Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spend this Lent and Easter in the Good Company of Popes Past and Present As Pope Clement XIII said in a 1759 encyclical, Easter is the celebration "by which alone the dignity of all other religious occasions is consecrated." The Church would not exist if it were not for what happened on that first Easter Sunday. Also, the events of this season are all connected: There would have been no Easter Sunday without Good Friday; Good Friday is best understood in the context of Palm Sunday; and the forty days of Lent are modeled after the temptations of Christ in the desert. This is the story of the passion of our Lord. Our faith revolves around that passion, His death, and His resurrection. Without the events of this season, our faith wouldn't make any sense at all. There is no better time to listen to the words of the Holy Fathers, then now. Praise for Christmas with the Holy Fathers This is a marvelous book to give anyone who has a real sense of the Churchand of the significance of the teachings of the bishops of Rome. I highly recommend it." --Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel

Despite the wide diversity represented in the New Testament literature and the wide diversity of practice, there is a basic gospel and proclamation that even ante-dates the written texts of the New Testament. As Paul expresses it I handed on to you, as of first importance, what I in turn had received that Christ died for our sins. in accordance with the scriptures and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim, and so you have come to believe. (1 Cor 15:1-4, 11). This book provides the basic texts (with references to parallel texts) of this basic message together with reflections and prayers. In addition, there are reflections taken from the Fathers of the Church, which provide material for reflection and new insights into the Paschal Mystery. May those who read this book, praying and meditating on its message, be empowered to return to the simplicity of the original message - the gospel received the gospel handed over the gospel which you received and in which you stand, as will generations of Christians to come.

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.
