Lent and Easter With the Holy Fathers
Spend this Lent and Easter in the good company of popes past and present.
As Pope Clement XIII said in a 1759 encyclical, Easter is the celebration "by which alone the dignity of all other religious occasions is consecrated."
These reflections, homilies, and special messages from Holy Fathers down through the ages will inspire you toward a good Lent and a joyful Easter!
Each year, we relive the events of what happened 2,000 years ago and we are powerfully reminded of the sacrifice and love of our Lord. As Pope John Paul II said in his 2004 Lenten message: "During Lent, we prepare to relive the Paschal Mystery, which sheds the light of hope upon the whole of our existence, even in its most complex and painful aspects."
These messages of strength, challenge, and hope are vital for all of the people of God.
Product Reviews for Lent and Easter With the Holy Fathers
| As Celano (editor, Christmas with the Holy Fathers) points out, the Lenten and Easter seasons are of paramount importance to believing Christians, and his selection focuses readers attention on repentance and renunciation as key components of Christian preparation for Easter. Not surprisingly, given the occastionally dubious history of the See, Celano selects writings and prayers from a rather controlled list of Popes, including Leo the Great, Gregory I, John XXIII, John Paul II, and current Pope. VERDICT: A brief and pithy anthology for the season; an essential purchase for areas where Catholic readership is strong. |
