{"name":"St. Michael’s Lent","short_name":"St. Michael’s Lent","theme_color":"#ffffff","start_url":"/","display":"standalone","background_color":"#fff","description":"Welcome to St. Michael’s Lent, a playlist featuring the timeless tradition started by St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. \n\nThe 40 days devotion of St. Michael the Archangel, or St. Michael’s Lent,  began with St Francis, who was devoted to the Archangel, and desired to more intimately share in the passion of Christ our Lord. St. Francis desired to suffer spiritually and physically, through prayer and fasting similar to that of the lenten season, so as to take part in Christ’s own suffering and grow in deeper relationship with Jesus. You can observe this devotion during all times of the year, traditionally the Church observes this devotion the day following the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, until the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, as well as well as during the actually lenten season.","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/17005151/Media_Cover_262Final_dbe839_300x300.jpg","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
