God is at work in you!

"This book appealingly presents a simple theme for
the lifetime work of every Christian. Each chapter
begins with a lengthy scripture quote given highlighted
prominence and ends with pointed questions for reflection
and a closing prayer."

-Catholic Press Association of the United States and Canada

When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together,
and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”
He said to him,
’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the greatest and first commandment.
And a second is like it:
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:34-40

This book is dedicated to
Jesus
and was written for
You.

May every soul seek
to accept, return, and share
The love of God
which is
all encompassing,
never ending,
and
can never be contained.

FOREWORD

Each of us has an unique personal apostolate whose genesis is God’s Love. All that we are and all that we possess comes from God. Thus, all that we give is an extension of His immense love. As God’s instruments, we must strive to be holy as we cultivate and nurture our personal apostolate and give of ourselves throughout our lives in loving service. Our efforts to accept, return, and share God’s Love are crucial to the formation and fulfillment of our life’s work.

As stated by St. Therese of Lisieux, “God has no need for anyone to carry out His work, I know, but just as He allows a clever gardener to raise rare and delicate plants, giving him the necessary knowledge for this while reserving to Himself the care of making them fruitful, so Jesus wills to be helped in His divine cultivation of souls” (Story of a Soul) 1.

God’s Plans are awesome and wondrous, and include each one of us! May we approach our personal apostolate with tremendous excitement and great joy, relying on His strength and guidance always.

A Twelve Year Old's Perspective On The Movie COURAGEOUS

It's a winner!
This movie will inspire new dads as well as dads with grown children. Watching the movie changed my life, too, and I'm a girl! The story is about five dads and shows different situations dads face.

As a kid, I think dads should watch this movie because it helps them connect with their children and their wives. It may even help with problems in their families.

I think the movie is an award-winner; it is that good! It’s funny and is also very serious in parts. Girls, don’t worry; you can see it too! This is a family movie. It will help dads the most while basically helping the whole family. That’s why you should go see Courageous.

Have fun watching!
