Lent doesn’t start with perfection, it starts with honesty. Cross to Crown is an 8-episode Lenten journey with Fr. Antony Augustine Cherian, O.P., guiding listeners from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. In each episode, Scripture meets real life: the pressure, doubt, fear, hope, and quiet longings we all carry.

Each week, Fr. Antony reflects on the Sunday Gospel, connects it to everyday struggles, draws wisdom from the saints, and leaves you with one simple spiritual invitation. If you’ve ever felt behind, restless, distant from God, or unsure how to start again, this journey is for you.
