Lent and Easter Wisdom from St Francis and St Clare of Assisi
Compiled by John V. Kruse
GoodBookStall Review:
The author has quarried from the works of SS Francis and Clare enough material to cover the fifty-four days from Ash Wednesday to the Second Sunday of Easter (Low Sunday). Each ‘Franciscan passage is followed by a Biblical passage(s) and by a prayer, and finally by a ‘Lenten Action’ or ‘Easter Action’. These latter may be introductions to all manner of exploring in the spirit, and may make Lent exciting as well as penitential. This was true of SS. Francis and Clare of course and that makes them such outstanding guides for these holy seasons.
