On the Nightstand: October 2014

Recently, a priest suggested I pray with the Blessed Virgin Mary to help better hear God’s desires for me on a couple of decision points. He noted, more elegantly than this, that Mary pondered many things in her heart… listened to the Lord… and went about her33days life instead of being paralyzed with indecision.

A new friend in San Antonio, Rose Marie, and I were sharing stories while I was there for the Catholic women’s conference, and Rose Marie was kind enough to give me a copy of this book, described as “A Do-It-Yourself Retreat in Preparation for Marian Consecration.” It will be at the top of my stack this month. 

What’s on your nightstand?

  1. I am doing 33 days to morning glory also & another Scott Hahn book about the Jewish connection to the Eucharist & the mass. I can’t get enough of Scott Hahn! He writes & speaks so effortlessly & tells me more things I never knew about my Catholic faith!
