The Cries of Jesus From the Cross
Come to the foot of the Cross with Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen and fall in love with Jesus and Mary all over again. This book will grow on you and will quickly become your daily Lenten Companion. May I recommend that you order a copy from Sophia Institute Press before Lent begins on February 18, 2026 and follow along with our 2026 Lenten Reading Guide below.
