Lenten Reading

Here are a couple of good books to read for Lent. The St. Francis de Sales on has a reading for each Sunday and Thursday of Lent (and one for Ash Wednesday). The Saints & Sinners of Calvary one, I've read every year for as long as I can remember, is a good one to suppliment it with on the other days of the week. The Saints and sinners one is more of an easy read - story like - book telling of the lives of those who had a prominent part in the time of Our Lord's Passion. It's definitely worth reading! The book on sermons is good, more lengthy and in depth but takes simple subjects like, fasting, temptation, faith, etc. and gives examples of how to better them, get rid of them, and gain from them in simple - weak human ways. "In these sermons the Christian attitude toward life comes into clear focus on every page. All who follow the wise and holy counsels of St. Francis de Sales as presented here will indeed be on the true path of holiness and salvation, measuring all things in terms of eternity and advancing steadily toward Heaven, our only real home..."
