Carry the Cross with Padre Pio - Daily Reflections for Lent

Susan De Bartoli

Sinossi

In this Lenten devotional, let Padre Pio guide you through the profound mysteries of the faith, sharing his unique “way of the Cross” as a spiritual father, warrior, and beloved son of God.  Susan De Bartoli, author of the bestselling Advent devotional Welcoming the Christ Child with Padre Pio, invites you on a transformative Lenten journey with her new book, Carry the Cross with Padre Pio. Through carefully selected excerpts from Pio’s letters, you will follow in the footsteps of this holy Capuchin monk who spent fifty years carrying his cross and mirroring Christ’s Passion.  Journey from the dust of Ash Wednesday to the glories of Easter, witnessing both the sufferings Pio endured and the graces he received. Discover how he embraced each day as a “little Lent,” drawing closer to holiness by uniting his sufferings and sacrifices with Christ.  Through the six weeks of Lent, you will accompany Pio through the significant spiritual moments of his life, including these:  His childhood experiences that led him to consecrate himself to Jesus and Mary  His teenage calling that erupted into a flame of intense, lifelong love  His mystical gifts—including the stigmata—and purposeful suffering  His spiritual battles against the powers of evil  His “mystical touches” that consoled him and enabled him to persevere  His devotion of Christ’s Passion and his intent to offer himself for souls     Each week begins with a Marian-themed reflection followed by four days that explore aspects of Pio’s supernatural gifts and challenges. Each week concludes with a story about his encounter with a consoling angel.  Before you begin your Lenten journey with Padre Pio, De Bartoli encourages you to consider what cross the Lord is asking you to carry for love of him as you journey toward Easter. Without suffering, there can be no healing, no redemption. Take a moment now to thank the Lord for the journey of love ahead as we walk together toward the glories of Easter.

God loves kids, and his really good plan is for kids to grow up in loving families with everything they need to be safe, happy, and whole.

The Power of Two Way Prayer -...

Father Bill W.

A tool for those in addiction recovery, and anyone seeking spiritual growth, that explains how to listen to God who has a message for each person to become who they are meant to be. 
 
 
 
Two way prayer is an extension of the eleventh step of AA to use prayer and meditation to improve a connection with God on the journey to sobriety. The practice has emerged as a valuable part of the addiction recovery process and has been validated in scientific studies. Priest and recovering alcoholic, Fr. Bill W. offers detailed, step-by-step instructions as well as sample writings that demonstrate how practical, intimate, and transforming this type of prayer can be. At the heart of the practice, there is dedicated morning devotion and quiet time, where a person asks for spiritual guidance, pauses and listens for the answer, and begins writing down the guidance that is received. It is this practical approach to prayer through listening and writing that provides a spiritual awakening, since any guidance received must be carried into action as a way to be of service. Listeners will be shown how the practice can be shared and how it will comfort and guide them one day at a time as they embark on a deeper and more transformative phase of their recovery journey.

Maiden to Mother - Unlocking Our...

Sarah Durham Wilson

When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so too were women's rites of passage into our wild, intuitive femininity and maturity. 
 
 
 
With Maiden to Mother, Sarah Durham Wilson excavates these ancient rites, guiding us through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother—the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us. 
 
 
 
Becoming the Mother is every woman's birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children. The Mother is who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now. 
 
 
 
Wilson teaches that while pre-patriarchal cultures honored women's natural cycles, today's society infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as "pretty, pleasing, and polite" in order to keep us distracted and dependent. 
 
 
 
In this journey, you will travel with Inanna—the ancient Sumerian goddess who ventured through the Underworld to meet her severed, dark sister and emerged fully integrated and empowered. 
 
 
 
Wilson helps women heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy, so we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life.
