RETURN TO THE LORD
Lenten Journey of Daily Reflections

A guide for Christian pilgrims as they make their annual forty-day journey through Lent, this book can be used by individuals for private reflection and prayer and by homilists in the preparation of their daily sermons during this holy season. Brief Scripture passages from the liturgy of the day are followed by a reflection, thoughts for meditation, a short prayer and questions to assist in the keeping of a daily journal. The selections treat various themes of the Lenten catechesis that are suited to the spiritual significance of the season and the spiritual growth of the reader.
