Opportunities for Grace!

I wholeheartedly believe that God allows us umpteen opportunities for his grace each day. All of the challenges and frustrations we face can be beneficial occasions to turn to God and ask for his grace for ourselves and for the people we are dealing with. No matter what is happening around us and within us, we always have recourse to prayer. Prayer is a gift that can never be taken from us. As long as we are conscious (and even if not our hearts may be praying!), whatever is happening in our lives, we always--and I mean always--have recourse to prayer.

Review: Rooted in Love

There are not many books written for the Catholic woman right now. Although more and more books are being published, the Catholic woman still must search far and wide for something solid and faithful to the Magisterium. Look no further, Catholic women!

Catholic author and television host, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle has written a useful and informative book for Catholic women, Rooted in Love. This book cites the Catechism and Church Documents throughout, leaving the reader with knowledge of the Catholic Church and practical wisdom to go along with it. Along with these citations, there are many quotes from the lives of the Saints and prayers and useful applications for the reader. 

This book is another must-read for the Catholic woman. It is not only enjoyable, but informative and promotes holiness and modesty- the type of book that all Catholic women should be filling their bookshelves with!
