Holier Matrimony : Married Saints, Catholic Vows, And Sacramental Grace
$16.95
The Catholic Church offers beautiful and valuable gifts to those who seek Heaven via the vocational path of marriage. Married saints who have already made it to Heaven serve as inspiration and excellent role-models to those of us in the trenches. Most importantly, by means of the grace communicated in a sacramental marriage, Jesus Himself empowers spouses to love as He loves. If you are an engaged or married Catholic thirsting for holier matrimony than you so often observe, you have come to the right place. This book will help you unwrap and tap into the power of the gifts Jesus has given us through His Church. As you read, you will grow in understanding of your marriage vows, and, more importantly, you will become better equipped to live them out. You will befriend several married saints who also lived out these vows, reflect on how you can emulate their lives and marriages, and ask for their intercession. You will learn to strive constantly towards holiness, and to rely on that most precious gift of marital grace when you and your spouse inevitably fall short. As married Christians, our ultimate goal is to get ourselves, our spouses, and our children to Heaven. This would be impossible for us to accomplish on our own. But Jesus has given us everything we need: His Church to teach us, His saints to inspire us, and His grace to empower us. Together, let’s unwrap these gifts and begin our journey towards Holier Matrimony.

Journey Of Faith For Children Enlightenment
$4.99Add to cartJourney of Faith for Children introduces children to the Catholic faith in a way that’s easy for them to understand, using an engaging pastoral approach. Based on the ever-popular and long-running adult Christian initiation program from Liguori Publications, Journey of Faith for Children addresses relevant life issues, faith topics, and questions in a catechetical approach to RCIA.
Journey of Faith for Children, Enlightenment guides children through a period of self-reflection and preparation for the sacraments. Children learn about God’s mercy and forgiveness, through an introduction to the scrutinies, and be encouraged to participate in the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Children will also participate in a group Lenten retreat, an opportunity for them to spend some quiet time with themselves and God before becoming fully initiated into the Church.
Children learn at their own pace. They learn by asking questions and by doing. That’s why we’ve combined the lessons with a variety of engaging activities to appeal to a variety of learners in a way that’s flexible enough for you to modify to your unique needs. Each lesson also includes a colorful animated drawing and ongoing story that captures children’s attention and enables them to see their own faith journey mirrored in the adventures of Mrs. Evans’s fictional RCIA class.
The comprehensive Leader Guide gives you everything you need to walk into your RCIA class and start leading-whether you’re a veteran RCIA instructor or a first-time volunteer. Additional discussion points prepare you for their responses and keep the conversation going. The contemporary wraparound design enables you to see what the children see so you can spend more time teaching and growing in faith alongside your group.
