For the Christian, Lent means an opportunity to banish
ignorance, to deaden lust, to enrich the poor, to defend children, to make decent medical care
as globally ubiquitous as Coca-Cola, and to end many world catastrophes. Mortification guides
our imagination and memory by keeping away useless or harmful thoughts, and it may also help
control the tongue from useless and frivolous conversations or gossip. All of these topics and
many, many more are presented in an informative and entertaining fashion in these thoughtful
reflections for the weekdays of Lent. They are ideal for homilists as well as for the average
person in the pew.
Harold A. Buetow, PhD, JD is the author of Pastoral Talks for
Special Ocassions (Alba House, 1994), along with two very highly-acclaimed trilogies of
homily reflections: one on the Readings for the Sundays and Holy Days of the Liturgical Year
(Alba House, 1997) God Still Speaks: Listen! (Cycle A),
All Things Made New (Cycle B), and Ode to Joy (Cycle C); and another on the Weekdays
in Ordinary Time (Alba House, 2002): Thirst for Life (Weeks 1-9), The New Out of the Old (Weeks 10-21), and
Rejoicing in Hope. A priest of the Diocese of Brooklyn, he spent thirty years at
Catholic University where he taught and was Senior Staff Editor on The New Catholic
Encyclopedia.
