Pope Francis: Living Lent with Mercy: Encouragement and Daily Prayers
“The season of Lent during this Jubilee Year should also be lived more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God’s mercy.” – Pope Francis
Pope Francis has made relating Jesus’ teachings on mercy one of his top priorities. He has proclaimed this Jubilee Year of Mercy, praying that the Church, “with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.”
Combining the wisdom and humility of Pope Francis with prayers from Fr. Warren J. Savage, Living Lent With Mercy will touch your heart, prompt deep reflection and spark a desire to grow closer to the Lord, one day at a time.

MEANINGFUL WALK THROUGH THE LENTEN SEASON--ANY YEAR
Pope Francis takes us gently through Lent with an emphasis on mercy. These simple readings are refreshing compared to many booklets for Lent that "try too hard" to persuade. I loved these readings.

Meditation
An excellent source for Lenten meditations. As they are they are meditations, however, spending time with a selection that speaks to you can lead you deeper into understanding.

Not good for Kindle
The meditations are fine but one has to have a Bible open at the same time to flip back and forth.

A good accompaniment
A daily dose of Lenten enlightenment which made this 2016 journey very meaningful for me. This miser was made richer by Pope Francis' theme on mercy.

Awesome Lenten Devotional
One of the best daily Lenten devotional I have ever used. Short daily readings and prayers but so very deep.
