The Lenten Pathway - Alicia Adams - Bog

"Lent is a time of returning to God. It is a time to confess how we keep looking for joy, peace, and satisfaction in the many people and things surrounding us without really finding what we desire. Only God can give us what we want. So we must be reconciled with God ... The season of Lent, helps us in a special way to cry out for God's mercy." - Henri Nouwen Easter is the nucleus of the liturgical year in the Christian Church, the celebration of Christ's Resurrection. It is acclaimed in ceremonies as the Feast of feasts and Triumph of triumphs. Justifiably so, for as the Apostle Paul declares, if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain (I Cor. 15:14). Through His saving passion and death, Christ freed us from the tyranny of death and opened for us the door to Paradise and eternal life. This is the objective of our life-long spiritual journey, a journey from death to life, from darkness to light. It is a long journey and we voyagers get weary; we get distracted and wander off or even lose sight of the road. The Lenten Pathway is a spiritual guide to help us make the journey to the Resurrection our own. This formative book is packed with scriptural readings, reflections, Lenten questions and answers, Lenten actions and daily prayers to help us live holy this season.
