This book is for Christmas season 2015-2016. Each 24-hour day has 1,440 minutes. You’re asked to give six of those 1,440 minutes to prayer for the next 43 days. This Little Book will be your companion, and you can take it with you wherever you wish. You can write in it, tear out a page and put it in your pocket, get extra copies and mail them to friends or family members and have a sense of praying with them each day. The left-hand page is like a buffet table with a variety of thoughts about the Advent and Christmas seasons, the feast of the day, or various traditions and customs. The key is the right-hand page where we’ll reflect on the first reading assigned for the Mass each day. This will give many people a chance to reflect on and pray passages from the Old Testament that they may have seldom heard proclaimed or preached about at liturgy.

The left-hand page is like a buffet table with a variety of thoughts about the Advent and Christmas seasons, the feast of the day, or various traditions and customs. The key is the right-hand page. On that page each day (except Sundays), we’ll walk through the first part of Luke’s Gospel a little bit at a time.

Six minutes a day. That’s what you’re asked to give during these next 43 days – the 26 days of the Advent season, and the 17 days of the Christmas season. Each 24-hour day has 240 “six minute” packages. During the Advent and Christmas seasons, you’re asked to give one of those to the Lord.

You don’t change your life for an idea. You change your life for a person. This Advent, don’t get caught up in the busyness. Don’t get lost in the anxiety of preparing for a day. Joyfully anticipate the coming of the person of Jesus through an encounter with his Most Blessed Mother. Imagine having an Advent that is more peaceful, more joyful, and more meaningful than ever before. The Rejoice! Advent Meditations with Mary Journal not only lets you walk beside Mary during the first Advent, but also lets you get to know her in a way you haven’t before. Rejoice! offers more than insights and information about Mary’s life—it offers an opportunity for you to encounter Mary in the quiet of your heart. Each day, in a few short pages, Fr. Toups provides you with aids to help guide your prayer: A word - Focus on a single word each day to draw out the details, the specifics of who Our Lady is. A reflection - Learn more about Mary, the culture in which she was raised, and the world in which she lived. A Psalm - Each day, you’re given a Psalm to pray (just as Mary herself would have prayed) to help you enter into prayer. A reading - In reading Scripture, you find the Word of God, bringing you closer to Mary, who carried the Word in her body. A prompt - Space is provided each day to journal. Record how the Lord is speaking to you
The Course of Our Seasons is filled with angelic messages that await only our awareness. Even the mundane is rendered sacred in the fullness of love's journey. Brilliant, sensitive, accessible... Dr. Jim Young, AWARE IN A WORLD ASLEEP The tilt of the earth, rustle of angel wings and the hush of a lullaby bring the reader into The Course of Our Seasons. Kathleen Gresham Everett allows us glimpses into the seasons of our natural world, our spiritual world and the world of our emotions through her evocative and thoughtful poetry. The inspiration is specific and universal - birth, life, death and ultimately, rebirth. The book begins with the natural world where Everett's love of the Ozarks is apparent. We observe the seasons with spring peepers, sassafras trees and the charm of finches. The second section greets us with Advent and moves through the church year, as we experience the celebrations and stories of faith. Our interior life is contemplated in the final section. It opens with a lullaby, then poems of family, romantic love, heartbreak, grief and, finally, acceptance bringing us through our emotional seasons. This collection of poems celebrates the essence of our world as we move through The Course of Our Seasons.
Pastoral writings by the late Bishop Ken Untener of the diocese of Saginaw, Michigan, compiled and organized into topics by two members of the Bishop's "Theology Squad."
You're never too little for His love Do you ever feel like you are too small or too ordinary? That's how Itsy and Bitsy feel. When these two charming little mice hear that a King is coming to Bethlehem, they run to find Him. But they can't find the King, and other animals discourage them. "Don't even try," they say. "The King doesn't care about little ones like us." Itsy and Bitsy are just about to give up when something amazing happens. Crafted by master storyteller Max Lucado, Itsy Bitsy Christmas helps children understand God's great love and know that He sent His Son, the King of kings, for all of us--little or big, young or old.
