Triumph
An 88-page full colour book from the Diocese of Wollongong (240x170mm) containing short daily reflections (from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday) perfect for individual devotional reading in addition to the longer-form Sunday Scripture readings and reflections, prayers and questions that traditionally form part of Lenten group gatherings.
From Ashes to Hope
This book of reflections from the Archdiocese of Brisbane will nourish and nurture prayer each day during Lent and into the first week of Easter.
The daily reflections will invite the reader to contemplate a verse from the Scripture reading of the day. This reflection will be followed by a quote from Pope Francis and a simple prayer.

Great Lent
A free video series presented by Ukrainian Catholic priest Fr David Anderson. Living liturgically goes beyond a mere awareness of the Church's feasts and seasons—it entails a sincere effort to enter into the divine mysteries made present to us at each moment. Rediscover the richness of Lent as we explore its intrinsic connection to Easter, the "Feast of Feasts" that animates the entire liturgical life of the Church.
