This is a treasure of a book.  The form factor…its small pocketbook size, padded, board-book cover make it a special little gift with a big message.  Affirming and personal and grounded in Scripture, this book offers a reminder of our dignity and preciousness as daughters of God.

My thoughts:   I enjoy using Monica’s product with my children.  These Mass booklets are a perfect size for little hands and material is covered a little at a time to keep children’s attention without being too overwhelming.  My children will be using these booklets and coloring them a little at a time as we review the Mass responses.  I will be using Color Me Catholic: New Roman Missal Edition as weekly guides to teach during our religion classes during our homeschool days.  I think the more we use them the more familiar our family will be with the new mass responses, which is the intention of the product.

a new look at Guardian Angels! Book Badge Review: "Send Me Your Guardian Angel"

Happy Feast of the Guardian Angels!

“Send Me Your Guardian Angel” is not just an inspiring testament to St Padre Pio’s holiness.  It does remind us of his stigmata, ecstasy and conversations with Jesus and Mary.  It also reminds us of how revered he was during his lifetime.  I’m still picturing the little italian ladies chasing Padre Pio with scissors, eager to snatch pieces of his clothes for relics!

Consoling the Heart of Jesus Book Review

Consoling the Heart of Jesus A Do-It-Yourself Retreat by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC.

I liked the approachable writing style of this book and found myself  thinking ‘Hey, I have felt that” and “that’s what I was thinking” as the author articulates how the reader might receive the down-to-earth instructions and possible obstacles to consoling the Heart of Jesus.
