At the Doors of Holy Lent
$31.00
At the end of the festive season of Christmas and Epiphany, a new period, the period of the Triodion, is foreshadowed. Each Sunday begins to prepare the faithful for the creative period of repentance of the Triodion, giving the constant principles, which perfect and inspire their spiritual struggle. The Immaculate Church, through the Gospel readings, presents examples of men -the grateful Leper, the Blind man of Jericho, Zacchaeus, the good and faithful Servant, the Canaanite woman, the Publican, the Prodigal Son, the Righteous on the right hand- who, through their words, deeds, and attitude, drew the attention of God upon them. They became the target of His visitation, and in a few moments, they covered centuries. Their attitude and words serve as examples of a befitting presentation with humility, gratitude, self-abasement, self-reproach, perseverance in prayer before the Holy of Holies. They make the conditions known so that the struggle of the faithful during Great Lent may be fruitful and so that they may not miss the opportunity to enter ‘with a joyful step’ into the life-giving Presence of the Risen Lord.
