Lent is coming!

I came out of hibernation to issue this alert: Lent is coming! That's right, back home in New Orleans, it is full-on Mardi Gras season, so Ash Wednesday is less than two weeks away.

Which leads to the question: What are you reading for Lent?

I would like to suggest one of my community's newest publications, one that is getting thoughtful reviews all over the place: MYSTERION: The Revelatory Power of the Sacramental Worldview.

I'll list the links here so you can get a sense of the book. I'm recommending it for Lent because Lent is a season for refining our sense of the presence of God, recognizing the ways God communicates with us nonstop through creation and the people and events of our lives. And that's part and parcel of the "sacramental worldview" in the subtitle. 

Here is the link for the United States  and for Canada (Canadian author!) use this link. Everybody else, just go ahead and use, you know.

Read all about it:

Or listen, if that's what you do:

Cultural Debris:
Listen to this episode from Cultural Debris on Spotify. Father Harrison Ayre is one of the co-hosts of the podcast Clerically Speaking. I definitely recommend it as it is a favorite of mine. Father Harrion’s new book is Mysterion: The Revelatory Power of The Sacramental Worldview. We discuss the idea of sacramentality, the dangers of modernity and acedia, and the benefits of the Marian stance. Cultural Debris Patreon - Support the podcast! Fr.
