The Gospels for Lent and the Passion of Christ - Readings at Divine Service During the Forty Days of Lent With Short Meditations for the Faithful #248103

In their Lenten pastorals, the Rt. Rev. Bishops remind the Rev. Pastors every year that the Holy Church wishes to have the Gospels for Lent explained to the faithful as much as time and circumstances permit.<br><br>These Gospels are explained best by referring them to the Passion and Death of our Saviour, - which is the best subject-matter for meditation during Lent. As on week-days the time for this exercise is greatly limited, it is necessary to reduce the explanation to a few words: and for a meditation a brief exposition is quite sufficient.
