Nancy Carabio Belanger, a graduate of Michigan State University, has loved to write ever since she was a little girl. She used to write fiction stories in math class when she was supposed to be listening to the teacher, a practice she certainly does not recommend to her readers! She has a great love for St. Therese of Lisieux. She says that Therese's Little Way is a reminder to all of us who feel like we can do nothing, that we aren’t old enough, smart enough, etc. We can all make little sacrifices to please God.

Nancy founded Harvey House Publishing in 2008 to create books for children that celebrate the Catholic Faith, modesty, the gift of life, and a wholesome childhood. Nancy is a member of the Catholic Press Association, the Independent

One girl came up to me recently with an old, well-read copy of Olivia and the Little Way. She was about 13 years old, and I had never signed it. When I opened up the book, I couldn’t help but notice that several passages had been underlined and highlighted; some even had arrows. She told me that she had chosen St. Therese as her patron saint for confirmation. As I gave the book back to her, I casually asked her how she had gotten to know about the Little Flower. She did not say a word, just simply smiled and held up my book. I felt this indescribable peace and happiness flow through me when she did that and I blinked back tears. God is so good! (less)

Impatient Perennials and a Book Review of The Gate

Time flies, and here it is, already April. Lent has passed and was hopefully fruitful for you, and now we share our Easter joy. In my neck of the woods, we have rain, which is nourishing the grass, trees, wildlife, and tiny green plants I see peeking out of the ground. They need to wait a bit, because here in Michigan we are still looking at flurries in our forecast! But I am as impatient as they Read more of this blog post »

“Only God knows the good that
can come about by reading one
good Catholic book.”
— St. John Bosco”
St. John Bosco

“If a well-known and trustworthy person were to go to a public square and tell all the idlers loitering there that on a certain hill they would find a gold mine and could take all they wanted, do you think anyone would shrug his shoulders and say he did not care? They’d be dashing there as fast as they could!

Well, now, doesn’t the tabernacle hold the most precious treasure ever to be found on earth or in heaven? Unfortunately, there are many who cannot see it because they are blind. Yet our faith unerringly tells us that endless riches are to be found there. People sweat and toil to make money, and yet, in the tabernacle dwells the Lord of the universe. He will grant you what you ask, if you really need it.

Isn’t Our Lord Jesus Christ Lord and Master of all? Go to Him then. Ask and it shall be given you; knock and it shall be opened to you! Jesus longs to grant you favors, especially those you need for your soul.”
St. John Bosco

“Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”
Padre Pio, Padre Pio: In My Own Words

“The most beautiful act of faith is the one made in darkness, in sacrifice, and with extreme effort.”
Padre Pio

“No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hetacombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we are ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?”
St. Maximilian Kolbe
