My favorite Lenten re- read is "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" from the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich.

I "liked," but a shout-out to GloriaTibiDomine, for alerting us to this, as I was looking for Lenten reading. It led me also to another book of his which I hadn't known about. (I read
Imitation as a teenager and, like many other people, assumed it was his only writing.)

I usually read through "The Sermons of St. Francis de Sales for Lent" that can be purchased in paperback and kindle format on Amazon. The book provides a series of sermons for certain days of lent (ash Wednesday, first Sunday of Lent etc.) I would note that the sermons are not for everyday and are all quite dense, so that should be noted depending on how one prefers to do their spiritual reading. I usually have other shorter material for daily meditation that I will put to the side on days where one of his sermons apply. I've done this every lent for the past three or four years and I'm always surprised how much new insight I am able to acquire from Geneva's most famous Bishop. On more then one occasion I have thrown out something I have picked up from a sermon in that book and inadvertently made myself appear far wiser then I could ever hope to be.
