Bridging The Seasons Of Lent And Easter
2018-03-12
MAITLAND, FL—For Christians,
there's a seeming chasm between the seasons of Lent and Easter, with two
apparently contradictory seasonal senses of sacrifice and joy.
Within the pages of Making
Lemonade ($21.49, paperback, 9781545624234; $9.99, e-book, 9781545626405), Anthony
Petracca bridges the seeming disconnect.
“Through biblical reflections
using various images, this book links Good Friday and Easter Sunday, showing
that believers who embrace Christ crucified discover the power of His
resurrection as they bear life's burdens on the way to the kingdom,” the
author and Catholic priest states.
Petracca notes that tragedy and
heartache fill the secular news.
“Believers, however, know that
Jesus has conquered,” he says. “By accepting a
share in His suffering, they not only triumph, but help bring His Kingdom to
their corner of our wounded world. All bear some cross in life. Jesus, in
carrying His, shows that following Him up Calvary always leads to the effective
resurrection power that not only moves us through life, but enables us to help
others as well.”
Anthony Petracca was ordained as a
priest in 1985 with a master's degreee in divinity. His previous book was SEEING AMERICA FIRST: TAKING THAT DREAM
DRIVING VACATION TO SEE OUR NATIONAL TREASURES.
