We are delighted to announce that the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong is now taking orders for Hope – Lenten Program 2017 Book and Triple CD Resource.
Continuing the tradition from past years, Hope is a weekly program, primarily for group use, based on the Sunday Scripture readings during Lent (Year A) following on from the Year of Mercy – as where there is mercy, there is hope.
We are blessed to have secured the wisdom of Mr Shane Dwyer (Director of the National Centre for Evangelisation for the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference) and Sr Hilda Scott OSB (Vocations Director, Jamberoo Abbey) to lead us in our reflections for Lent.
As explained by Shane: "The program invites us to focus again on what is at the heart of our faith: the hope that we hold in the redemption won for us, and the reorientation of purpose offered to us in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus. The more we allow the grace of redemption into our lives, the more we become true sons and daughters of God: witnesses to the hope we have and the living proclamation of the truth that God loves the world so much that he sent his son that all may be saved."
Hope also features beautiful religious artworks from the Masters such as Duccio, Fra Angelico, El Greco and Velázquez, with enlightening "Artwork Spotlight" reflections (for personal reading during the week) written by the ever-popular Fr Graham Schmitzer PP.

TRIPLE CD RESOURCE
The program is accompanied by a Triple CD resource that includes audio narrations of the Scripture readings by Jude Hennessy (Journey Catholic Radio) and audio narrations of the reflections narrated by Shane Dwyer and Sr Hilda Scott.
The CD Resource also contains the Sunday Psalms for Lent beautifully put to contemporary music by Wollongong's Catholic Music Revolution, as well as more traditional versions of the psalms by Mr Paul Mason. Groups are invited to select which version of the psalm suits their particular group dynamic.
