We begin each Lent with the same goal, Each Lent, to strengthen our relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are ordained from the Church to help our efforts. Did you also know that she encourages us to increase our love for Christ and His Church through spiritual reading? When we reserve a few minutes each day to read a worthy spiritual text, we increase our understanding and knowledge of God, and our Lenten journey becomes less arduous and more inspired. Fellow OLPH friends have compiled a list of some of their favorite religious and spiritual books to assist your Lenten walk. Our prayer is that before Easter arrives, perhaps one or several of the books shared are also among your favorites.
