Dom Prosper Guéranger, O.S.B., abbot of Solesmes from 1837-1875, devoted a whole volume of his great work – The Liturgical Year to
Septuagesima. In his Preface, Dom Guéranger referred to Septuagesima as a season of “transition, inasmuch as it includes the period between two important Seasons, – Christmas and Lent.”
Why should we not fear the end of our mortal lives? What example does Christ’s death on the Cross give to us?
What should true mortification aim at?
Why is the Cross good for us? Why do we need passive suffering?
Need a daily source of comfort & encouragement particularly during this Lenten season? “Day by day” is your aid!
What does Christ’s prediction of His Passion mean for us? What lessons can we draw from it?
“Lent.” What do we make of it and How do we make the Most of it? The answer is simple and yet very rewarding.
How does one choose a Lenten devotional? The secret to this, and to a life of piety in general, is to respect the hierarchy of our duties. Leila Marie Lawler offers wisdom as Lent approaches.
