The Little Black Book: Lent 2025

Meditations on the Passion According to John

By: Bishop Ken Untener

Narrated by: Brenda Piazza, Eric Bessette

In this time of waiting and anticipation, prepare your heart by spending time with God each day of Lent. The Little Black Book guides you through this season with short devotionals that will inspire you. This year's Lent book focuses on the Passion according to John's Gospel, and begins March 2, 2025.

Little Books of the Diocese of Saginaw is a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging people to pray for 6 minutes a day during the liturgical seasons.

Conceived and developed by the late Bishop Ken Untener of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan, the Little Black Book debuted in 2000 as a Lenten reflection and quickly became a staple for individuals and congregations throughout the Midwest. As demand grew, so too did Little Books, which now includes the Little Blue Book for the Advent/Christmas season and the Little White Book for the Easter season, along with titles for Stewardship and children, and other writings.

Each Little Book is faithfully written to correspond with seasonal themes and features daily scriptural-based lessons along with interesting facts about Catholic traditions, saints, notable people and symbolism.
