Handy Little Guide to Lent / Michelle Schroeder

Ashes. Somber music. Fasting. Unadorned churches. Abstinence. Palpable sadness.

Maybe on the surface, Lent isn’t the best billboard for our Catholic Faith, but it is one of the spiritually richest seasons of our liturgical year and a time when we can truly grow by leaps and bounds in our faith life.

In this easy-to-read booklet, Michelle Schroeder gives a direct, nonsugarcoated overview of the Lenten season, including:

 How to approach prayer, fasting, and almsgiving

 How this time of sacrifice ultimately leads us to eternal happiness

 The deeper meaning of the changes during this liturgical season

 Why Lent is more than just ritualistic habits passed down from generation to generation

 The Sacred Triduum and the pinnacle of our Lenten experience

Lent is the forty-day journey through the ultimate and greatest expression of self-sacrifice that our Savior endured for us. If this season doesn’t create some lasting change in us, we’ve done it wrong.

Do you want to get the most out of this incredible opportunity for growing in closeness to Christ? Excellent. Then this Handy Little Guide to Lent is for you.
