Life Changing Catholic Books!

“Only God knows the good that can come about by reading one good Catholic book!” ~ Saint John Bosco

ONE GOOD CATHOLIC BOOK.

We desperately need words of truth and HOPE in these confusing times. 🙏

Words that will inspire our most important apostolate as mothers, as women!

Saint John Paul 2 had so many books in his room you could barely see his bed.

Edith Stein’s conversion began by reading a book by Saint Teresa of Avila.

In my spiritual reading this week from “Divine Intimacy,” the author urges to “cultivate our intellect through reading in order to put our knowledge at the disposal of God for apostolic ends.”

What’s our apostolic end? To get to heaven, become saints & take as many as we can with us!

Imagine what we can do as Catholic women, using tools like Instagram for the good, to help us get there?
