The Passion and the Cross – Revealing Secrets Hidden Since the Beginning of Time
At the heart of our faith lies the mystery of Jesus’ Passion and death on a cross. It is not so much that we misunderstand this mystery but rather that we do not probe deeply enough into its richness. What are the deep “secrets” and “truths” revealed in the passion and death of Jesus? How are we saved through this mystery? How does the “Lamb of God” take away the sins of the world and wash us clean with his blood? Parsing the paschal mystery.

Journey with us as a community with Make Room for Lent: Daily Reflections, Actions, and Prayers by Fr. Joseph F. Sica.
An excerpt from the introduction:
Lent is a prime time to make room for life and give every day a chance. When we prepare to leave this world, we want to be at peace and know we've made a difference. I offer practical and motivating reflections to help you realign your priorities and uncover a real and understandable approach to daily living.
I offer suggestions about "how to" and "what to" pursue so that you can bring the results into your life and finally set free the person you are deep inside. I hope that you will also discover a new spring in your step, recognize your magnificence, and find new meaning in your relationship with God.
