Prayer a Day for Lent
Imprimatur, 1944, 48 page booklet.
By Rev. Albert A Murray, C.S.P.
A devotional arranged to accompany the faithful through the entire season of Lent, from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday. Each day presents a carefully chosen Scripture verse from the Mass, followed by a prayer drawn from approved and time-honored Catholic sources—saints, Church fathers, theologians, and well-known spiritual writers. The prayers are concise yet rich, encouraging reflection on repentance, humility, trust in God’s will, perseverance, and deeper union with Christ during the penitential season.
Fr. Murray has compiled a treasury of classic Catholic prayers that reflect the liturgical rhythm and spiritual demands of Lent. Reverent, and deeply pastoral, this small booklet is well suited for daily personal prayer, quiet reading, or use alongside the liturgy. This devotional emphasizes sacrifice, interior conversion, and fidelity to Christ’s Passion, guiding the reader steadily toward the mysteries of Holy Week and the hope of the Resurrection.
