** Suitable for online learning and study ** At its heart, the Oscar and BAFTA-nominated film The Two Popes is not about Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI. It is about two men, who happen to be religious figures, exploring a number of themes that are at the heart of being human, of faith and belief: ‘the journey’, listening, change, mercy, loneliness and love. The Glorious Journey provides an opportunity to watch The Two Popes with such themes in mind; to read, reflect and discuss what we can learn from it about human nature and values. Liam Kelly opens each of the six chapters with a suggestion of a short clip from the film to watch, then provides thought-provoking reflections, including questions to prompt your own response. Each chapter ends with a prayer. The Glorious Journey is designed to be used individually or as part of a regular group discussion. It could be adapted for use as the basis of a seasonal course for Lent or Advent.

Lent in 50 Moments comprises meditations on fifty daily moments – ideas, objects, or happenings frozen in time – offered as signposts and guidance for our Lenten journey. The moments have been chosen by Liam Kelly, who has written a reflection for every day, and a question for prayerful response. He has also chosen a quotation to prompt further thought, and provides biblical references for each day’s readings at Mass in the Catholic Church. Each of the fifty moments has been skilfully illustrated by artist Ted Harrison. The book as a whole provides a unique, stimulating and visually memorable companion for faith and reflection during Lent and Eastertide.
