1st Reconciliation And Beyond
$14.95Add to cartTommy and Katie McGrady, hosts of Family Mass Prep on the Hallow app, offer a warm, relatable guide to walking with your child through First Reconciliation (and beyond!). Sharing their personal journey as they helped their daughter Rose prepare for her first confession, the McGradys offer stories of love, mistakes, healing, and the transformative power of forgiveness.
In First Reconciliation and Beyond, the McGradys invite you to reflect on the Christian call to forgiveness, both within our families and in our hearts. Through real-life experiences and rich biblical insights, they explore the great parables of the gospels that illustrate Catholic beliefs about sin, forgiveness, and healing. With humor, wisdom, and compassion, they show you how to make this sacrament a meaningful and joyful experience for the whole family.
The book is divided into five chapters, each offering practical steps to help you grow together as a family:

2. Learning from Scripture: Enjoy simple, parent-friendly reflections on the gospel stories and how they reveal God’s mercy.
3. Thinking and Growing as Parents: Take time for your own spiritual reflection and growth.
4. Growing Together as Adults and Children: Talk together about the lessons learned from the parables explored in step two and your own family stories.
5. Praying as a Family: Close each chapter with a prayer, either one from the McGradys or one you create together.
Preparing your child for First Reconciliation can feel like a daunting task, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the sacrament, haven’t been to confession in years, or aren’t Catholic.

Ignatian Guide To Forgiveness
$13.99Add to cartForgiveness is hard. But Jesus knows how much we need it.
True forgiveness can be complicated because the pain of betrayal, loss, deception, and personal attack clings tightly to our emotions, memories, even our bodies. We may intend to forgive yet become stuck in our own mixed motives, others’ silence or anger, and the skewed stories we believe and tell about our lives.
In The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness, Marina McCoy delves into the principles of Ignatian spirituality and uses gentle honesty to lay out 10 steps toward forgiveness, including:
*Sort out true desires
*Honor anger while deepening compassion
*Make friends with time
*Create a new story
*. . . and more.Each chapter offers stories, real-life steps to take, and a powerful prayer for healing
Forgiveness is hard, but it’s also possible–with our “habits of mercy” and God’s abundant grace.
