What it's like to give up English for Lent

If you think meatless Fridays or forgoing sweets for the duration
of Lent is hard, imagine giving up English—or whatever your primary
language is. This week’s guest, Jimin Kang, did just that last

English. We ask her how giving up English affected her relationship
with her family and with God, and how people who only speak one
language can adapt this Lenten practice to open themselves up to
new people and cultures.  In Signs of the Times, Zac and
Ashley talk with their colleague Jim McDermott, S.J., about the
Arizona priest who performed thousands of baptisms that have been
declared invalid because he used one wrong word. How should the
church respond when priests make mistakes like this?  I Gave
