Forty Days and 40 Ways

During Lent the Church puts before us special readings for each day, helping us to prepare for the great events of Holy Week, which culminates with the resurrection of Our Lord.
Using insights from a lifetime of scriptural scholarship Henry Wansbrough uses these readings to provide timeless and inspiring meditations for the forty days of Lent and each of the Sundays (Year A) of the season. He ends each of the meditations with a suggested action to help the reader apply biblical revelations to daily life. These acts will revive a desire for GodÔÇÖs spirit to empower us to follow Christ more fully ÔÇô not only during the forty days of Lent, but throughout the whole year.

Dom Henry Wansbrough is a renowned Biblical scholar who regularly writes exegesis and commentaries on scripture. He was General Editor of the New Jerusalem Bible. He is a Benedictine monk of Ampleforth.
