“Any time is a great time for any habit to strengthen any virtue. Some seasons of the church calendar naturally strengthen certain moral muscles. Rather than thinking about the calendar as a ridged straightjacket, I hope you begin to see it as a garden bed, tended by a Good Gardener, who walks through the church seasons of each year with you so that, over time, you might flourish as a human person.
The church calendar cannot make you into the person God made you to be. But the Lord of that calendar will. And by following him throughout each year, you will find a prescription of habits and liturgies that God will use to strengthen your cardinal virtues and theological virtues.
My hope is that this book equips you to approach each season with a posture of reflection aimed at growth. The Good Gardener is alive and ready to walk with you through each season.”
