A Companion for Your Journey from Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
"Let no one fear death, for the death of our Savior has set us free."--St. John Chrysostom
Lent is a pilgrimage of the soul when Christians have always commemorated the death and resurrection of Jesus with a season of reflection. Through poems, essays, and devotional readings, A Radiant Resurrection invites you into the time of reflection from Ash Wednesday through Eastertide. Written by members of the Chrysostom Society, this spiritual companion is designed to offer new light and depth to your Lenten journey.
This volume includes five weeks of Lenten readings, a week of daily readings for Holy Week, and selections for seven more weeks from Easter to Pentecost. These writings illuminate the agonies and wonders of the Savior's pivotal weeks, revealing how his radiant rising becomes our own.
What you'll find in A Radiant Resurrection:
- A vast collection of literary readings, devotions, essays, and poems compiled into thirteen weeks of readings
- A companion for preparing and celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus
- A helpful resource for those following the liturgical year, whether as individuals or as groups
In these pages, experience a three-part journey of preparation, celebration, and action--penitent preparation for Jesus' sacrificial death, joyous celebration of his return to life and ascent to glory, and active response through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Whether used in personal devotions or by a church congregation or small group, A Radiant Resurrection invites you into reflection, celebration, and renewal. Come encounter the One who dies that our death may die, and rises again to raise us anew.
