33 Days to Morning Glory

...yeah... This is my third (?) time reading this (because I read it, or some version of it, every year). I love that we get the thoughts of Maximillian Kolbe...cause he's a boss.

Eight Doors of the Kingdom by Jacques Philippe

I love that Philippe broke down the beatitudes into their own chapters and went into detail about how to live them out.

Yeah, I've underlined like a third of the book....

33 Days to Merciful Love by Fr. Michael Gaitley

Sooooo I love St. Therese, and I love her way of looking at Jesus... She's a freaking Doctor of the Church. How sick is that?
(Yes I have a 6 inch statue of her that hangs out at my desk; she's amazing).
I just relate to her a lot, and I love getting to know her better every year. I love getting to know Jesus with her help. She's brilliant.

33 Days to Greater Glory by Fr. Michael E Gaitley

I loved the analysis of the Gospel of John. I'm fine. I'm not crying. I didn't underline like the first half of the book... I loved that it was focused on growing in relationship with the Father. It was really appropriate reading for Lent.

Jesus of Nazareth: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger)

This was a really good book to read during Lent. I loved how much he went into detail about Holy Week (I mean obviously he went into detail; the whole book is about Holy Week). But he brought in scripture passages from the Old Testament and customs and practices from the time of Jesus. I love how thorough his research is (like obviously, he's a scholar and a theologian, but still).

Interior Freedom by Jacques Philippe

So I love Fr. Jacques Philippe.
His writing and wisdom wrecks me. I may or may not have underlined, like, half the book.

Roses Among Thorns: Simple Advice for Renewing Your Spiritual Journey by St. Francis De Sales; Edited by Christopher Blum S.T.J.

St. Francis de Sales in easy to read bites. I didn't underline the whole book.. That would be extra.

The Life of Christ by Fulton Sheen

I love Fulton Sheen's writing; it has a more artistic style, and I love that he ties Catholic teachings to the events in the scripture.
Also chronological order. I know that's a duh, but having all four Gospels together in order. And tying in the Old Testament. *Angel choir noises*

Bible in A Year- Tim Gray (Editor)

I love the way they've divided up the readings, so that there's a reading from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and something from the Psalms/Wisdom Literature, so it's not like you're reading all of Genesis in one go.
The reflections were awesome too.
I loved that they put Esther in order in terms of the story, rather than in order of when they were found and translated.
P.S. It's a Catholic Bible (so there's 73 books, not 66), RSV translation.

True Devotion to Mary: With Preparation for Total Consecration by St. Louis de Montfort

Just a heads up, my Catholic brain is getting on a chair of excitement.
I loved doing this devotion. I've done the 33 days to morning glory consecration, but I loved getting back to the roots of the Marian consecration. It took a bit of planning for me to be able to not be overwhelmed by the reading every day. I loved the repetition of the prayers, and all the mic drops about how Mary is the best Mom ever and is the best advocate for us, and how Mary always wants to bring people closer to Jesus. .... I love getting to know Mom more. I could literally go on for hours about how amazing Mary is, and how the consecration has changed my life in the past...five?...years
...I may or may not have underlined a lot of the book.
I love my Mom.

Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love by Carl Anderson

"Our Lady of Guadalupe’s only words of spiritual guidance are her gentle but persistent reminders to Juan Diego about love: a love that can be trusted, a love that gives dignity, a love that is personal. If we are to see in her words an answer to a spiritual problem, the spiritual problem it answers is a lack of love and a lack of understanding about love as relationship rather than as practice. The Guadalupan message is, in its originality, a spiritual education, an education in love."
I love Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I loved learning more about the history...the apparitions, the tilma... Just the analysis of the image and all the meanings. Literally just read any of the scientific and artistic studies of the tilma.
So many Ratzinger and Karol Józef Wojtyła quotes.
I'm fine... I love my Mom.

Help Thanks Wow

Author: Anne Lamott
Pages: 112

It is these three prayers – asking for assistance from a higher power, appreciating what we have that is good, and feeling awe at the world around us – that can get us through the day and can show us the way forward. In Help, Thanks, Wow, Lamott recounts how she came to these insights, explains what they mean to her and how they have helped, and explores how others have embraced these same ideas.
Opinion:
This was a bad book to start the new year off with, I pretty much hated it. It's rambling nonsense you can't follow. I haven't read any of her other books, maybe this was just a bad apple but I'm sorry I read it.
