How to Live a Life of Constant Conversion
Kenzie Worthing - Mar 17, 2022
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt 4:17). But what does this repentance really mean? It involves a recognition and confession of sin, a change of the interior disposition from sin and darkness to truth and light, and the abandonment of sin to begin a new way of life. -
Fasting & Feasting: How to Celebrate Solemnities During Lent
Sara and Justin Kraft - Mar 15, 2022
Lent can seem long and dreary. However, the Church does not want us to experience it in this way and to this end offers us the opportunity to celebrate two great feasts in the midst of this penitential season. The Solemnity of St. Joseph (March 19) and the Solemnity of the Annunciation (March 25) stand as great celebrations and offer an oasis in the midst of Lent. -

6 Ways to Prepare Children for Lent
Jeannie Ewing - Feb 28, 2022
Modern families struggle to find time to add anything into their schedules. I think the preparation for Lent should center around interior disposition rather than external behaviors. Even if you can incorporate one or two ways to grow in holiness as a family this Lenten season, it will bear fruit. Give God your meager offering, and He will multiply the graces you receive. -
Living the Graces of Matrimony

St. Scholastica As a Sibling
Josh Florence - Feb 10, 2022
The holy "siblingship" between St. Scholastica and St. Benedict offer insight into the gift of siblings. They led each other to holiness of life and this is something that can be a model for us and our siblings. Even for those who may not have siblings we have adopted brothers and sisters in Christ to call us to greater holiness. We must remember that The Blood of Christ runs deep in his adopted children and unites us. -
A Catholic Approach to St. Valentine’s Day
Sara and Justin Kraft - Feb 8, 2022

The Advent Story
Available just in time for the Advent and Christmas season! The Advent Story details the events of the birth of Jesus Christ and his early life as revealed through private revelation to Cora Evans. Interspersed with Scripture passages, this book brings the Christmas narrative to life and inspires renewed reflection on the Incarnation.
A Time to Laugh and a Time to Weep
NOW AVAILABLE! A Time to Laugh and A Time to Weep is a prayerful journey for healing, forgiveness, charity, kindness, and courage that traverses the highs and lows of motherhood and faith in light of Cora Evans’ writings. Travel alongside Cora Evans and Jeannie Ewing — one a woman of the early twentieth century, another a modern Catholic living in the frenzied, post-modern Information Age — and realize that truth, beauty, and wisdom exist outside of time.
Letter Lessons
The newest addition to The Cora Evans Library. “If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Lk 9:23). Being a Catholic Christian is a call to action. Our God is not passive or indifferent or lukewarm. He is active, involved, and on fire. And He is vying with the devil for your soul. Following Jesus takes perseverance, self-denial, trust, and total commitment. This is not a book about Jesus; it’s about you and how you open yourself to Him in ways you’ve never even considered.”
Gems
The reflections of Cora Evans included in Gems reveal many new details about Catholic truths, deeper knowledge of theological truths, and new light and evidence to the deposit of faith, especially regarding the humanity of Christ, the Holy Eucharist and the indwelling of Christ.
