In this episode of The Catholic Talk Show, Ryan, Ryan, and Fr. Michael dive into 10 lost Catholic Lent traditions that once shaped the Church’s penitential season—and why they’re worth reviving today.

Exodus 40 is a Lenten journey designed to help men grow in holiness through prayer, fasting, and fraternity. Built specifically for Lent, Exodus 40 offers a clear and challenging path for men who want more than a surface-level Lent.
