“His resurrection gives meaning to our own life. From now on, death is no longer an ending, but the entry into life, true life: that eternal life for which we were created and which all shall enjoy who learn to live and die in a Christian manner. That was the goal of Lent: to help us die to our evil tendencies, die to sin, and begin even now to live a resurrected life.”—Fr. Troadec
The best-selling series continues in this fourth book Eastertide Day by Day. Fr. Troadec uses the liturgy of the Easter season so that, with holy Mother Church, we might rise like Christ with a stronger faith and a greater love of God.
Each of the daily meditations covered in this book includes a: Quote: Taken from the Bible, The Mass, or the Spiritual Fathers Meditation: A particular truth of the Faith and how it applies to us. Prayer: Two short daily prayers for the reader to choose from. Thoughts: Daily recollections that illustrate a profound point. Resolution: Three simple and practical resolutions.
Anyone looking to draw closer to God through the liturgy of His Church while developing the habit of daily spiritual reading and meditation needs to read this series! It continues to be a wonderful aid for Catholics of any age or walk of life. A profoundly Catholic and truly practical guide to daily growth in holiness.
This book is a fantastic spiritual read for the laity. It has a selection for each day of the entire Easter cycle, from Easter through the Pentecost Octave. Each day contains a passage from the liturgy of the day, a reflection, a few quotes from the saints, and three practical resolutions. It only takes a few minutes to read, but it provides holy thoughts to think about through the day, and practical steps to take to grow.
I especially appreciated this volume because it helped me to enter into the spirit of the Easter cycle. So much is available for Lent, that the fifty-six days of Easter and Pentecost can seem almost less important. This book is the best I have found to bring Easter and Pentecost, with all their splendor, into the busy lives of the lay faithful.
