Meditations for Lent
'Even three hundred years ago, believers found it difficult to sustain for forty days the proper Lenten spirit. That\'s why even then, countless Christians turned to the writings of Bishop Jacques-B\xc3\xa9nigne Bossuet (1627-1704), whose great piety and simple eloquence won him renown as one of the greatest preachers of his time. From Bishop Bossuet\'s sermons and spiritual writings, believers drew ever greater Lenten wisdom and strength. Now translator Christopher Blum has selected from Bishop Bossuet\'s voluminous works fifty brief but remarkably powerful meditations that complement the daily readings at Mass during the Lenten season, thus offering to us the perfect companion for a thoughtful and fruitful Lent. If you read and meditate briefly on just one of them each day in Lent, I guarantee that this good French bishop\'s eloquence will soon have you not merely remembering the events of Christ\'s journey to His Crucifixion; it will have you spiritually walking with Him on that journey . . . which is precisely what we are called to do in Lent! With Bossuet, this Lent you will find yourself saying, "O Jesus! I present myself to you to make my journey in your company. O my Savior, receive your traveler! Here I am ready, holding on to nothing. Let me go with You to the Father." That\'s the fire that should burn in the heart of all Christians. This Lent, let Bishop Bossuet enkindle it in yours. Among the Meditations: God Alone Suffices Pray to God in Secret The Truth and the Life Tempted in the Desert The Sign of Jonah Love Your Enemies This Is My Beloved Son And You Will Be Forgiven The Wicked Tenants In Spirit and in Truth The Silence of Christ Priest, Prophet, and King Our Life, a Journey to God The Great Commandment I Was Hungry and You Fed Me The Love of God for Repentant Sinners Up to Jerusalem God, the Life of the Soul The Witness of the Baptist The Raising of Lazarus Jesus Is Persecuted The True Messiah The Anointing The Betrayal The Eucharist The Passion The Brevity of Life Washed of Our Sins A Sign of Contradiction No Man Ever Spoke Like This Man The Entry of Our Lord into Jerusalem To Unite Ourselves with Christ 225pp'
The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross
' Few Christians can recall all Seven of Our Lord\'s Last Words on the Cross. Yet these "Seven Words"-brief sentences spoken by Him-give us Our Saviour\'s sacred parting instructions, messages intended not only for their few immediate hearers on the hill of Calvary, but spoken to all generations by way of Holy Scripture.

The Passion of Jesus
'The Passion of Jesus shows how every person in the world, whether he realizes it or not, is personally involved in the sufferings and death Jesus Christ. 478pp'
And Its Hidden Meaning
Crib to Cross
'"Crib to Cross" is a collection of beautiful meditations written over a hundred years ago with the young Catholic in mind. It has now become an excellent introductory guide to the world of meditation for beginners of all ages. Catholics who wish to start having a deeper spiritual life can find no better way to begin their journey than with this excellent work. It is profound yet concise and simple for all to follow. At every age and in every circumstance in our lives, we can relate to some aspect of the life of Christ as we follow Him from His Crib to His Cross."Meditation is a hard word. It generally implies the power of following our trains of reasoning, a power not ordinarily developed in early years. But the young can look and observe; they can watch a person\'s actions and follow a simple narrative of his life, especially if truthfully and vividly set before their eyes"?"Where the heart is pure, and the imagination unsullied, the quick wit of childhood, raised and helped by grace, is easily interested in such a Person and life as that of Jesus."-From the Preface of "Crib to Cross" 280pp'

50 Meditations on the Passion
'Archbishop Goodier published these 50 Meditations in 1925. In his author\xc2\xbfs preface he wrote \xc2\xbfThese notes were written a long time ago in Lent, 1909. At the time a certain religious, now dead, used often to speak with me about prayer, and about the labor she had experienced in prayer. I used to notice how easily she would fly along a line of contemplation if the tiniest suggestion were made to her, and several times I ventured to make such suggestions in the shape of points for meditation. The points here collected were written for this purpose. They were written for two only; but others who have seen them have found them useful and have asked that they may be printed. If they are a help to any in prayer, I can only be grateful to our Lord.\xc2\xbf 60pp'

Holy Week Gregorian Chant
The most important week for any Catholic is Holy Week. During that time, the Church wants us to reflect upon one of the greatest mysteries of our faith: the passion and death of our Blessed Lord. The Church over the centuries has assembled some of the greatest prayers and ceremonies to commemorate this great act of love of Jesus. And these prayers and ceremonies are all accompanied by beautiful psalms tones and sublime Gregorian chant that normally are only heard during that mournful week.
The new Gregorian Chant Holy Week Book was made by taking out those parts from the 1962 Liber Usualis that pertain to the entire week, beginning with the restored Palm Sunday ceremonies up to and including the Easter Vigil.
Thus, parishes with those interested in doing the offices of the Sacred Triduum, for example, can find this book most valuable in singing those offices on the last 3 days of Holy Week. And all the other sung ceremonies can be found in this book as well.
Sewn and bound with a hard cover durable binding. One ribbon marker was inserted in the book as a speedy reference locator. All the music is in Gregorian notation with the rubrics in English.
