A Stations of the Cross in the company of modern martyrs who followed the Lord faithfully and with courage to their own Mount Calvary.

These meditations on the Way of the Cross are an invitation to reflect on the passion of Jesus in the light of the fact that so many Christians today continue to pay the ultimate price for their fidelity to the faith. By reflecting on the ‘martyrs of our times’, we seek to enter into prayerful solidarity with all Christians who suffer for their faith. 

About the author: Canon Benedict Fee is parish priest of Clonoe, Co. Tyrone in the Archdiocese of Armagh.

Reflections on the Weekday Gospel Readings for the Liturgical Year 2025–26.

It is hoped that these reflections will serve as a help to personal prayer. Parish prayer groups may also find them helpful. They may also be of service to priests who seek to offer a short reflection on the readings of the day at the daily Eucharist. Where there is a weekday Liturgy of the Word in the absence of a priest, they can be read as a reflection on the readings. On most weekdays, the same readings are proclaimed in the Church throughout the world. To read and reflect upon the readings for the weekdays of the liturgical year is to go on a spiritual journey with the universal Church.

Reflections on the Sunday Readings for the Year of Matthew.

It is my hope that these reflections will help people of faith to listen to the word of the Lord, as the Church puts it before us in the Sunday readings for cycle A of the liturgical year. They come from my own efforts to listen prayerfully to the word of the Lord in the circumstances of my own life as a disciple of the Lord and a priest in a Dublin parish. Everyone who takes up this book could write a different set of reflections based on their own personal listening to the Lord’s word. As the Syrian Saint Ephrem, the renowned theologian-poet from the fourth century, wrote, ‘God has hidden in his word all kinds of treasures, so that each one of us, wherever we meditate, may be enriched by it. His utterance is a tree of life, which offers you blessed fruit from every side’.
