As a companion for the Lenten journey, Paulist Fr. Mark Villano, associate pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Community in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, has penned “Not By Bread Alone,” a day-by-day booklet from Liturgical Press with reflections on the daily Mass readings.

In this video recorded on Ash Wednesday 2026, Fr. Mark shares some thoughts about the booklet and the season of Lent.
