  Pilgrim Road : A Benedictine Journey Through Lent (Revised)

  $23.95

  Revised edition of a classic Lenten devotional guide from Morehouse

  * Includes a revised introduction and questions for reflection

  In the view of St. Benedict of Nursia, the Lenten journey is an inner pilgrimage with Christ
  into the deepest parts of ourselves, to be marked not so much by external observances,
  such as fasting and self-denial, as by a deepening of our relationship with God.

  Benedictine monk Albert Holtz develops that journey theme through meditations written
  during a fifteen-country pilgrimage while on sabbatical. At the heart of each reflection is
  the lesson it teaches about our inner spiritual journey. By applying Benedict’s monastic
  wisdom to the everyday concerns and aspirations of modern Christians, Pilgrim Road
  helps contemporary spiritual seekers travel along and experience the journey of Lent in
  the most positive, meaningful, and fruitful manner.

  For use as a Lenten devotional by individuals and groups.

  From Holidays To Holy Days

  $20.95

  Rather than criticizing trappings of the holiday season, this book looks at them from the viewpoint of Christian contemplation, once aptly described as “a long, loving look at the real.” The author, a Benedictine monk who lives in the center of downtown Newark, New Jersey, invites the reader to join him on his daily walks as he points out dozens of often-unnoticed connections between our holidays and the spiritual meaning of Advent and Christmas. In a string of colored lights, a crowd of shoppers, or the window of a toy store, he uncovers such traditional Advent themes as watchful waiting, repentance, and selfless love. On the bustling sidewalks, he introduces us to Isaiah, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself, all speaking their ancient Advent and Christmas messages of peace and hope and good will.
