LIVING THE DAYS OF LENT 2004: Reflections by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth

Constance employs a Scripture verse from the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Mass as a springboard for each of these brief daily devotions. Beginning with Ash Wednesday and ending with Easter Sunday, the book includes poems, prayers and reflections by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth. One of the delights of this annual series is the convenience of its perforated pages; readers can tear off the day's page and keep it wherever their eyes will see it most often: the office computer screen, the refrigerator door, the dashboard. In this way, what could be merely a five-minute devotional has the opportunity to become a recipe for reflection and renewal all day. (Jan.)
