A Companion for a Lenten Journey


Pilgrim Road: A Benedictine Journey through Lent, Albert Holtz, O.S.B. New York: Morehouse Publishing, 2006. ISBN 978-0-8192-2251-0.

The book is a collection of reflections, one for each non-Sunday during the season of Lent. The author kept a journal, both of his writing and his pencil sketches, during a traveling sabbatical. The reflections draw together the season of Lent, his experiences in various locales around the world, a passage from the Scriptures, and usually a selection from The Rule of St. Benedict. One part of each reflection asks questions, which I found helpful as a guide for writing in my journal. I would recommend the book for your journey through Lent next year.
