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)

New Review for A Catholic Woman's Book of Prayers

A Catholic Woman's Book of Prayers (Hardcover)

A Catholic Woman's Book of Prayers is a delightful retreat with beautiful prayers and quotations to ponder. I especially appreciate the bow to the vocation of single women who make such a contribution to the Church and the world at large. Recognition of the dignity of women is so crucial to lifting women up to their full, God-given potential. The prayers Donna-Marie includes in her book are brimming with joy in the knowledge that God loves each and every woman no matter what their state in life. Donna-Marie's love for God and for her fellow women shines forth in this lovely little book packed with hope and healing. What a great stocking stuffer too (hint, hint)!
