The Gift of the Cross: Lenten Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition

Following on the success of "The Cross, Our Only Hope," this Lenten meditation book offers a scripture verse and a brief, insightful reflection for each day starting Ash Wednesday, continuing through the Saturday after Easter. Each reflection is written by a member of the Holy Cross community and places a finger on the pulse of the congregations spirituality. Lenten wisdom and moving stories emerge from the ministry of priests, brothers and sisters including Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Mary Ellen Vaughan, C.S.C. The vision of the Holy Cross community shines through with themes of divine providence, dedication to the eucharistic fellowship and worship, education of both the mind and the heart, and an apostolic zeal to make God known, loved, and served. This affordable booklet is perfectly suited for use during the Lenten season through wide distribution in parishes, schools, universities, and many other settings.
