Don't keep all that profound Catholicism to yourself, either.
Be a powerful witness of Christ's love and mercy to a world in desperate need.
While
praying to prepare your heart before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
ask St. John Bosco to bring the Infant Jesus to you and as he joyfully
holds the Baby, caress His tiny little hands and feet!
Kiss the bottom
of His tiny feet, press your lips softly against His sweet little head,
and bestow upon your little King many precious kisses!
Jesus is so
delighted when we love Him in return. +
To help you prepare your heart for Christ(mas), an AdvLent reflection. That's right; AdvLENT.
The third book in the award winning God Moments series will head to print in two weeks as Apostolate Films works on a new short video focusing on our Savior's Crown of Thorns. Four book cover prototypes for God Moments III: True Love Leads To Life arrived yesterday from award-winning graphic designer Roseann Nieman, and they are all very beautiful!
They will be printed this afternoon
and after they are viewed in glorious full color, one will be chosen.
The
copy edited manuscript will arrive soon (thank you, Nancy Carabio Belanger,
John-Paul Belanger, and Erin Howarth!), and in about two weeks this
very timely pro-life book will head to print.
At right is a peek at the
front cover; the full image was arranged by Father Ludovit Luigi Gabris, and photographed by Tim Fuller. +
Thank you all!!
Work also continues on three short videos in production at Apostolate Films. The newest one emphasizes the importance of meditating on our Lord's Passion, and considers the moment when the Crown of Thorns was removed from Christ's Sacred Head.
More photographswill be taken for the newest video today at Ss. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Catholic Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan, U.S.A., where most of Joseph Karl Publishing and Apostolate Films images are acquired.
Thank you to the entire parish of Ss. Cyril and Methodius! God is at work in you!
The next generation of Catholic missionary authors, photographers, and producers is working hard for YOU!

JKP's Catholicism 101 Series continues to grow:
And just tonight, a book cover was born! After meeting with Roseann Nieman of Niemanart Graphics, the right cover came together after months of preparation, collecting potential images, and creating several prototypes. The front cover image was photographed by Tim Fuller, arranged by Father Luigi Gabris, and is based on a very special story Father Luigi shared in the book.
It is expected that the copy edited manuscript will arrive from editors Erin Howarth and Nancy Carabio Belanger this week, and after final revisions are made, the pro-life book God Moments III, True Love Leads To Life will head to print. We hope to have the book delivered in print by the end of 2012, and available in e-book format by mid-December 2012.
Be a powerful witness of Christ's love and mercy to a world in desperate need.
