Pardon My Lenten Smile

Daily Lenten reflections
by Fr. Mike Manning

Over 30 years ago, I wrote a book entitled Pardon My Lenten Smile. The book sold well. Through the years several people have told me how they still read the book each Lent. And they inevitably ask, “Why don’t you write another Lenten Smile?”

Well, here it is…finally! I hope the book blesses you. I’ve written it with great love for Jesus and for you. If your reading helps you to love Jesus more, you’ll give me a big Lenten smile!
– Fr. Mike

Fifteen Faces of God

“There are times in our lives, and especially in the life of our country, when we are all enduring unusual stress. This book gives us reason to hope. Michael Manning is a gifted writer and has the gentle ability to reach into the human heart, especially the hurting heart, and bring comfort and healing and hope, a hope that comes from the reality that God is nearby, and that in spite of what some cynics may say, he does enter into our lives and delicately arranges things so we find ourselves on a peaceful, sunny shore, far from the troubled waters where we were sure we would drown.” Fr. Joseph F. Girzone
