Ladder Of Divine Ascent

Reading Schedule for 2022

ATRADITIONAL LENTEN practice in the eastern churches is to read St John’s Ladder of Divine Ascent bit by bit through the Fasting Season. (There’s a PDF here.) Although our Western Lent is a couple of days shorter, it can be done. Here’s a reading schedule if you’d like to read along. Although these are divided into two portions each day, one each for Morning and Evening prayer, you can read in any way that works for you. Please note that while it is available for Kindle, that edition doesn’t seem to have the paragraph “verse” numbers in that edition. The edition from Paulist Press (which I might otherwise prefer) also does not seem to have the verse numbers.

Edited in on 2 March. The following schedule actually makes more sense: it starts earlier so as to allow for the readings to end on Wednesday of Holy Week and also to not-read on Sundays (traditionally not part of Lenten disciplines). I’m going to catch up to this one.
