The Discipline of War / Nine Addresses on the Lessons of the War in Connection with Lent

A series of nine Lenten addresses that interprets the contemporary war as both an external discipline and an invitation to inward growth, treating themes such as the will, the body, the soul, the spirit, obedience, sorrow, bereavement, self-sacrifice, and victory. The author combines pastoral exhortation and theological reflection to argue that wartime sacrifices and anxieties can deepen prayer, strengthen moral purpose, and increase practical charity. An appended daily scheme supplies a meditation topic and a Scripture passage for each day of Lent to support individual devotion and disciplined spiritual practice.
