"On a retreat at the Abbey of St Walburga in Virginia Dale, Colorado, I discovered a prayer rope in the gift shop.  On this prayer rope the Jesus or 'breath prayer' is said.  The prayer rope has its roots in the Orthodox Church and is kind of like their rosary.  This prayer rope helped get me through some difficult times.  My original prayer rope got eaten by a dog so my new beads are kept far away from our pets!  By its nature the breath prayer is very relaxing and is perfect for bed time prayer."

"This is a truly powerful account of Christ's passion, death and resurrection.  Through the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, one enters into the depth of Christ's extraordinary sacrifice.  Through reading this book, my realization of the suffering Christ endured has been undoubtedly strengthened.  This is an excellent book to read during the Lenten season, in order to put into perspective the purpose of our own lives, while reflecting on the events that led up to Christ's saving act."

"Instead of giving an Easter basket filled with candy, I like to give my children a basket with a mixture of candy, books, and fun items. This Easter Gift Basket is an easy way to teach children the story of Easter and makes a wonderful gift.  The gift basket is all ready for you, just add some candy and you are ready for Easter!"

"In college a friend of mine spoke of a schedule to read the Bible in one year.  "It's hard to find the extra time to read the Bible," I've thought through the years.  Then I found a little booklet called "How to Read the Bible Every Day: A Guide for Catholics".  What makes this book special is the One, Two, or Three year reading schedules!  I'm on the Three Year plan.  Who can't afford 5-7 minutes in the morning, over the lunch hour, on the train, or right before bed to read the Bible on the Three year plan?   I have this combo sitting on my desk
at work for daily reading."

"Because this book, and this topic is so dense, I found it good to read a chapter at a time, while allowing opportunity for reflection on each point that Scott Hahn covers.  This would be a great book for all those with busy schedules, who can find only small windows of time for reading.  However, with this book, one will be left with valuable information to ponder throughout the day. "

"This is a great movie for married couples to watch together!  Even if your marriage is on solid ground, I think that the message of this movie and the techniques used from The Love Dare book are well worth watching
and using in real life. "

"This one volume compilation of the Liturgy of the Hours is an excellent tool to maintain your daily prayer life, while also providing easy navigation through the different daily prayers and office of readings. I recommend this method of prayer to anyone who is searching for a way to incorporate a spiritual dimension into his or her
day-to-day activities."

"This is a great book for parents of boys, no matter what age!  Dr. Meeker reminds us of what is truly important in raising our children - time with their parents, teaching them your faith in God, and of course discipline.  I especially liked the real life examples from Dr. Meekers experiences as a parent and pediatrician."

"My children enjoy Catholic devotionals and holy water is one of their favorites.  My wife wanted to extend this into our home and asked me to pick out a font.  This is my favorite font for several reasons including it fits easily with our home décor, it is a beautiful depiction of our Blessed Mother, and the story of the Irish peat is great especially for my wife and kids who have some Irish heritage.  My daughter reminds everyone - Catholics and non-Catholics alike - to do the sign of the cross with holy water when entering or leaving our house!"
