A Catholic Woman's Book of Prayers

With all the mixed messages that women receive from society today, women can be distracted from--and even unreceptive to--the deep and abiding love that Christ has for them. Whether single or married, religious or consecrated, parenting children, or spiritually mentoring others, women need to know that the Lord understands the many challenges they face, their desire for inspiration, and, above all, their need to be affirmed as women.Through this book of original and traditional prayers from one of the top ten most fascinating Catholics of 2009 as rated by Faith & Family Live, women can realize God's divine Love, thrive in inspiration from Saints and the Church and rest in the affirmation of the "feminine genius."

First and foremost educator

"Since parents have conferred life on their children, they have a most solemn obligation to educate their offspring. Hence, parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate for their failure in it. For it devolves on parents to create a family atmosphere so animated with love and reverence for God and others that a well-rounded personal and social development will be fostered among children. Hence, the family is the first school of those social virtues which every society needs."--Gravissimum Educationis (one of the documents of the Second Vatican Council)

Unveiling the draft of my front cover of my Mother Teresa Book

I will be posting a DRAFT of the front cover of my new book very shortly which will be released in September, It's very exciting. Please excuse the draft version. The publisher will get it all cleaned up and ready to print in no time. Since I'll be chatting about my new book tomorrow morning on "Morning Air" (details to tune in are in the post from yesterday), I thought I'd at least give you a visual. I'll also put up details on my website Donna Cooper O'Boyle.Com for pre-ordering. So, I hope you can tune in to the radio show tomorrow. If you're not able to, I'll try to get a link or post a link to the archives.

I'll also be chatting with my dear friend, Teresa Tomeo on Monday morning on "Catholic Connection" Ave Maria Radio about some Catholic mothering - Summer Style! We'll certainly be mentioning other things as well, and perhaps more information about my Mother Teresa book, Mother Teresa and Me: Ten Years of Friendship. I'l be posting details for listening to us on Monday morning sometime tomorrow or Saturday.

May God bless your day in great abundance!

hugs,

Donna-Marie
