A perfect resource for Passion Sunday and Good Friday, every aspect of these beautifully designed books contributes to a dignified proclamation of the Word.
Arranged to accommodate three or more readers, the Passion narratives of all four gospels appear as in the Lectionary for Sundays and Solemnities (2009 edition).
These handsomely-bound hard cover books retain all the decorum of the Lectionary, yet are light enough to be easily held with one hand.

IN THE NEWS

This year, Pope Benedict XVI has chosen the great theme of justice for his Lenten reflections.
Citing St Paul’s third letter to the Romans : “The justice of God has been manifested through faith in Jesus Christ” (cf. Rm 3, 21-22). The Holy Father calls upon the faithful to be strengthened through the example of Christ and ‘moved to contribute to creating just societies, where all receive what is necessary to live according to the dignity proper to the human person and where justice is enlivened by love’ (For the full text of the Holy Father’s message)
The importance of recognizing and addressing the social consequences of our failings is also one of the main guidelines for Lent in the 2010 Ordo. Those wishing to prepare for the Paschal mysteries through prayer and a heightened attention to the word of God, will find a number of resources and links available through the CCCB website.

It is with much joy that the Bishops of Canada welcome the 19 February 2010 announcement by Pope Benedict XVI of the canonization of Brother André.
Brother André lived his life with great humility. Guided by a deep faith and devotion to Saint Joseph, he dedicated his life to praying, serving the poor, welcoming strangers, healing the sick and comforting the suffering. To this day, his memory remains an important witness to all Canadians of faith and love.
