Synopsis

An Invitation to Reflect and Pray During Lent and Eastertide

Year by year, our souls are formed by the forty days of Lent, the hosannas and despairs of Holy Week, the earth-shattering empty tomb, and the joyous fifty-day feast of Eastertide. We recognize our need for the Cross, we prepare to meet our risen Lord again—and we remember that death is not the end. The beauty of the gospel is simple but it is not small, so we put our hope in the love of God.

Eighth Day Prayers: Mercy for Lent and Eastertide calls us to a place of repentance and celebration as we journey from Ash Wednesday to Pentecost. This gentle yet powerful guide encourages us to pray with words taken from Scripture. Each entry features:

· a Scripture passage to usher you into God’s Word

· a brief reflection to take you deeper into the biblical text

· a Scripture-soaked prayer to conclude your quiet time and refocus your day

· and a calendar at the top of each page to help you find your place

We are all living in the eighth day: The day of Jesus’s resurrection. The day of new creation. The day in which the kingdom of God is “already here and not yet fulfilled.” Eighth Day Prayers invites us to draw closer to Him as we reflect on His mercy during these sacred seasons of Lent and Eastertide.
