Lent and Easter with the Church Fathers

Prayerful meditations for the Lent and Easter seasons from the writings of the early Church Fathers

The Lent and Easter seasons invite us to reflect deeply on the salvation won for us through the Passion, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Who better to guide us in this spiritual journey than the early Church Fathers—the very men who helped shape Christian thought in the first centuries of the Church?

Lent and Easter with the Church Fathers is a daily companion that spans from Ash Wednesday through Pentecost, offering profound insights from these holy men that remain powerful and relevant for today’s Catholics. Each day features a brief introduction and a carefully selected passage from an early Church Father, providing a rich source of meditation and prayer.

With reflections from figures such as Augustine, Gregory of Nazianzus, Origen, John Chrysostom, and others, this book explores themes of sin and redemption, detachment from worldly possessions, the discipline of fasting, and our ultimate call to eternal life. For those seeking a Lenten resource rooted in the wisdom of the early Church, this book offers timeless guidance for a season of spiritual renewal.
