I like Fire in the Cloud for my daily meditations. There is also the Fr Groeschel one with daily meditations. The name is escaping me right now.
On top of that, I try to read one spiritual book, something different each year.

I really love Fr. Groeschel's Lenten book as well. Is is called The King, Crucified and Risen
Actually I love everything I've read by him. I feel as though I'm receiving advice from a very loving grandfather.

I read Happy Are You Poor by Thomas Dubay recently and thought it would be a good Lenten read. His book Fire Within would qualify as well, though thicker.

I highly recommend: WHAT JESUS SAW FROM THE CROSS
For Lent, I think I am going to work harder to get through Saint Augustine's Confessions. God "told" me to read once after mass  ........ and Saint A is my saint for the year!

I am planning on rereading The Little Way of the Infant Jesus (formerly Wood of the Cradle, Wood of the Cross) by Carryll Houselander and I Believe in Love by Jean C.J. d'Elbee.

Oh, and the Bible.......I have been trying to increase my reading of the Bible....book by book, not necessarily in order.......with a journal nearby. I hope to step it up in Lent!
