“Angels and saints were strong companions during Christ’s historical bridge building, and they are equally present and powerful to us today. Their presence is announced through the Lenten liturgy’s Litanies of the Saints — who accompany a procession to the Heavenly Jerusalem — and proclamation of the Passion narratives.”
— Christopher Carstens, A Devotional Journey into the Easter Mystery
