SALESIAN LITERATURE

Gospel Meditations for Lent

by Fr. Santhiyagu Arockiyasamy, MSFS

In this book, the author offers us the fruit of his spiritual reflections on the Lenten readings. His meditations are complemented by passages from the writings of the great spiritual director of souls, St. Francis de Sales. Salesian spirituality is noted for assisting us to translate spiritual principles to our ordinary lives in practical ways.

These meditations foster a desire for holiness and offer common-sense ways to grow spiritually through prayer, reception of the sacraments, and in our relations with one another. Occasional stories illustrate a point, and questions in each meditation assist us in applying the fruits of our prayers.
