Forty Days Plus Three: Daily Reflections for Lent and Holy Week (Lent/Easter)

In these reflections at the readings for Lent and the Triduum, Monsignor McIlhon invites us to ponder the consistency between what we consider about human dignity and how we are living that dignity. If Lent becomes a day-to-day journey whereby we consent to turn out to be one with the visible features of Christ’s risen life, waiting to be raised from the dyings of our life, then the paschal mystery becomes a marvelous enjoy.

Although he writes with great sensitivity and theological depth, Monsignor McIlhon does not turn out to be pedantic nor does he go beyond the depth of the typical reader.

For priests, religious, and serious lay people searching for something more than pious writing about an important season of the Church year, this book will make superb Lenten reading.
