Readings for Lent 2023

For many in the Christian world the observance of Lent in preparation for Easter is an important time.

In respect for this tradition, attached are two PDF files for a reading of the Gospels during Lent:

-- One is reading the Gospels in the order they occur, from the first of Matthew to the end of John.

-- The other is a reading of the Gospels in the order of events, as best as can be determined. There are many of these 'harmonies'. Unfortunately because the Gospels themselves don't give the same stories in the same order (probably because of the internal sense of each which is different), it isn't always easy to marry the narrative. But if one is wondering what story happened when, this is will give a somewhat accurate picture. If you just want to read what happens from Palm Sunday to Easter morning, that is clearly noted.

Note:  Some of the formatting in Excel did not copy well into Google Files. 
My apologies, but should still be workable.
