Via Cordis: The Way of the Heart is a contemplative devotional that follows a quiet traveler through the sacred landscape of Lent — not as a straight road, but as a winding path that invites attention, surrender, and trust. Each short chapter mirrors a day in the Lenten season, beginning at Ash Wednesday and moving through the stillness, resistance, turning, and deepening that shape the weeks until Easter. The journey unfolds symbolically: sometimes on a narrowing path, sometimes in open spaces, sometimes in a heavy silence, and sometimes in light that arrives gently rather than dramatically. As Holy Week approaches, the setting shifts from inward reflection to the shared human story of love that remains present through misunderstanding, grief, and loss. From the table on Maundy Thursday, to the long staying of Good Friday, to the breath-held stillness of Holy Saturday, the narrative carries readers into Easter morning not as an escape from sorrow, but as a transformation that has passed through it. This is not a guide to “getting Lent right.” It is an invitation to stay. Written in lyrical, prayerful prose, Via Cordis is designed for daily reading, quiet reflection, and personal or group devotional use. It is especially suited for those who long for a deeper interior spiritual journey and who seek a Lent marked not by achievement but by faithful presence. This is a book for walkers of the inward road. For those who have waited. For those learning how to remain.
