Lent

So in the few minutes before I have to run to class, I thought I would pose a question: What would be some good reading for Lent? Just within these last few years I have realized I should add something to Lent rather than just giving up something. Any suggestions on spiritual reading would be great. Thanks!

I was just thinking that same thing earlier today! Hannah says that Divine Mercy in my Soul is good, and she's probably right. I don't know of anything really lenten-oid, but I look forward to seeing what everyone else says.

Some other thoughts:

Fr. Benedict Groeschel reflections... maybe he has a book specifically for Lent?

The new book by our Pope... I think it has something to do with the revolution of love. I think the name is "God's Revolution"

Pick a saint to read up on during Lent.

Choose an encyclical to spend more time reflecting on. Read a little bit every day.

Read the Psalms or one of the letters by St. Paul.

Those are the ideas that come immediately to mind.
