Synopsis
In the view of St. Benedict of Nursia, the Lenten journey is aninner pilgrimage with Christ into the deepest parts of ourselves, tobe marked not so much by external observances such as fastingand self-denial as by a deepening of our relationship with God.Benedictine monk Albert Holtz develops that journey themethrough meditations written during a fifteen-country pilgrimageduring a sabbatical year. At the heart of each reflection is thelesson it teaches about our inner spiritual journey.By applying Benedict's monastic wisdom to the everydayconcerns and aspirations of modern Christians, Pilgrim Roadhelps contemporary spiritual seekers keep Lent as a positive, meaningful, and fruitful experience.
