Book excerpt: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him." John 3:17 Drawing on Scripture, literature, and personal experience, Fr. Ron Rolheiser shows us God's love is unconditional--God so loves us that he gave his only son. The death and resurrection of Jesus reveal a redeeming God, not a rescuing one. And that redemption comes through forgiveness. For each day of Lent through the Second Sunday of Easter, Daybreaks invites us pray and reflect. Fr. Ron explores the themes of humility and repentance, being a disciple, justice and mercy, the nature of God, faith, the Pascal Mystery, gratitude, and redemption. His daily reflections challenge us to be more loving and forgiving Christians.

Download or read book Meditations for Lent written by Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2014-01-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even three hundred years ago, believers found it difficult to sustain for forty days the proper Lenten spirit. That's why even then, countless Christians turned to the writings of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627-1704), whose great piety and simple eloquence won him renown as one of the greatest preachers of his time. From Bishop Bossuet's sermons and spiritual writings, believers drew ever greater Lenten wisdom and strength. Now translator Christopher Blum has selected from Bishop Bossuet's voluminous works fifty brief but remarkably powerful meditations that complement the daily readings at Mass during the Lenten season, thus offering to us the perfect companion for a thoughtful and fruitful Lent. If you read and meditate briefly on just one of them each day in Lent, I guarantee that this good French bishop's eloquence will soon have you not merely remembering the events of Christ's journey to His Crucifixion; it will have you spiritually walking with Him on that journey . . . which is precisely what we are called to do in Lent! With Bossuet, this Lent you will find yourself saying, "O Jesus! I present myself to you to make my journey in your company. O my Savior, receive your traveler! Here I am ready, holding on to nothing. Let me go with You to the Father." That's the fire that should burn in the heart of all Christians. This Lent, let Bishop Bossuet enkindle it in yours. Among the Meditations: God Alone Suffices Pray to God in Secret The Truth and the Life Tempted in the Desert The Sign of Jonah Love Your Enemies This Is My Beloved Son And You Will Be Forgiven The Wicked Tenants In Spirit and in Truth The Silence of Christ Priest, Prophet, and King Our Life, a Journey to God The Great Commandment I Was Hungry and You Fed Me The Love of God for Repentant Sinners Up to Jerusalem God, the Life of the Soul The Witness of the Baptist The Raising of Lazarus Jesus Is Persecuted The True Messiah The Anointing The Betrayal The Eucharist The Passion The Brevity of Life Washed of Our Sins A Sign of Contradiction No Man Ever Spoke Like This Man The Entry of Our Lord into Jerusalem To Unite Ourselves with Christ

Download or read book Embracing the Sacred Seasons of Lent and Easter written by Janis Yaekel and published by Twenty-Third Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one goes to the desert for forty days without expecting to find someone or something there. Christians, by their very nature, are seekers. We look for direction, we look for fulfillment, and we look for others who want to walk the road with us. We knock on the doors of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, seeking shelter and wisdom. Embracing the Sacred Season is a guide in this search, at the center of which we hope to find God. What happens when the door is opened, and we know that we are in the presence of God? These unique reflections for the entire seasons of both Lent and Easter, based on Scripture readings, are direct, and help us take an honest look at our relationship with God. Each is followed up by reflection questions and a prayer. Let Janis Yaekel take you on a spiritual dance with God, as you embrace the sacred season.

Book excerpt: Lent is a time to find the joy of God's light in even the darkest moments of the forty days following Ash Wednesday. It is a time to seek the joy in life and the gifts of God's grace as we prepare to celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord. For while it may seem like we're never going to escape the darkness that casts its shadow over us at a given moment, we're reminded that the light of Christ remains with us always. The light of Christ illumines our lives and symbolizes the company of a loving God who will show us the way forward. But we have to choose to live as "children of light." For each day of Lent through the Octave of Easter, author Daniel P. Horan, OFM, helps guide us to find the joy of God's light in even the darkest moments of the forty days of Lent until we move toward the joy of Easter.

Book excerpt: Because of his eternal love, Christ came to earth to suffer and die for us. These daily devotions allow us to join him on the journey through the darkness of Lent to the glory of the resurrection. We are granted the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the power and presence of God's salvation story. The Son of God took on flesh and was stripped, beaten, crowned with thorns, and crucified for the sake of humanity. In God's perfect act of love, his body was broken and his blood poured out so that we could be saved and set free. His selfless sacrifice brings salvation to the world. Each day we can rejoice, because through His resurrection the gates of heaven are open, and we who believe can enter as sons and daughters of the King. The daily Scriptures of Lent offer joy-filled hope for all of God's children.
