Many paths lead to Easter – has been written by author Fr Andy Hamilton sj. Widely known for his contribution to our faith as a theologian, teacher, and writer, Andy has chosen to explore the many paths we take on our Easter journey, inviting us to let memory be our guide.
[Lent} is a personal journey in which we are encouraged to remember the times we have been struck with wonder and gratitude at God’s love for us and at the world that Jesus opens to us … [While] our journey with Jesus through Lent is a personal passage, it is not a solitary or individualistic one … We do not walk alone, but in company with our fellow Christians – both in our local churches as well as the whole crowd of followers whom Christ has gathered together in the Church. The readings and prayers of Lent [bring us together] as we follow Jesus on his mission and path to Easter.
This bumper edition includes reading excerpts for Year C, discussion around these readings, poetry, prayer, Reflection Starters suitable for individuals or groups to prompt reflection and dialogue, and readings for Sundays, Passion Week, and the Easter Liturgies. The author’s beautiful and evocative prose is supported by a mix of sumptuous iconic historical artwork and images of today.
