Church Fathers Lenten Reading Plan
I haven't felt like posting lately. I still don't really feel like posting, yet this morning you will get a few words from me, more for the convenience of posting these links for my own sake than for any other reason. I am in a hurry, and can't write long.
For the Lenten season, the good people at Ancient and Future Catholics have compiled a collection of daily readings from the Church Fathers. This seems like a good idea to me; an organized approach and this time of reflection may be the kick I need to get myself moving.
From Jonathan Bennett of the Ancient and Future Catholics Blog:
Lent is almost upon us. Ash Wednesday is nearly a week away. Many people often wonder what they should "give up" for Lent and time is running out. Many people also wish they had the time to read writings from the history of the Church, especially the early Fathers. At Ancient and Future Catholics and ChurchYear.Net we've come up with a great solution for both of these dilemmas: the Church Fathers Lenten Reading Plan (.pdf) (go here for html version). For those who do not have access to the writings of the Church Fathers, or prefer the convenience of having all the readings in one spot, Chad has collected all the texts into one .pdf file (205 pages): Church Fathers Lenten Reading Plan: With Texts
If you follow our plan, when Easter comes, you will have read 10 early Church Fathers and over 15 individual works from the early Church. You will also have deepened your faith and knowledge in numerous ways during Lent. It will only take 15 minutes or so a day too. These writings have been an inspiration down through the ages and helped lead countless numbers throughout history to the Catholic Church (including many readers and contributors to our websites). What are you waiting for?
