Opening with two-page reflections on each day of Lent, including Mardi Gras--which rarely appears in Lenten books--the daily entries in this handbook are rooted in the basic themes of the fundamental prayer the Our Father. Each week and individual days have a theme--from love and embrace to rejoice and share--to help readers find their own rhythm and practice during the time leading up to Easter. Every entry contains a short reflection and a call to action that will help practitioners prepare physically, mentally, and spiritually for Lent.
