Even four hundred years ago, believers found it difficult to sustain for forty days the proper Lenten spirit. That's why even then, countless Christians turned to the writings of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627-1704), whose great piety and simple eloquence won him renown as the greatest preacher of his time. From Bishop Bossuet's sermons and writings, believers drew ever greater Lenten wisdom and strength.
Now translator Christopher Blum has selected from Bishop Bossuet's voluminous works forty brief but remarkably powerful meditations, arranged them according to the events reported in the Gospels, and lovingly translated each one for us.
If you read and meditate briefly on just one of them each day in Lent, I guarantee that this good French bishop's eloquence will soon have you not merely remembering the events of Christ's journey to His Crucifixion; it will have you spiritually walking with Him on that journey . . . which is precisely what we are called to do in Lent!
With Bossuet, this Lent you will find yourself saying, "O Jesus! I present myself to you to make my journey in your company. O my Savior, receive your traveler! Here I am ready, holding on to nothing. Let me go with You to the Father."
That's the fire that should burn in the heart of all Christians. This Lent, let Bishop Bossuet enkindle it in yours. Among the Meditations

Meditations for Lent edition by JacquesBénigne Bossuet Christopher O Blum Religion Spirituality eBooks
As the title indicates, the book contains meditations for each day of Lent. They are translations of work originally written in the late 17th century .... but they are timeless.Each meditation takes just a few minutes to read (only a couple of pages) - but contains enough to ponder for the rest of the day. Really easy to work these into your daily Lenten reading. I know I'll use "Meditations for Lent" in future years.

Meditations for Lent edition by JacquesBénigne Bossuet Christopher O Blum Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I'm always looking for the Lenten meditation book that will speak to me ever year. I work for a Catholic parish and am part of the RCIA team, so finding a book that will cut through the noise of that world is always difficult. This one is it!! I have it on but might need to get a physical copy as well.
I purchased two others. They are really wonderful books for prayers and meditations for the seasons they are prepared for. Wonderful to own and to use.
IF YOU WANT NEW FOUND GUIDANCE IN YOUR LIFE OR MAYBE YOU'RE A NEW COMER TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH. THIS IS A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN MEDITATIONAL GUIDE, THAT CAN BE USED NOW AND FOR YEARS TO COME. A MUST HAVE! I LOOK AT LENT WITH A NEW FOUND LOVE AND APPRECIATION OF MY FAITH. IT HAS OPENED UP A NEW WORLD FOR ME.
Wonderful reflections for Lent. You can go as deep as you want with them. Some days I was tired and had trouble focusing but the reflection was able to find me where I was at. I paired this with my daily journaling. You don't have to journal with it but I found I got a lot out of it
I just began reading today’s meditation and I’m in love with this book. I’ll be letting all of my group members, friends and family know what a wonderful book this is. The foreword from Fr. Check is beautiful and the first meditation on Ash Wednesday today called Pray to God in Secret just spoke directly to my heart. I’m looking forward to each day of my meditation for lent. So very happy I purchased this book. Perfect!
I have seen many pamphlets and books of daily Lenten reflection, but none has struck me so powerfully as this volume, written initially in the late 1800's, I think 1875. The daily topics are thought provoking without being preachy and have fueled my devotional and prayer life a great deal. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be inspired to make a spiritually profitable Lenten journey.
From the sturdy dark blue cover, to the eye-pleasing ivory,-colored, moderately-heavy weight paper of the pages, this is an exceptional book of daily Lenten meditations.
Overall size is compact enough to slip into one's purse or messenger bag. Type is a very comfortable font size (approx 11pt serif).
Bishop Bossuet's erudite words will undoubtedly appeal to those who prefer a more classical, academic flavour in their meditative reading, while yet remaining accessible to all.
A fine companion for 40 days... and beyond.
Includes the two great Lenten solemnities of St. Joseph and the Annunciation.
I'm so impressed with this book, I've placed a subsequent order for additional copies to give as gifts.
Thank you for reading,
-CC, Prime Member-Reviewer
