Sacred Reading for Lent 2016 (Paperback, 2016 ed.)

Inspired by the traditions of Ignatian Spirituality, the Sacred Reading series by the Apostleship of Prayer, an international Jesuit prayer ministry, is a unique guide to the use of lectio divinia through a simple, six-step process that provides a prayerful and imaginative exploration of the daily Gospel readings and helps readers look for application in their own lives. Beginning on Ash Wednesday and continuing through Holy Week, Sacred Reading for Lent 2016 is a practical resource for anyone who is interested in a deeper prayer life or seeking a new approach to praying and living the Scriptures. A catalyst for an intimate encounter with Christ, the prayer book includes brief, seasonally inspired quotes from Popes Francis, Benedict XVI, and St. John Paul II, and guides readers to read, reflect, pray, and respond to the Word of God in a way that is both familiar and fresh.
