One of the most rewarding Lenten meditation books I have read in a LONG time. The Passionists are centered on remembering the Passion of Christ and their founder's words are relevant and timeless.

Father Victor Hoagland C.P., has written a great Lenten companion that is meaningful and helps individuals to find stillness and reflection during Lent.
This book is set up with a short introduction and brief biography of the Passionist's founder, Saint Paul of the Cross. It will helps readers who aren't familiar with this particular saint, to gain a bit of insight into his life and also to experience a bit of the Passionist Order's charism. Following the introduction the book begins with the daily Gospel reading. The Gospel reading for the weekdays during Lent are same readings for each of the Liturgical Years and the only difference comes for the Sunday Gospel readings (A, B, C), in which the reader may choose the Gospel, meditation and prayer for the day.
The daily meditations include the above mentioned Gospel readings for each day, a brief meditation or excerpt from the writings or life of St. Paul of the Cross, and a concluding prayer. The meditations and prayers are also concise and leave a bit of room for pondering the message and to enter into dialogue with God.
This book is a great companion for those wishing to enter into a deeper prayer life and deeper spirituality during the Lenten period.

If St. paul of the Cross—paul Danei, founder of the passionists—were to accompany you through lent i’m sure he would come to you as you are and the world you live in as it is. He was never afraid of darkness or dark places, so you may find him a helpful spiritual guide. He trusted in Jesus Christ and his cross, “the wisdom and power of God.” I’m sure he may bring some of that wisdom to you. . . . from A Lenten Journey with Jesus Christ and St. Paul of the Cross
Inside you will find a short biography of St. paul of the Cross, a brief history of the passionists, a description of the Writings and Spirituality of St. Paul of the Cross, and prayers for every day of lent.
