Dear Reflections readers,

Glory be to Jesus! This is the refrain of the Lenten Reflections from Higher Things as we hear of the glory of Jesus in His suffering and death for sinners. The Lenten Reflections begin with Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2012 and carry us through Holy Week (and an Easter surprise), April 8, 2012. We are also pleased to offer an additional format. Try the new "in line" PDF file, great for reading the Reflections on your computer or mobile device. As always, a printable booklet is available.
