This book enriched my Lenten/Easter. The final meditation for Divine Mercy Sunday was one that needed to be shared as it shares all the attributes of the cross: hope, refuge, staff, guide, rudder, counselor, physician, and glory. This book brought so much meaning to my Lent and Easter celebration and I looked forward to reading it each morning. I also highly recommend "The Road to Bethlehem" for Advent/Christmas.

Great for Lent
Terrific Daily read for Lent. Not light fluff God-loves-you-where-you-are ad nauseam —but serious contemplation material. This will help you go deep into your faith.

Excellent Reflections
St. Alphonsus is a master in the spiritual life. These reflections draws us into the Paschal mysteries. Thought provoking and moving.

Fantastic daily meditations - I did this every day during Lent and Easter week (which is really saying something). I will plan on using this annually!
