DAILY REFLECTIONS FOR THE SEASON OF LENT, YEARS A, B, & C
In volume two of his seven-volume daily meditative series titled An Encounter: A Daily Discovery in Divine Word, Father Maurice Nkem Emelu provides commentary and Bible verses to accompany the season of Lent.
Following the same style as volume one (Advent and Christmas), these reflections on Lent primarily focus on the saving time of gospel conversion and offer a deeper understanding of our encounter with Christ through his passion and resurrection.
Written in a simple style fit for anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual live, each reflection is based on biblical texts that highlight the Catholic liturgical reading for the day. Accompanying each reflection is a personal reflective guide and targeted prayer that allow readers to extend the conversation by adapting it to their unique situations throughout the season of Lent.
Often conveying a tone of renewal, these reflections on Lent, a special moment of grace go beyond a mere encounter with the Lord to a more profound spiritual experience in which to begin leading the life of Christ in his way.
