40 Days and 40 Ways

During Lent the Church puts before us special readings for each day, helping us to prepare for the great events of Holy Week, which culminates with the resurrection of Our Lord.



Using insights from a lifetime of scriptural scholarship, Henry Wansbrough uses the daily readings to provide timeless and inspiring meditations for the forty days of Lent and each of the Sundays (Year B) of the season.



Each meditation ends with a suggested action to help the reader apply the message of scripture to daily life. These acts will revive a desire for God’s spirit to empower us to follow Christ more fully – not only during the forty days of Lent, but throughout the whole year.
