Lent and Easter Wisdom from Henri J. M. Nouwen
Daily Scripture and Prayers Together with Nouwen's Own Words
by Henri J. M. Nouwen
Thought-provoking words from renowned spiritual writer, Henri J. M. Nouwen, lead readers along a journey of conversion during Lent and Easter week. These periods of penance and celebration, lavish with rituals, help us become more sensitive to our own weaknesses and Christ’s victory over sin. Through it all, Father Nouwen comforts and reassures us with reminders that God loves and accepts us even in our human state.
Each daily reflection – from Ash Wednesday through the Second Sunday of Easter – begins with thoughts from Father Nouwen on an appropriate theme, supported by Scripture, prayer, and a suggested activity for spiritual growth.
