Lent With the Saints: Daily Reflections

by Greg Friedman

It's inspiring and reassuring to have a companion on one's spiritual journey. In Lent With the Saints, Franciscan Father Greg Friedman provides such companions for each day of our lenten journey: among them Thomas Merton and Augustine, young sinners turned spiritual leaders; Francis, Clare, Damien of Molokai, and Teresa of Calcutta, selfless and saintly souls; Gianna Molla and Thérèse of Lisieux, everyday heroes whose small actions testified to the dignity of human life.

Through insightful reflections, Fr. Greg draws on his love of the saints to connect us to the scriptural readings of Lent, offering us daily inspiration during the season of repentance, forgiveness, and hope.

Each day of Lent until Easter Sunday, you'll find:
--brief reflections on each Lenten lectionary reading
--saintly connections to each reading
--suggested actions for each day
--prayers to help you slow down and reflect upon this holy and sacred season

Lovely devotional to be savored during the Lenten season.

I did not finish this even though it is a good daily devotional for lent. It was mostly something that is to accompany the daily mass readings. There was not much mentioned of the saints. I was hoping for more information on a saint each day.

My only disappointment with this book was the actions of the day; some were more than you could plan in a 24-hour period, others weren't feasible for those of us living in a small town.
I would also read the prayer before the action, feeling this was a better flow.

Not really what I was hoping it would be. Disappointed.

Not bad - more like 2.5. A little too Catholic for me.
