Everyone’s Way of the Cross

The Gift of Hope Advent and Christmas Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition

CLARENCE ENZLER ILLUSTRATED BY ANNIKA NELSON AND GERTRUD MUELLER NELSON Clarence Enzler’s Stations of the Cross booklet has been given new vibrancy with beautiful, meditative, commissioned woodcuts by Annika Nelson and her mother Gertrud Mueller Nelson. Enzler’s simple, intimate, and powerful words invite readers to grow closer to Christ by embracing the mystery of suffering in the world. By joining Christ on this transformative journey, we learn to become his disciples—his other self—to a hurting world.

EDITED BY ANDREW GAWRYCH, C.S.C. In the wake of The Cross, Our Only Hope and The Gift of the Cross, this accessible Advent resource offers a scripture verse and brief reflection for each day of Advent and the Christmas season and makes an affordable introduction to the spiritual themes of the Holy Cross tradition. Contributors to The Gift of Hope include Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., Joel Giallanza, C.S.C., Mary Ellen Vaughan, C.S.C., and Mary Ann Pajakowski, C.S.C. This resource is ideal for use in parishes and schools during the Advent and Christmas season, and because it is not associated with any particular calendar year, it can be used perennially.

Reflections during Advent (eBook) Dorothy Day on Prayer, Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience

DOROTHY DAY In his September 2015 speech to the United States Congress, Pope Francis credited American journalist Dorothy Day (1897–1980), cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement, for her deep faith and social activism. Day’s devotion to her Catholic faith and its traditions reverberated through a series of four reflections published during Advent 1966 in the Ave Maria magazine, a Catholic weekly founded in 1865 by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C. These reflections—on prayer, poverty, chastity, and obedience— are available for the first time as an eBook collection with a reader’s guide and are as important today as they were fifty years ago.

48 pages, $4.99, Only available as a eBook.
