Newman on Lent
St. John Henry Newman offers profound reflections on Jesus' Passion, delving into the anguish caused by betrayal and His willing suffering out of love for humanity. This compilation includes three of Newman's esteemed works: "Meditations on Lent: Hope in God, Redeemer," "Sermons on Lent," and "Meditations on the Stations of the Cross." Through these writings, readers are invited to contemplate the eternal value of suffering, the depth of God's love, the true purpose of fasting, and the urgency of repentance. Newman's insights challenge individuals to identify with various figures in the Passion narrative, unite personal trials with Christ's, and grow in virtue, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of salvation and holiness.
