Holy Week should be, insofar as possible, a time of recollection and prayer. To this end, reading one or other of the following books may be useful. It may help us enter more deeply into the mysteries we are celebrating and contemplating.

1. Commentary on Saint John the Apostle and Evangelist: Homilies 48-88 by St. John Chrysostom
2. What is Redemption? by Philippe de la Trinité
3. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper by Brant Pitre
4. The Crucifixion in Irish Art by Peter Harbison
5. Thomas Tallis: The Complete English Anthems by The Tallis Scholars, directed by Peter Phillips
