The Long Journey to the Resurrection: Reflections for Lent

The Jesuit Institute has again produced a book of daily reflections to help Catholics journey through Lent well.

Titled The Long Journey to the Resurrection, the reflections were written by Fr Nicholas King SJ, a long-standing columnist of The Southern Cross, and Dr Annemarie Paulin-Campbell of the Jesuit Institute.

The reflections are available as a book, audiobook, or daily WhatsApp message, and are based on the readings of the day. There are also aids to personal reflection and prayer.

The text covers from Ash Wednesday (February 14) to the 2nd Sunday of Easter, the feast of Divine Mercy (April 8).

The book and audiobook cost R100 each (plus p&p). The daily WhatsApp subscription costs R80.

For children, there is a book entitled Jesus My Friend, A Book of Lenten Reflections for Children by Paulina French. The book and audiobook (read by children) cost R80 each (plus p&p).
