When we think of Lent, often the first thing that comes to mind is what will be our personal sacrifice. We become so caught up in 'making it through to Easter' that we sometimes lose sight of what the Lenten season should be - a positive, faith-affirming experience.

In this pamphlet, Anthony Buono explores the liturgical origins of Lent and discusses several ways to apply them to our present-day lives. He shows us how to find strength in the sacraments, enhance our participation in the Mass, and get more out of reading the Bible and praying.

In 'Celebrating Lent', Anthony Buono shows us that Lent can be more than just a time for breaking bad habits. When we make Lent a positive season, it will become a time of spiritual renewal from which we can benefit year round.
