Description
Journey through Lent with our Compassio—Lenten Program 2026! Bulk discounts and GST-free options for Australian Catholic Religious Groups—starting at just $5.00 per copy!
This Lent, enter into the heart of compassio—to “suffer with”—a grace-filled invitation to stand with Christ and with one another. Let this beautifully designed, 76-page, full-colour companion guide you through daily reflections, Sunday Gospel readings and reflections, spiritual direction, prayers, and group discussion questions, all crafted to deepen your encounter with God’s mercy.
Enrich your experience with special features including artwork spotlights by the popular Monsignor Graham Schmitzer with an accompanying visio divina: a contemplative encounter with sacred art from masters such as Carracci, Giaquinto, Barrias, Collantes, Caravaggio, and Bouguereau; and a detailed examination of conscience and guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation to deepen your Lenten journey.
We are blessed to have on board Fr Joshua Whitehead, whose Gospel reflections open the Scriptures with clarity and pastoral warmth, and Therese Mills MGL, our spiritual director, who gently guides participants into a deeper experience of Christ’s compassionate presence.
The daily reflections have been prayerfully written by 20 clergy, religious, and lay contributors from across Australia and beyond. Compassio offers rich insights that invite, challenge, and console—ideal for both individual prayer and group study. Whether journeying alone or in community, Compassio provides the tools to rediscover hope, solidarity, and the healing love of Christ.
Let this beautiful program lead you into the compassionate heart of Jesus. Compassio is more than a book—it’s a shared pilgrimage into God’s mercy.
