{"product_id":"9781933184999","title":"Meditations for Lent","description":"\u003cp\u003eEven three hundred years ago, believers found it difficult to sustain for forty days the proper Lenten spirit. That's why even then, countless Christians turned to the writings of Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627-1704), whose great piety and simple eloquence won him renown as one of the greatest preachers of his time. From Bishop Bossuet's sermons and spiritual writings, believers drew ever greater Lenten wisdom and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow translator Christopher Blum has selected from Bishop Bossuet's voluminous works fifty brief but remarkably powerful meditations that complement the daily readings at Mass during the Lenten season, thus offering to us the perfect companion for a thoughtful and fruitful Lent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you read and meditate briefly on just one of them each day in Lent, I guarantee that this good French bishop's eloquence will soon have you not merely \u003cem\u003eremembering\u003c\/em\u003e the events of Christ's journey to His Crucifixion; it will have you spiritually \u003cem\u003ewalking with Him\u003c\/em\u003e on that journey . . . which is precisely what we are called to do in Lent!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Bossuet, this Lent you will find yourself saying, \"O Jesus! I present myself to you to make my journey in your company. O my Savior, receive your traveler! Here I am ready, holding on to nothing. Let me go with You to the Father.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's the fire that should burn in the heart of all Christians. This Lent, let Bishop Bossuet enkindle it in yours.\u003cbr\u003eAmong the Meditations:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003cli\u003eGod Alone Suffices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePray to God in Secret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Truth and the Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempted in the Desert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sign of Jonah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Your Enemies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is My Beloved Son\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd You Will Be Forgiven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wicked Tenants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Spirit and in Truth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Silence of Christ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriest, Prophet, and King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Life, a Journey to God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Commandment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Was Hungry and You Fed Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Love of God for Repentant Sinners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to Jerusalem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod, the Life of the Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Witness of the Baptist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Raising of Lazarus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJesus Is Persecuted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe True Messiah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Anointing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Betrayal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eucharist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Passion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Brevity of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashed of Our Sins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Sign of Contradiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Man Ever Spoke Like This Man \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Entry of Our Lord into Jerusalem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Unite Ourselves with Christ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sophia Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058233786608,"sku":"9781933184999","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933184999_p0.jpg?v=1763640480","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933184999","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
