Readings For Every Day In Lent

Spiritually hungry readers who want to breakthrough to a deeper experience of prayer and want practical help for Lent need look no further than to Martin Smith's A Season for the Spirit. Originally commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1991, A Season for the Spirit provides forty daily meditations for Lent, leading us on a journey of discovery in which we find that Christ, through the Spirit, embraces every aspect of our humanity. Each meditation concludes with a prayer and passage of scripture or quotation for further reflection and study. While it aims to assist a daily practice of personal prayer, it is also widely used by groups who pledge to meet regularly so that members can share their thoughts, reactions, and spiritual experiences.

he longing expressed in the Psalms by those seeking God is the same as the longing of those who are on the pilgrim’s road of faith today. The ‘search for the way’ is a recurrent theme in Henri Nouwen’s writing, and his books serve as roadsigns, pointing the way to decisive commitment, to deep love of God and of each other. This book allows us to follow the forty-day path through Lent in the company of Henri Nouwen. For every day of Lent, from the solemn beginning of Ash Wednesday to the joyous climax of Easter, it contains a carefully selected piece from the best of his writing. In Henri Nouwen we will find a reliable guide for our Lenten journey of reflection and prayer. He invites us to dare once more to choose the narrow but joyful path of Jesus.
