Lent isn’t about training ourselves with prayer, fasting, and almsgiving so we are “good enough” to be worthy of God’s mercy. Instead, we practice these disciplines to more closely pattern our lives after the example Jesus set through his Cross and Resurrection.
In Turn to the Cross, each day from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday begins with a passage from the Liturgy of the Hours—a psalm, prayer, antiphon or response—followed by a short spiritual reflection, morning and evening prayers, and a question to ponder throughout the day. About five minutes a day is all we need as we turn to the Cross for healing, hope, and renewal.
Order the book for yourself or as a bulk purchase for your parish, school, and other organization.
Three minutes of prayer a day is all it takes to change your life for the better.
In Messages of Perseverance for Lent 2024, Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran offer practical, everyday wisdom for persevering in your journey of faith. They will help you develop the grit and tenacity needed to overcome trials and temptations. Even in the midst of hardship, they encourage you to grow in faith and rely on God’s strength as you persevere toward the joy of Easter.
For each day of Lent and Holy Week 2024, White and Corcoran offer a verse or two of scripture, a short reflection, and a simple prayer prompt that will help you draw closer to God. While each devotion can be completed in as few as three minutes, you’ll reap the comfort and inspiration the words bring throughout the day.
Perfect for a book study, small group discussion, parish-wide gift, or Lenten mission!
Are you concerned about empty pews and lackluster participation by families in parish life? Do you want to reverse a decades-long decline in church attendance?
Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran—authors of the bestselling book Rebuilt—have the answer: Make it all about Jesus. In Rebuilt Faith, you will learn that rebuilding and renewing faith starts with a nagging feeling that we want something more—more connectedness, more community, and more purpose. That’s the spark that leads to a flame that burns brightly around Jesus, the foundation of living and growing in faith.
Free companion videos and a downloadable discussion guide are available to help your group, parish, or organization dive deeper into the themes of the book.
