Appendix
Bibliography
This Lenten companion is intended to ignite ideas and fresh thoughts about forty episodes of the passion of our Lord. It offers a “station” every day throughout Lent—Sundays are omitted, of course—from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. The non-canonical material contained here is the result of the author’s “reading between the lines” of the Gospel narratives and is meant to help the pilgrim focus more clearly on the events we recall ceremonially during Holy Week.
The Gospels give us only the essential details of the passion because a meticulous report of the proceedings is not the intention of the evangelists, who are concerned primarily with our Lord’s teaching and in establishing, in the light of the resurrection, who he is and how he fulfills God’s promise of a Savior. However, 2,000 years later we find it helpful to enter more fully into these events in order to feel something of the horror and trauma experienced by Jesus and those around him, and so grasp more easily the impact of his teaching and how our salvation was secured.
In reflecting on these daily episodes, the pilgrim can explore fresh and personal paths of contemplation by giving his or her mind free rein throughout the forty days.
To complete each session, a prompt or two is given to aid further self-examination or intercession before the more formal suggested prayers. An expanded Paternoster is given in the Appendix as an aid to fuller intercession.
The translation of the Holy Bible used in this book is the Catholic Edition of the Revised Standard Version, which, in the author’s view, is still the best. In the text, quotations from the RSV are given in italics, but transliterations, conjectural speech, and the author’s translations are given in Roman type.
The present tense is frequently employed in this book to give immediacy to the narrative.
