Preparing for Lent

Lent is around the corner. Sometimes I feel that the season of Lent arrives before I know it. With this in mind I thought I would provide a few books that can really help to prepare for our Risen Lord.


1. Get the Magnificat Lenten guide. Small enough to fit in your purse or back pocket, this guide provides Scripture and a meditation for each day in Lent. Find yours here.

2. Crossing te Desert- Lent and Conversion by James Keating. I reviewed this book last year here.

'Crossing the Desert' is a easy to read guide that allows the reader an opportunity to really get to the heart of the Lenten season. It is not specific to certain days during Lent so you could pick it up at any point and start to read it. I think I got mine from Amazon.

3. Choose a saint who's life you would like to learn more about. Make a committment to study and reflect on the life of a saint special in your life. Some great choices:

 
              The Diary of St. Faustina
              The Interior Castle- St. Thersa of Avila
              St Augustine- Confessions
              A Simple Path- Mother Teresa
              No Greater Love- Mother Teresa
