LENTEN MEDITATIONS Journeying with Mary to Jerusalem, The Diary & The Way of the Cross

The package includes the book Lenten Meditations and The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus, two complementary resources that will help you follow Jesus and Mary closely, all the way to the cross.

Enter into the heart of Mary as she accompanies Jesus to Jerusalem

The book Lenten Meditations, written by Fr. Mark Toups, contains interesting reflections, prayers and other resources that will guide you through Lent day by day. Throughout Lent, you will be able to draw closer to Jesus Christ and experience firsthand his journey to Jerusalem from the perspective of the person who knows him best: Mary, his Blessed Mother. As you walk with Mary, your Lent will become an intimate journey in which you can share in her pain and love, bringing you closer than ever to the heart of Jesus.

Each day, in a few brief pages, Fr. Toups offers you aids to guide you in your prayer:

• A word: focus on a single word each day to be able to enter more deeply into the central theme of that week's readings.
• A reflection: read a brief reflection and meditate on the Scripture texts.
• A prayer hint: keep a spiritual journal every day. Write down your reflections and the movements of your heart, listening to everything that Our Lord and his Blessed Mother want to tell you this Lent.
  
  

Features:

• 192 pages, including lined space for your spiritual journal.
• Access to weekly videos presented by Fr. Mark Toups. With his experience and prayer, you will find interesting reflections on the Lenten liturgical readings.
• Never-before-published full-color illustrations by Mike Moyers to aid in your meditation.
• Weekly family resources offering concrete suggestions for walking toward Christ's resurrection together, as a family, and keeping this time of preparation centered on Jesus' saving love.
  

The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus

Experience the Way of the Cross like never before. More than meditating on Christ's path to the cross, pray with him.

Jesus, as an observant Jew, surely prayed the Psalms throughout the day and gained peace and strength from them.

In The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus, Fr. Mark Toups invites us to be closer to Jesus and to pray alongside him, drawing strength from Scripture during his final moments before the crucifixion.

• Each station consists of:
• A brief Scripture reading
• A brief meditation
• A Psalm to pray with Christ
