Last Sunday I spoke about the value in reading something for Lent – in giving time for God and in widening our horizons.  Some asked me to put up the books I mentioned and so here they are…

The Mystery of the Cross By  Basil Hume

Darton,Longman & Todd Ltd   £16.93

A profound collection of meditations and reflections on the cross. They speak of the mystery of suffering and the mystery of God’s love shown particularly in the death and resurrection of Christ. Drawing on the liturgy of the Church, especially the Easter liturgy, Cardinal Hume reminds us that Christ shared our pain and that ‘our suffering brings us closer to Christ and closer to God.’
