The Seven Penitential Psalms: A Lenten Reading Series

Since the Sixth Century, Christians have prayed the Seven Penitential Psalms. Now, you can to: with Saint Augustine. Today, the Penitential Psalms are dispersed throughout the Church's liturgy, but there is still a particular Lenten character to them that lends them to spiritual reading during the most important season of penance of the year. In this little book, editor D. E. Barker has brought together meditations on the psalms, with Psalm 22, from St. Augustine, and divided them into brief meditations for each of the forty penitential days in Lent.
