Daily Meditations on the Liturgical Year #3
Toward Easter
Lent is the great yearly retreat of the Church Herself, intended for the renewal of our hearts; along with Eastertide, it is the richest period of the whole liturgical year.
This little book therefore offers you for every day of Lent a meditation taken from the Gospel and from the other texts of the Mass. It also contains prayers, thoughts, resolutions, and suggestions meant to help us to center our lives back on Christ. Easy to read, with a simple vocabulary accessible to any reader, here is a manual of the Christian life particularly adapted to families but also to homes without children and to unmarried persons wishing to draw nearer to Christ our Savior and the Virgin Mary.
These pages were written for anyone who has a thirst for truth and for love. They echo the words of Christ to the Samaritan woman: If you knew the gift of God!

Great book for some short but thoughtful daily spiritual reading.

Fr. Troadec is out here with another good daily devotional for the crux of the liturgical year. I appreciate that the book also goes a week into the Easter season! The book is great for keeping overall Lenten resolutions and also has numerous good daily resolutions (although sometimes they are a little impractical). There is a nice hymn section in the back of the book as well.

Another of Fr. Troadec's excellent devotionals. Every day is written in an easy to read manner, making it a good selection for an independently read or family-read devotional. It goes one week into Eastertide (the next book in the series), so, if you find yourself unprepared for the next purchase, you have some wiggle room to find the following book.
If you read Fr. Gabriel's 'Divine Intimacy' regularly, you will find some days to be repetitious. The Mass readings follow the 1962 Missal so, of course, there is going to be many similarities in the Holy Week and Holy days. These same similarities, however, would be the same if you were to go to Mass that day.
I would recommend any of Fr. Troadec's devotional series to anyone. The end prayers, thoughts, and resolutions are great sources of daily recollection for myself. None of the readings are long. Each day is roughly a five minute read.

Such an excellent guide to use as a family, with practicable actions to take each day that are doable, such as pray a decade of the rosary for vocations, or mediate for 10 minutes on one of the Stations of the Cross. Love our SSPX priests!

This is my first read of Fr Patrick Troadec's books, but will definitely not be the last. Brief, well written considerations on a multitude of topics, with recommended reading AND some very good and practical resolutions for each day. Highly recommended.
