Church Father Lenten Reading Plan Logo

This is a shorter and lighter version of our Church Fathers Lenten Reading Plan. To follow the plan, simply read the designated excerpts on the appropriate days during the Lenten Fast (the season of Lent, minus Sundays). Writings are available from New Advent or you may click on our compilation of Lenten readings. Our compilation contains the full reading plan, so to follow the Lite Plan you will not be reading all of the works in the compilation. The whole set of the Church Fathers' writings may be ordered inexpensively in print by visiting this link: The Early Church Fathers: 38 Volumes. For a printer-friendly version of this Lite plan click: Church Fathers Lenten Reading Plan LITE (.pdf).
