The Little Black Book for Lent

A popular book that is based on the writings of Bishop Ken Untener, and, organized by Catherine Haven, is available from

Little Books of the Diocese of Saginaw, Inc.
P.O. Box 6009
Saginaw, MI 48608
(989) 797 6606

For example, tomorrow's entry with Scripture of Mark's Gospel, chapter 1:14, reminds the reader that March 2nd is the tenth day of Lent.

"Voluntary fasting from foood creates in us a greater openness to God's Spirit and deepens our compassion for those who are forced to go without food," the United States Catholic Bishops are quoted.

Six minutes a day is prescribed with some quiet time with the Lord each day.

My own trek thorugh Lent seems enriched with the reflections of this revered leader, Kenneth Untener, who grew up in Detroit before he was named a bishop of Saginaw, MI.
