It's the moment you've been waiting for! Tim and Scott are back with an action-packed episode to kick off the 2022 Lent Madness season. Besides the usual delightful, yet appropriately penitential repartee, the members of the Supreme Executive Committee cover such important topics as online devotional safety and appropriate gifts for Valentine's Day. All that and more! Much, much more...
Although playing Lent Madness is, like grace, absolutely free, you can still add to the experience. If you want your own Absalom Jones Golden Halo 2021 commemorative mug, order it today. Stock, unlike grace, is limited. Update! The mugs are now sold out. Stay tuned to order your 2022 Golden Halo mug.
And you can get Saintly Scorecards (individual or bulk price) or bracket posters too. Unlike some items that have skyrocketed in price during the pandemic, the Lentorium still offers incredible bargains with no supply chain issues.
With just 37 days until the Lent Madness 2022 kickoff, it's time to start preparing by studying up on the saints and telling all your friends & neighbors about the world's largest (and best) online Lenten devotion.
Yes, we're back for another year of saintly thrills and spills. We hope you'll join us for another exciting Lenten adventure. Oh, and if you'd like to preview which saints made this year's bracket, click here.

Waiting with weirdly exciting anticipation
I live in Northern Canada; truly the land of ice, snow, dog sleds and northern lights and my heart leapt in joy when I read that Lent Madness will be starting in 37 days! The snow and ice will be with us for about 4 more months but THIS gives me joy.

I was going to nominate St. Margaret of Scotland; she is such a worthy candidate. But unfortunately I just didn't get around to it. Maybe next year.

I'm so looking forward to Lenten Madness. Like the Cheshire Cat I can't seem to lose the smile on my face after viewing the opening words from our esteemed fearless leaders. 37 more days.

Miriam, several of us St. Margaret of Scotland fans did nominate her, but she wasn't picked this year. As she would say, Haud Fast! We'll get her in next year, I hope. Meanwhile, happy Burns Night tomorrow. Scots wha hae!

The link to purchase the mug appears to be broken. 🙁
Hope it's dishwasher safe, but I want one even if it isn't.
I'm starting an all-day program today with the Absalom Jones Center in Atlanta. The Center is an essential resource that carries on the good work of last year's winner.
Yes, I had a problem also, Ken. I have managed to pick the winner two years in a row and I want my mug!

Looking forward to another round of Historical expertise, entertaining and otherwise; bring it on folks. Lent Madness adds a touch of Magenta to the season of purple.

Scott needs a mic check for the next podcast because I can hardly hear him. Tim is coming in loud and clear. Can't wait for the start of Lent Madness!

I have a little different insight for Lent. Instead of giving something up, assume something new or replace something old, something for someone or anyone that is needy. Donate time as well as money, work for a worthy cause. Learn about a new Biblical, Theological or spiritual concept. Begin a new mind-habit, work toward peace and tranquility within your own circle. Do this for yourself. People can give up something much more meaningful than stuff---time love and concern.

The postage to heaven and back is too high? But it's eternity. Can't you use a "Forever" stamp?

Such anxiety as our goddaughter's name is Lydia and her daughter (our grand goddaughter) is Cecilia. Will they face off in the end?

Can someone please check the link for purchasing last year's mug? I get an error message, and I noticed at least one other person did also.
Maybe this year’s Madness will teach me how to pronounce Kateri Takakwatha—or I can keep calling her “Katy”! So pleased to see her in the running, by any name.
