From The Cross To The Empty Tomb

Lenten Journey with Jesus

Walk alongside the people who were present during Jesus' final hours and reflect on your own relationship with Him.

In this moving Lenten devotional, Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli invites readers to consider the different people who encountered Jesus during His Passion. At times, we may recognize ourselves in Peter, Judas, Simon, Mary Magdalene, or Our Lady—each revealing a different response to Christ and His love.

Through these reflections, readers are invited to enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ's Passion and develop a greater appreciation for God's eternal saving love.

What Is This?

This 96-page Lenten book is a collection of reflections that guides you through the final hours of Jesus' earthly life by looking at the people who accompanied Him.

Bishop Serratelli uses their experiences to encourage readers to reflect on their own faith, choices, struggles, and relationship with Christ during the Lenten season.

How Is It Different?

Rather than simply recounting the events of Christ's Passion, this devotional invites you to see yourself in the people who were there.

You may identify with Peter's struggles one day, Mary Magdalene's devotion another, or another person's response to Jesus at a different point in your life. This personal approach makes the Passion story an opportunity for meaningful self-reflection and spiritual growth.

Why Is It for You?

This is a wonderful companion for anyone who wants to make Lent more prayerful and reflective.

It can help you:

• Reflect more deeply on the Passion of Jesus

• Examine your own relationship with Christ

• Understand the people surrounding Jesus during His final hours

• Grow in appreciation of God's saving love

• Prepare your heart for Holy Week and Easter

It also makes a thoughtful Lenten gift for family members, friends, parishioners, Bible study groups, and anyone looking for a meaningful devotional during Lent.
