Books for Lent Bundle (eBooks)
- Description
Lent is a time for deep spiritual growth. To obtain this, it is necessary to
- First, meditate deeply and well on the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ
- Second, learn to unite yourself and your sufferings to those of our Redeemer by the example of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary - Our Lady of Sorrows
- Third, take sin seriously, understanding that it is so grave of an evil that it necessitated the death of the Son of God to satisfy the Divine Justice and bring about our redemption.
With these three focuses satisfied, this Lent will be like none that have come before it.
Considerations on the Passion of Jesus Christ, by St. Alphonsus Liguori, focusing on the deep love of God for man and the willingness of Jesus to take upon Himself a life of suffering in order to redeem us. As St. Alphonsus said, if God truly needed man in order to be happy, there is nothing more that Jesus Christ could have done to save our souls. Filled with much depth, great theological wisdom, and a breakdown of the details of the Passion of Jesus, this book is a must-read.
Our Lady of Sorrows, a compilation of the writings of St. Alphonsus Liguori, contains some of the most moving and impactful teachings and reflections among his many writings. Highlighting the deep love that Our Lady had for Our Lord, and the early knowledge she had of His sufferings, it will kindle a true devotion to Our Lady and help the reader more completely understand the adoration we should have for Our Lord who willingly suffered so much.
God Will Have Us Holy, by St. Alphonsus Liguori, is a reprinting of his Nine Discourses for Times of Calamities, in which he reflects on the nature of Divine Justice and the great evil of sin. In this book, St. Alphonsus presents all the statements from both the Old and New Testaments on God's own view of the nature and need for the punishment of sin in this life. Among the many fruits is a greater understanding of how contrary punishing sinners is to God's nature, which is fundamentally inclined toward love.
