Easter - Meditations for the Days of Lent - book

A Guide to Personal Preparation for Easter

Lent is a season of spiritual development. The forty days are a long retreat whereby we are led into the practice of a more Christ-like life. Before us is the example of Christ; in the devotion of daily prayer and meditation, we unite ourselves with him in order to share in his redemption. We combat that which takes us away from the Christ within, so that, in the finality, we may know the secret source of divine life hidden in the mystery of Golgotha.

Meditations for the Days of Lent tells us how that great heavenly drama resonates within our lives. Each day a different aspect of the mission of Christ is presented so that, step by step, we can identify and nurture the Christ spirit within us.

"The writings in this book are in fact the meditations of my own heart and soul. They have been written as if I were talking to myself and to the Christ. I have taken the Gospel of St John as the foundation for my meditations, for this gospel - if read with devotion, intellect and mystical consciousness - will open up new depths and heights within the soul ... I hope and pray that the contents of this book will bring you nearer and closer to him who brought about a renewal in the universe through the great act which we celebrate as the mysteries of Golgotha and Easter." - Rev Mario

This beautifully presented hard-cover book contains meditations for each day of Lent and the Holy Week, culminating on Easter Sunday. It commences with Ash Wednesday and includes instructions for a service of Blessing for Ash Wednesday. It also contains a Service of Holy Communion and the music for the songs of Lent.

Rev Mario has created the Meditations for the Days of Lent to assist us to inwardly walk the road to the cross and so deepen our connection with the redemptive process of Easter. This beautifully presented and illustrated book contains Rev Mario’s own daily mystical meditations on the life of Christ, as pictured in St John’s Gospel, with litanies, prayers, accompanying opening and closing songs and the liturgy for the service of Holy Communion.

Meditations for the Days of Lent can be used by an individual or a group.
