Dan Gallagher (dan_gallagher) | 11 comments This Lent, please consider two powerful resources for rejuvenating the soul, perhaps even your situation in life: May I suggest that all here honor and invoke aid from the patron saint of writers, Saint Frances de Sales? Here is a link to a novena and some of his prayers: https://daily-prayers.org/novenas/st-... . St. Joseph is known to intercede, also, and his novenas are easy to search in your favorite search engine. Finally, I strongly recommend, for after the nine days of these special prayers, Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain as an inspiring rejuvenation -- no, rebirth -- account from which many lessons may be taken. Please also consider my new Group, "By Your Boot Straps", which is for discussions on rejuvenating yourself. May God bless you all on your journeys!


RM(Alwaysdaddygirl) (alwaydaddygirl) | 2 comments I have not read any yet. I know when I catch up, Lent will be over.

I heard great things about Dynamic Catholic. Therefore this one book they sell should be good:

Madeleine Myers | 302 comments Another Dynamic Catholic book I recommend is Rediscover Jesus, good anytime but I pick it up every Lent (it's broken into 40 chapters), and Matthew Kelly's online video reflections during the two seasons, Best Lent Ever and Best Advent Ever, daily emails available free through Dynamic Catholic.

Madeleine Myers | 302 comments Also Rediscover Catholicism. Our parish bought a copy for every parish family a few Christmases ago, and when my sister-in-law announced that she was coming back into the Church, I sent her a cooy.

Mahalo! I have to check that video out. I just started with emails. They are so in depth! I have to read them slowly. God Bless. If I may, 🤗.
