Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Love Us
by Wilfrid Stinissen
This small book is a treasure! Fr. Stinissen gently places before us the very stairway into the heart of divine love that so enamored those great saints, like Saint Therese of Lisieux, Saint Teresa of Avila, and Saint John of the Cross, who discovered a deep and trusting intimacy with Our Lord within the simplicity of each day’s circumstances. This beautiful and often hidden stairway is that of surrender to the will of God.
In this book, Fr. Stinissen leads us through a contemplation of three particular stages along the way of surrender, reflecting on each from the perspective of the heart of Christ and with the help of the scriptures. This book has a gentle profoundness to it, the kind that touches the very heart of the struggles we often face in the course of our daily comings and goings in our homes, our calendars, in our prayer, and the labor of our vocations.
A very special experience awaits those who participate!
Due to the nature of this group, participation is limited to 16 participants. Don’t delay, sign up now!

Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart
by Fr. Jacques Philippe

We live in a day and age characterized by an extraordinary amount of agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life.

In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us all too often in our lives? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of heart. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.
The writings of Fr. Jacques Philippe have become classics of modern Catholic spirituality!

About the Series:

In this 3-part series participants will gain confidence and clarity on having conversations about the design, fertility, and reproduction of the human body through a Catholic Theology of the Body* lens. These are essential conversations to consistently have with our daughters,“Because she can only protect what she values and respects.” And just as essential for our sons, “Because when he knows the truth of his (& her) body, he will understand the power, purpose, and responsibility he’s been entrusted with.”
This series is open to all women whether married or single, with or without children; but mothers of 8-15 year old adolescents may find it especially relevant and helpful. (The maximum number of participants for this series is 18.)

To give priority to mothers of adolescent children, all other women will be placed on a first come/first serve waitlist until September 13 (10 days prior to the event). On September 13, if space is available, women on the waitlist will be notified in the order that their registrations were received and given the option to attend OR receive a refund of the registration fee.

Eating the Sunrise: Meditations on the Liturgy and Our Hunger for Beauty
by Christopher West

With this book, we will journey through the insatiable hunger of the human heart for lasting beauty. Along the way, we’ll explore the pitfalls of both idolizing and despising the things of this world. Ultimately, we will arrive at the one and only hope of fulfillment: liturgizing our yearning by opening it to the One who is Infinite Beauty, revealed in the body and freely given up for us in the Eucharist.

Christopher West is a world-renowned speaker, teacher, and author on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body!

Due to the nature of this group, participation is limited to 15 participants. Complete the registration form below to reserve your spot!
