The Liturgical Looking Glass – Reflection on the Second Sunday of Lent
A new programme on Radio Maria England presented by Nick Swarbrick and Tim Hutchinson – Broadcast Friday 9am and 8:30pm. Also available as a podcast.

And here is the music we played:

Traditional: Sadness In Life: Tract Commovisti
