Description

---

Throughout its history, the church has richly benefited from gifted persons with the ability to clearly communicate the Christian faith. Their writings, although suitable for reading and meditation any time of the church year, are often especially fitting during the season of Lent. Drawing on the timeless words of these Christ followers, who through the centuries have inspired the community of faith, the readings in Abide with Us guide Christians from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday and conclude with the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter. Accompanied by prayers, Scripture references, and questions for reflection, these selections by saintly mentors are thoughtful signposts on the Lenten journey.
