Reviews

"Sacred Reading for Lent is a convenient size and affordable. We gave it to all of our parishioners. They really appreciated it and found it helped them develop a closer relationship with the Lord by doing as we are invited to during Lent--namely, pray more intensely and listen to Jesus." --Rev. Tom Stehlik, C.M., Pastor of St. Joseph Church, New Orleans, Louisiana

"Our parishioners have used Sacred Reading to grow in their understanding of scripture during these special liturgical seasons. Encouraging them to pay attention to what they are thinking or feeling as they read the gospel opens their minds and hearts to see how it speaks to them at that moment. It helps the scriptures become more alive and relevant in their everyday lives. This is something they can carry with them outside of Advent and Lent." --Mary Ann Fox, Manager of Faith Formation for Adults and Christian Initiation, Liturgy Coordinator, Annunciation Catholic Church, Altamonte Springs, Florida
