The thread on Ash Wednesday reminded me of traditional Lenten readings that we ought to have in Logos.
A number of Byzantine monasteries read John Climacus: The Ladder of Divine Ascent (Classics of Western Spirituality) every Lent so its on my list.
Last year I read another Byzantine text First Fruits of Prayer: A Forty-Day Journey Through the Canon of St. Andrew by Frederica Mathewes-Green which is also worthy of annual reading
Other worthy readings:
The Lenten Spring: Readings for Great Lent by Thomas Hopko
To Pray and to Love by Roberta C. Bondi
To Love as God Loves by Roberta C. Bondi
This year I'm reading:
Seeking Jesus in the Old Testament by Renu Rita Silvano
Writing to God: 40 Days of Praying with My Pen (Active Prayer Series) by Rachel G. Hackenberg
We'll see if they are as good as their recommendations.
So what are you reading - whether or not you celebrate the season? Last year someone shared their church's Lenten reflections which were very nicely done. Anyone game for this year?
