Heroic Acts of Service: Works of Mercy with Young Children
Jeannie Ewing - Jul 6, 2022
Families can begin by listening to the Holy Spirit.

Building on Lent: An Examen Prayer for the Easter Season
Rachel Forton - Apr 13, 2022
It does not make sense to simply abandon whatever practices helped us approach the Lord with less of a barrier between Him and ourselves during Lent.

Bridge of Meditation Into His Heart
Jeannie Ewing - Apr 7, 2022
It is when our nothingness encounters God’s perfection that we are truly transformed. God chooses to demonstrate His power when we choose to humble ourselves to the extreme and allow Him to do whatever He wishes.

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.
