FEASTS OF OUR FATHERS
Praying the Church Year with the Early Christians
— Mike Aquilina and Adam Lucas
What better rule for organizing your prayer life than the Church’s ancient liturgical calendar? And what better guide to unpacking the riches of that Catholic rhythm of seasons and feasts than the Fathers of the Church?
Feasts of Our Fathers is a one-stop companion for praying and meditating through the holy days and seasons with help from the wisdom of the Fathers. Mike Aquilina and Adam Lucas have combed through countless volumes of patristic texts to curate a collection of pithy passages from the holy writers and leaders of the early Church that will enrich your experience of Lent, Advent, major solemnities as well as lesser-known feasts, and more.
Combining these passages with suggested prayers, insights, and interesting facts and lessons about the development of Catholic traditions and practices, Feasts of Our Fathers will take your prayer life — and your sense of solidarity with the Church, past and present — to a new level.
