Pilgrim Road: A Benedictine Journey Through Lent

by Albert Holtz

Book Overview

In the view of St. Benedict of Nursia, the lenten journey is an inner pilgrimage with Christ into the deepest parts of ourselves, to be marked not so much by external observances such as fasting and self-denial as by a deepening of our relationship with God.

Pilgrim Road, A Benedictine Journey through Lent

PILGRIM ROAD, A Benedictine Journey through Lent, has been inspiring, helpful, insightful, and interesting. Would like each of my friends to avail themselves of this book.

Not just for Lent

This is a superb book which is a very easy read but packs a powerful punch. The various stories are very interesting and give a good insight into one monk's sabbatical year. The meditations and quotes from the Rule of St Benedict are very apt and tie in easily with the Mass readings of the day. But it is not just for Lent - Lent is not long enough to do justice to the book - it can turn into a life changing read. A wonderful book which I thoroughly enjoyed and have given as presents to a few friends.

A special journey with a new friend

This little book revolutionized my Lent and hopefully my life. I longed for the morning to come and go places with Father Albert...geographically and spiritually. He challenged me areas that I did not know the Holy Spirit needed to speak to. May you be blessed as I was.

Great book for Lent

Our church study group is using this book and we all love it. The traveling monk does a great job of immersing the reader into that particular place and the days study or reflection. The book is good for indivduals or groups.
