As Catholics, we are called to imitate Christ in every way. Well, easier said than done. The fall has made sure of that.

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. -

Fr. Mike Liledahl - Mar 10, 2022

Rachel Forton - Dec 14, 2021
The average person today might call you crazy if you told a story like that… being visited by even one angel, let alone a multitude of them.

Thy Will Be Done: St. Joseph & Preparing For a Happy Death
Sara and Justin Kraft - Nov 5, 2021
As the end of the year of Saint Joseph approaches, it seems natural to reflect on the end of the life of Saint Joseph. One of Joseph’s most common titles is “Patron of the dying”. It is often said that Saint Joseph is the Patron of a happy death because he died surrounded by Jesus and Mary.

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.
