The Little Black Book for Lent 2015: Six-minute meditations on the Passion according to Luke

This Little Black Book is your companion for Lent. Itâ€™s an old-fashioned â€œvade mecumâ€ (pronounced vahday maykum). Thatâ€™s Latin for â€œtravel with meâ€ and was used to describe a book that was a constant companion â€“ perhaps a condensed book of prayers for traveling priests, or a handbook for quick reference â€“ something you could take with you anywhere.
The right-hand pages walk through Lukeâ€™s passion narrative, a few verses at a time, with explanations and reflections along the way. Itâ€™s an ancient way of praying the Scriptures â€“ called lectio divina.
The left-hand page has a variety of quotes, information, and timely thoughts. Treat it like a buffet table from which you can take what you like. (If pressed for time, go directly to the right-hand page and spend your time there.) On Sundays and on various left-hand pages, weâ€™ll especially call to mind the poor this Lenten season, remembering Pope Francisâ€™ words that â€œ(a)mong our tasks as witnesses to the love of Christ is that of giving a voice to the cry of the poor.â€
We wonâ€™t start reading the Gospels until Ash Wednesday. But weâ€™ll start the six-minute program on Sunday, February 15 (the Sunday before Ash Wednesday), which will give us three days to get ready for Lent.
