Lent of Antiphons

Many Benedictine Oblates use the Monastic Diurnal to pray their Daily Offices. In Lent, each day has particular antiphons written for it at Lauds and Vespers. Each antiphon is a short verse, or an allusion to a verse from the Gospel reading for the Sunday that begins each week. This little collection of Reflections arises from Lectio Divina on these antiphons and it is hoped that they will allow the reader to find some assistance in the practice of devotion during Lent.
