Daily Devotions for Lent 2013

Daily Devotions for Lent 2013, written by R. Scott Hurd, a priest of the Archdiocese of Washington, offers simple prayers, a pertinent reflection on the gospel reading for the day, and a specific challenge for ongoing spiritual growth. As a popular homilist, speaker, and blogger, Hurd is immersed in day-to-day pastoral care and leadership. In these gospel reflections he gracefully draws the cares, concerns, and joys of his fellow Catholics into the larger story of the Lenten readings and provides a simple blueprint for prayer, reflection, and renewal. The Living Gospel series of prayer books for Lent and Advent offer practical insight and spiritual wisdom from some of our most popular Catholic preachers and homilists. A new voice each season and a simple format invite Catholics to embrace the living Word of God as revealed in the daily gospel readings and in their everyday lives. This edition of The Living Gospel series is an affordable gift that parishes can distribute to members of their congregations during the season of Lent.
