For Lent, I chose to give up time consuming Facebook games in order
to spend more time on spiritual reading and prayer. I was glad to
have Rediscover Lent in my 'to-be-read' basket ready and waiting
for my use. Rediscover Lent grabbed me from the Introduction; Kelly
let the reader know that this Lenten devotional would be about the
seven pillars of Catholic spirituality - exactly what I needed for
Lent. The seven pillars are Confession, daily prayer, the Mass, the
Bible, fasting, spiritual reading and the Rosary. Definitely
serious stuff for serious consideration but presented in a
non-threatening manner. Each day starts with the Readings for daily
Mass although you will need to take out your Bible or as I did have
them delivered to your email box each morning. The Sunday Readings
are listed for all three cycles. There is then a page or two of
reflection, followed by questions on which to meditate and a
prayer. Upon flipping through the book, I discovered in the Notes
section that the reflections in Rediscover Lent were taken from
Rediscover Catholicism by Kelly. I recently received a copy of that
title and plan to read it during the Easter season to expand on
what I "discover" during Lent. --SAGA
Using excerpts from his New York Times bestselling book Rediscover
Catholicism, Franciscan Media has put together a wonderful book
that starts on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter Sunday. Each
day includes a Scripture passage and a reflection on the Catholic
faith, questions for meditation, and a short prayer. This could
take as little as five minutes of your day but impact it with the
seeds it could plant into your soul. Guaranteed to make you think
and reconsider your approach to Lent while inspiring you to embrace
your faith more. --CatholicMom.com
