERE.

We're certain that all Catholic Podcasters will be discussing the many meanings behind Lent this week and in the week's to come - it is a very special time in the Church's year. The New Advent website has a very good overview of the history, meaning and purpose for Lent.

For those of you who enjoyed the opening prayer in this show, the name of it is 'Prayer to Saint Ambrose' and can be found HERE.

Please drop us an email or better yet a voice mail telling us what you intend to sacrafice during Lent.

Thanks to Katherine for sharing this beautiful picture of her children and pulling together a great Conversion Story! In this Conversion Cast, we have three wonderful stories. This truly is YOUR show and we're very thankful that this special feature has been able to continue on...

Throughout most of this show, I added background music which was pulled from the Podsafe Music Network

Here are the list of song in order as they appeared:

• CMP Theme 'Faith' by Tony St. Tone (not on Podsafe Music Network)
• Mark Heimonen - Always
• Carlos Tabora - Remember When
• Randy Knaub - Feels like Heaven
• Rob Costlow - Bliss
• Denis Kitchen - My Friend
• Grigor Iliev - Remains from the Past
• Johnny Owl - Melody
• Steelers Fight Song - Here we go! (not on Podsafe Music Network)

Hey Gang, hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while since Sarah and I were able to produce a new podcast and I was starting to get the shakes...so, we decided to do two in the same night! Yep, it's a bonus CMP cast filled with your emails, discussion on the US Supreme Court and our thoughts regarding a fellow CMPer's situation at work.

Two web sites were mentioned in this podcast:

HERE is the link to Julie's Happy Catholic Blog. She's got a great site with tons of interesting reading for all to enjoy. Including her conversion story. (Sorry Julie that I was not able to access it during the recording of the show, although I do see that it's back up now...)

Next is one of the original CMP listeners, Brad. HERE is the link to his blog. This is not only an interesting blog which follows his relationship with his LDS girlfriend, but also a great resource for Catholic Apologetics.
