Excerpt from Quadragesima or Thoughts for Each Day in Lent
Definiteness of aim is as important in religion as in other things. To strengthen and deepen the spiritual life not only for forty, but for all the days, is the true purpose of Lent. To accomplish this, by composing the mind, by fixing it on some high and worthy object, by more faithful use of all the means of grace - in a word, by being still and communing with God - should be our aim.
It is one, and one only, among instrumentalities such as these, but believed by the author and compiler of this little manual to be an effective and helpful one, to have some definite devotional reading for each of the Forty Days, progressively in keeping, in sentiment, and spirit, with the season as it advances, to guide and direct the thoughts.
