Lent is about to begin and, perhaps, a little sadness rises in your heart at the thought of the “sacrifices” this season entails. We have news for you: Lent is not just a “sad” period of sacrifices, but an opportunity for a major spiritual boost!
Imagine, in fact, having 40 days to recharge and “strengthen” your inner life. An opportunity to undertake an “intensive workout” to prepare for the great celebration of Easter.
Ready, set, go…
Are you ready, then, for a spiritual “challenge” that is neither boring nor repetitive?
This year, Father Ivan Licinio, a young priest passionate about evangelization, has thought of everyone, young and old, to encourage the renewal of inner life with a text that is easy to use but truly useful and effective!
This is not the usual book about Lent: it is a resource that will accompany you during the 40 days of preparation for Easter, offering you a new and engaging perspective.
What to expect
The Lenten resource will help you on your journey because:
It is a booklet complete that it comments on all the Gospels, all the way to Easter, including the two solemnities of Saint Joseph (March 19) and the Annunciation (March 25).
Every day it offers prayers to facilitate a personal encounter with God.
Its language is youthful and direct: the reflections speak to the heart, commenting on the Gospel in an illuminating way.
The tone is dynamic, the language is modern and the metaphors are easy to understand.
It can be reused every year, making it a useful investment in spiritual growth, as a way to rediscover the meaning of Lent and prepare as well as possible for Easter.
It offers thought-provoking reflections that help you experience Lent as an opportunity for growth.
It is a journey of preparation for Easter which you can face with enthusiasm and awareness.
So Lent is not a “punishment,” but a way to purify the heart and strengthen the faith. Lent is also a time of forgiveness! Just as Pope Francis says: God opens the doors of his heart to “todos, todos, todos.” There is always time for reconciliation.
Lent is an opportunity not to be missed to find our way again and draw closer to God, regardless of what mistakes we have made in the past.
Lent is a spiritual adventure that prepares you for the greatest celebration. An opportunity to grow in your inner life and welcome Easter with renewed joy!
