For some reading during Lent you might consider our Holy Father’s two volumes about our Lord.  Volume One focuses on our Lord from His Baptism in the Jordan to His Transfiguration, themes explored during our liturgical worship in Lent. (UK readers click HERE.)  Volume Two focuses on Holy Week, from the Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem to His Resurrection. (UK readers click HERE.)

They are both available on Kindle.
