"Fr Z is a true phenomenon of the information age: a power blogger and a priest."

“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

The Lent my wife and I first met, we read Scott Hahn’s reflection book. It was a good way to get to know each other on a deeper level and grow more spiritually. I would say it was instrumental in our discernment process.
Best book I have read so far for Lent.
(20 plus years)
The Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ
Archbishop Alban Goodier S.J.
I never saw Jesus, True man ,and True God the way this gifted author brings Him out.
My copy is older somewhere between 1900 and 1950 no date
Publisher is P. J. Kenedy and Sons
Long Live Christ The King
Dom Vonier is fabulous. His book on the Eucharist, FIVE STARS!
I try to read “The Spiritual Combat” by Lorenzo Scupoli every Lent.
I am planning to read Christ the Life of the Soul by Bl. Columba Marmion.
I vote for Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, “Knowing the Love of God.” Life changing.
The Noonday Devil is fantastic. Highly recommend.
Get this… Heresy of Formlessness is 200 new and 112 used on amazon.
Amazon generously offers a 1.90 buck gift card if you trade it in.
Great book though.
The Mind of the Maker, by Dorothy L. Sayers.

S. Leonis Magni Sermones de Quadragesima
J. P. Migne, Tomus LIV
The Heresy of Formlessness appears to be in stock at booksforcatholics.com. ISBN 978-1-586171278
Each of the last two books in Fr. Z’s list is in a class of its own–Guardini on the life of Christ, and Vonier on Eucharistic doctrine. I know of nothing comparable to either.
Anything by Solange Hertz has been excellent regarding Christ the King. A very nice primer of hers on personal sanctity is Sin Revisited.
Puritan’s Empire by Charles Coulombs is an eye opening summary of American history.
And of course I cannot recommend highly enough the treasure trove of free online books at:
http://www.traditionalcatholic.co/free-catholicbooks/
God or Nothing and The Noonday Devil are incredibly reflective and thought-provoking. I will soon begin In Sinu Jesu and about halfway through Lent will begin Acedia and Its Discontents.
I’ve read Cardinal Sara’s book, and I can highly recommend it.
