Celebrating the lenten liturgies as fully as possible is one of the keys to a rich spiritual life in your parish. Now parish leaders can have at their fingertips a treasure trove of resources to help them plan this important season in the church year.

In November, Resource Publications, Inc. will publish The Lent Book, a collection of practical resources for planning the 40 day lenten season. The collection is designed to help parishes plan and celebrate the paschal mystery in an enlightened and spiritual way, with a ripple effect flowing through the ceremonies of the entire church year.

The collection of resources approaches the lenten celebrations from a theoretical, historical, and cultural standpoint while making a special effort to present practical, useful material. The authors build upon the deep spiritual relationship between Lent and the rest of the liturgical year, garnering from a variety of liturgical sources.

The Lent Book includes a wealth of liturgical resources, including songs, poems, narratives, and rituals specific to Lent.

The Lent Book is a companion to The Triduum Book, a favorite of liturgists and liturgy planners.
