New Book of Holy Cross Reflections Focuses on Lent

An inspiring new collection of Holy Cross reflections is coming to bookstores. The Gift of the Cross: Lenten Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition follows on the success of The Cross, Our Only Hope, published last year. The Lenten meditation book features daily reflections by members of the Holy Cross community. They have their finger on the pulse of Holy Cross spirituality and apostolic activity; the stories emerge from the ministry of priests, brothers, and sisters, including Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and Sister Mary Ellen Vaughn, C.S.C.

The vision of the 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 book is perfectly suited for use during the Lenten season through wide distribution in parishes, schools, universities and many other settings. It may be ordered through Ave Maria Press.
