Rediscover Lent Day by Day

Matthew Kelly, best-selling author, world-renowned speaker and business consultant, offers Lenten reflections on the ""seven pillars of Catholic spirituality,"" one for each week of Lent. Using these pillars--Confession, Daily Prayer, The Mass, The Bible, Fasting, Spiritual Reading and The Rosary --can help us sink our roots of faith deep so that we can weather any storm and come to know the abundant life--here and in eternity--that Jesus promises. This day-by-day offering for Lent provides citations for the Scripture readings of each day of Lent, as well as a short reflection based on one of the day's readings. Sunday readings for all three Lectionary cycles are offered, making this Catholic Update appropriate for this Lent and all that follow.
