Devotional Books

Faithfulness to prayer leads to a recognition of the need and an acceptance of the responsibility to pray for one another. By providing short prayers for each day of the school year, Daily Prayer in the Classroom assists teachers, parents, and others in the experience of praying with children each day.

Daily Prayer in the Classroom introduces elementary school children to various kinds of prayer; gives teachers confidence in what and how they pray with their students; builds confidence in the adult's ability to lead prayer in the classroom or home; and offers children the opportunity to foster a prayer life. By continuing to pray daily, participants begin to see the connection between prayer and action. As they allow themselves to be open to the Holy Spirit they develop a personal relationship with God and with each other.

Daily Prayer in the Classroom consists of short prayers for each day from August through June. Each day begins with an introduction or background followed by questions for discussion and a short prayer. Part One includes prayers for each day of the calendar year including the feasts of saints, prayers for those in need, and prayers for deepening spirituality. Part Two includes prayers for the movable feasts, the incarnation and paschal cycles. A special section of prayers includes blessings of people, places, and things; traditional prayers; virtue; personal, local, national, and international needs, and times of illness or death.

Each of the 365 minute Marian meditations in this easy-to-read giant type edition includes a brief Scripture quote, a reflection from a Saint, and a concluding prayer. In his introduction, Rev. Charles G. Fehrenbach, C.Ss.R., offers beautiful words that he borrows from St. Alphonsus Liguori's foreword toThe Glories of Mar "May this book help us love Jesus and Mary and become saints. We cannot hope or pray for anything better."

The knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary.

-St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies, c. 180

In 1700, German painter Johann Schmittdner captured this beautiful task visually as "Maria Knotenlöserin," or "Mary, the Undoer of Knots." Almost 300 years later, an Argentinean priest named Jorge Mario Bergoglio was deeply moved by the image, and on his way to becoming the future Pope Francis, Fr. Bergoglio brought back to his native country what has since become a worldwide movement.

Learn the story behind this burgeoning devotion, see the original painting that inspired it, and pray the prayers and novena that have come from it. Inspired by the service and humility of Pope Francis, this new novena to the Undoer of Knots could very well change your life by first changing your heart.

Each day, meditate on and pray with the writings of Franciscan Saints and Blesseds of all three Orders.

• Embrace the timeless values of the Franciscans: poverty, simplicity, obedience to the Will of God, chastity, love of the Eucharistic Lord, compassion, and many more.
• Be touched by the Franciscan Movement and make its rich and profound spirituality your own.

May the Lord grant us all the hope of being saints.�

Pope Francis recently shared this prayer with the world. We can all become saints. We just have to open our hearts and let God help us.

This book introduces a saint for each day of the year”ordinary people who made the choice to love Jesus and give their lives to him. These stories, prayers, and suggestions for becoming holy are designed with our needs and our lives in mind. But this is not your ordinary "Book of Saints." Each day's reflection is designed to inspire and challenge you to become who God intends for you to become. We can do this. But we need the help of the saints!
