Some Comments From Readers




I was able to download this book for free over Christmas break. This is a spiritual guide book that is probably best used as a reference as opposed to reading it straight through like a normal book as I did. He set up the book by topic and provided numerous helpful quotes from a variety of sources such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church, popes, and saints. This book will be a nice one to have on my kindle for times when I want to read some helpful quotes from the great Catholic thinkers on a particular issue. It is currently selling on Amazon for under $1. Hard to beat that deal.

 
 

Enhance Your Faith by Bernie Conklin

I recently read FORGOTTEN TRUTHS TO SET FAITH AFIRE! by Mr. Michael Seagriff O.P. The book is easy to read and difficult to put down. I believe Mr. Seagriff to be a man whose faith governs every aspect of his life. In addition, he is an excellent writer.

While the book is geared toward those of the Catholic faith, it holds invaluable lessons to strengthen the faith of every Christian. I am not a Catholic, but as a Christian I thoroughly enjoyed the book's treasure of Biblical quotes and those of religious leaders and others dating back centuries. It enhanced my own faith, as I'm sure it would that of any Christian.

I appreciate the effort and amount of research Mr. Seagriff put into writing his first book. It is formatted in a manner which renders it conducive to conducting one's own research. I find myself re-visiting various passages. In an era where many Christians find themselves 'too busy' to incorporate religion into their daily lives, the timing of Mr. Seagriff's book may well be 'just right' to rekindle the flame that initially made them Christians.

Don't Starve To Death

 

Look Up! Look Up With the Eyes of Your Mind, Heart and Soul!

en t “When the Host is held on high and a chalice lifted…look up! Look up and see what Mary saw.  See a naked man squirming as He bleeds against a blackened sky; see a battered human body, writhing on a tree, prisoned there by savage spikes that have torn through Sacred hands and feet; see thorn-tortured head tossing from side to side as anguished torso labors, lifts and strains; see the eyes of God roll towards heaven beseeching, as broken lips blurt out that soul piercing cry: “My God, My God, Why has Thou forsaken Me?” What is this?  This is the Mass.  This is Crucifixion.  This is what Mary saw at the elevation of Christianity’s first Mass.  This is what you should see at the Elevation of every Mass!”  (From  The Way to God by Father M. Raymond, O.C.S.O. )

Don't Pray? Think Again!

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) In whatever state a soul may be, it ought to pray.  A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so that it might rise again. There is no soul which is not bound to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through prayer.   St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
