“For any who long for more order, peace and joy.”
\n\u2014 Stephen Cherry, Dean, King’s College Cambridge<\/em><\/p>\n

Our world badly needs Christ’s light and peace. One way to bring these blessings to one another is to attend to our own hearts and to learn to live well.<\/p>\n

Living Lent well involves turning back to God to receive his blessing. In this deep and practical book, a guide for Lent and the rest of the year, Sr. Laurentia distils the sixth-century Rule of St Benedict<\/em> as a series of blessings. Closely based on Scripture, the Rule<\/em> highlights that the whole of life has a Lenten character and points to a joyful eternity.<\/p>\n

This accessible guide also includes ideas for reflection and action at the end of each chapter.<\/p>\n
