Donna Marie Cooper O'Boyle is one of those older wiser women in the Catholic Faith, who has lived though many experiences and loved much along the way. She is one we can look up to and gleam from her wisdom. I own almost all her books! She is such a blessing -both through her writing and being in touch with her on FB. She is very gifted in encouragement and offering women and mothers inspiration on their faith journeys. God love and bless her!!!
She offers four devotionals for families that can help guide them on their Lenten journeys. Four to choose from - just buy whatever one speaks to you most and let that giant in our faith "walk with you" during Lent this year. A huge plus about these books - is that they are well under $5!!! For that price, buy a few and give some away!! Each devotional starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. Here are on the links on amazon where you can buy them...
Bringing Home Lent With St. Therese of Lisieux: Prayers, Reflections, and Activities for Families

Bringing Home Lent With St. John Paul II: Prayers, Reflections, and Activities for Families
Bringing Home Lent With Pope Francis: Prayers, Reflections, and Activities for Families
Just a quick peek into these lovely books - each day includes....
- Saintly Inspiration (or Papal Inspiration)
- Parent Reflection
- Family Prayer
- A Story from the Saint's (or Pope's) Life
- Fasting
- Almsgiving
- Prayer
Here's a sample of one of the days from the St. Therese devotional, to show you how simple and doable these are to follow....
++St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us!++
++St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!++
++Pope Saint John Paul II, pray for us!++

I love devotionals like these. They simplify things and make it more likely that we will do them.
ReplyDeleteThese look really doable! I like achievable devotionals. In your third week prayers, remember us! My husband is becoming Catholic this year.
