philothea Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Last Lent I read St. Faustina's Diary, and that... was an experience. Amazing stuff, but I always find books like that a little challenging for ordinary, mediocre me. A few years ago I read Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth Part Two, Holy Week: From the Entrance Into Jerusalem To The Resurrection and I think that was pretty perfect Lenten reading.

Yes i love that book! I think I will read it again after I'm finished rereading A Right to be Merry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of repeat from his other books, and maybe a little outdated (???). Like at one point he suggests that it's inconsiderate to go to confession weekly because the priests are so overworked. At my parish they specifically recommend weekly confession for Lent. But he was super insistent on how we need to completely avoid all venial sins (with examples of common ones) so that was nice. BUT! Buying that got Amazon to recommend Peter Kreeft's How to be Holy: First Steps in Becoming a Saint which is completely amazing. The title rather undersells the contents. Strong recommendation if you're looking for something to read for Lent (or any time). Edited March 13, 2017 by philothea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilate Deo Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 For those of you who have a devotion to the Sacred Heart, Haurietis Aquas by Pope Pius XII would likely interest you. I haven't read it all myself, but it sounds like a good read. You can read it here: http://w2.vatican.va/content/pius-xii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_15051956_haurietis-aquas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilate Deo Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm 50 paragraphs into Veritatis Splendor by St. John Paul II and it's got a lot of good stuff in it about leading a moral life and how God, through the Church, gives us freedom.
