Journal

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

This Lenten prayer journal by Fr. Mark Toups includes insightful reflections, prayers, and other resources to lead you through Lent day by day. Throughout Lent, you will draw closer to Jesus Christ and experience his journey to Jerusalem from the perspective of the person who knows him best: Mary, the Blessed Mother. By walking alongside Mary, your Lent will become an intimate journey where you’ll share in her sorrows and love, drawing ever closer to the heart of Jesus.

Each day, in a few short pages, Fr. Toups provides you with aids to help guide your prayer:

• A word - Focus on a single word each day to help you enter more deeply into the theme of that week’s readings.

• A reflection - Read a short reflection and meditate on Scripture.

• A prompt - Journal every day. Write down your thoughts and the stirrings in your heart as Our Lord and his Blessed Mother speak to you this Lent.
  
  

Features:

• 192 pages, including lined journal space.

• Access to weekly videos featuring Fr. Mark Toups. Through his wisdom and prayer, you will find fresh insights into the liturgical readings for Lent.

• Full-color original artwork by Mike Moyers to help you meditate.

• Family resources every week are a helpful way for you to journey toward Christ’s Resurrection together as a family and keep this season of preparation focused on Jesus’ saving love.

The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus

Experience The Way of the Cross as you never have before. Rather than meditating about Christ’s journey to the Cross, pray with him.

Jesus, as an observant Jewish man, would have prayed the psalms throughout the day and drawn strength and peace from them.

In The Way of the Cross: Praying the Psalms with Jesus, Fr. Mark Toups invites us to step closer to Christ and pray beside him, drawing strength from Scripture during his last moments before the Crucifixion.

• Each station features:

• A short reading from Scripture

• A brief meditation

• A psalm to pray with Christ
