A
Pocket Retreat for Catholics: Thirty Simple Steps to Holiness - In Just Ten Minutes a Day!
by F. Maucourant
Book DescriptionThirty steps to holiness — in just ten minutes a day!
Here’s your solution if you wish you had time to make a retreat, but you can’t
tear yourself away from the demands of work and family. Make your retreat
anywhere! This attractive leatherette book is delightfully portable! While
waiting at the doctor’s office, or in line at the supermarket, you can take a
moment to direct your attention to your internal and external transformation.
These ten-minute meditations are perfect for bringing a retreat right into your
home or workplace. Designed as a thirty-day program to lead you to greater love
for God, these brief reflections give you guidance on how to get started on a
more serious commitment to Christ, and how to deal with common challenges and
obstacles that will confront you along the way.
You’ll get directions for how to act, too
Not content with mere sentiment, author F. Maucourant also includes a plan of
action — one you can begin to implement in minutes, wherever you may happen to
be. You’ll start right at the beginning, with directions on how to answer
Christ’s invitation to a life of union with Him. Of course, as a Christian,
you’ve already answered Christ’s invitation — but this meditation helps you
evaluate just how well you’ve answered it, and how much you live for Him in your
thoughts, your feelings, and your actions.
These meditations continue in the same searching vein. You’ll gain new
ability to recognize the love with which God created you and your value in His
sight. You’ll come to a deeper love of Christ in the Eucharist and a new
determination to let Christ’s life grow in you as you allow Him to act in your
soul. You’ll discover how to find union with Jesus in your vocation, how more
effectively and truly to see Jesus in your neighbor, and how to let Jesus fully
and finally heal your sinfulness.
This thirty-day retreat program is a foundation for a lifetime of preparation
for union with God in Heaven!
Each of these profound reflections comes with special prayers for each day, a
daily examination of conscience, and a brief spiritual message to carry through
the day.
