Lent: Stories and Reflections on the Daily Readings

Journey through the forty days of Lent with Megan McKenna, the well-known storyteller and popular author who inspires us to persistently seek God's way. As the lectionary readings tell us what God has done for us in Jesus Christ who destroyed death, Megan opens our eyes and ears to their meaning for us today. McKenna shows us the way, how to imitate Jesus and to do for others what he has done for us, encouraging us to resist temptation and to find our strength in the Eucharist, the word of God, and prayer. An extended meditation on the Gospel readings for each of the Sundays in Lent includes a unique story that illustrates and enriches the message of each reading and shows how it can empower us. McKenna's meditations on the daily readings provide practical advice to keep our feet on God's path. Lent: Reflections and Stories on the Daily Readings provides bread for the journey for individual readers, parish and prayer groups, clergy and lay people alike.
