Timely Lenten reflections on temptation, riches, and the mercy that can change a life.
This collection gathers the Lenten sermons of Augustine Wirth, presenting forebears of spiritual counsel and vivid parables about sin, repentance, and the search for true treasure. The readings illuminate how desire, pride, and deceit can twist a life, and how grace and resolve can transform choices in the face of temptation.
Through stories and practical guidance, readers are invited to examine their own hearts, consider the consequences of money and power, and learn concrete steps for resisting temptation—especially during Lent. The sermons emphasize inner resolve, the role of confession, and the courage to pursue virtue one hour at a time.
