By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - “It’s happening again this year. It happens every year.”... That’s how I opened a post that appeared in this space two years ago. Sure enough, it’s happening this year too... It begins right after Ash Wednesday, when we begin to notice some new faces in the congregation at the little chapel where we attend the early-morning Mass on weekdays. Many of the same faces show up throughout Lent, and when Easter arrives, more than a few continue to come to daily Mass. So bit by bit, the congregation grows.
