As he explains about these works:
Lent and the Our Father
"All of us know the words of the Our Father, but how many of us realize their meaning? That meaning is so deep we can never learn it all. Every word and every phrase of the prayer taught us by Our Lord Himself is full of importance. During this Lent we propose to point out the beautiful meaning of the Our Father."

Lent and the Capital Sins
"We call these [pride, avarice, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth] the seven capital sins because each is a source and seed from which all other sins proceed. They are the seven principal devils who deal out spiritual death. They are the seven principal diseases of the soul, the causes of all spiritual sickness. Christ drove them out of Mary Magdalen; He will drive them out of us, as we come into His Eucharistic presence during these Lenten days of penance and prayer. May the love of Christ drive out these seven sources of sin—His greatest enemies and our greatest enemies."

REVIEWS
Fr. Scott Haynes
Priests often receive the question, “Father, can you recommend a good book for Lent?” Thanks to Romanitas Press, priests can point readers to Fr. Arthur Tonne’s Talks for Lent. The book is a series of Lenten meditations upon the Lord’s Prayer and the Capital Sins. These bitesized meditations on the Lord’s Prayer help unravel its rich layers of meaning and its relevance to the Lenten journey. The second half of the book addresses the Capital Sins, offering an examination of these vices in light of Lenten penance and repentance. Fr. Tonne’s approachable yet profound writing style helps readers understand the nature of these sins and the importance of overcoming them through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Fr. Tonne’s Talks for Lent will be a trusted guide for the Lenten pilgrim.
