Book Description
Winner of a 2020 Catholic Press Association book award (first place, backlist beauty). Do you ever feel caught in an endless cycle of working harder and longer to get more while enjoying life less? The Stewart family did—and they decided to make a radical change. Popular Catholic blogger and podcaster Haley Stewart explains how a year-long internship on a sustainable farm changed her family’s life for the better, allowing them to live gospel values more intentionally. When Haley Stewart married her bee-keeping sweetheart, Daniel, they dreamed of a life centered on home and family. But as the children arrived and Daniel was forced to work longer hours at a job he liked less and less, they dared to break free from the unending cycle of getting more yet feeling unfufilled. They sold their Florida home and retreated to Texas to live on a farm with a compost toilet and 650 square feet of space for a family of five. Surprisingly, they found that they had never been happier. In The Grace of Enough, Stewart shares essential elements of intentional Christian living that her family discovered during that extraordinary year on the farm and that they continue to practice today. You, too, will be inspired to: live simply offer hospitality revive food culture and the family table reconnect with the land nurture community prioritize beauty develop a sense of wonder be intentional about technology seek authentic intimacy center life around home, family, and relationships Drawing from Pope Francis’s encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’, Stewart identifies elements of Catholic social teaching that will enhance your life and create a ripple effect of grace to help you overcome the effects of today’s “throwaway” culture and experience a deeper satisfaction and stronger faith.

Book Description
The month of April is dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. In honor of that, you'll find the hymn Adoro Te Devote, as well as prayers in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, and instructions on how to make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament. In this booklet for April, I have included all the prayers, Bible readings, songs, and devotions that our family uses for Holy Week, Easter, and Divine Mercy Sunday. Since the date of Easter can move by more than a month (depending on the date of the paschal full moon) in some years these days will fall during March. However, since Holy Week and Easter more often fall in April, and the Catholic All March booklet was already chock full o' Lent, this seemed like the right call.So, in this booklet, you'll get Bible readings for Palm Sunday, as well as instructions for making a Palm Cross at home, and meal planning and activity suggestions for Holy Week, plus readings and a hymn for Spy Wednesday and Holy Thursday. For Good Friday, you'll find a summary of the events of the passion, instructions for venerating the cross, readings, and the indulged devotions of the Stations of the Cross and the prayer before a crucifix. Also included is the entire Divine Mercy Novena, which begins on Good Friday, and continues through the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday on the Second Sunday of Easter. For Holy Saturday, you'll find readings plus a beautiful ancient homily for that day. There are Bible readings and hymns for Easter Sunday. And, in addition to the Divine Mercy Novena, you'll find prayers and instructions for the Divine Mercy Indulgence, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.Also included are prayers for some April saints: St. George, St. Mark, St. Gianna Molla, and St. Catherine of Siena. One note: When St. George's Day or St. Mark's Day falls between Palm Sunday and the Second Sunday of Easter inclusive, it is transferred to the Monday after the Second Sunday of Easter. If both fall in this period, St. George's Day is transferred to the Monday and St. Mark's Day to the Tuesday. As discussed in the March booklet, the Annunciation and St. Joseph's Day also get transferred if they fall between Palm Sunday and Easter, inclusive. Other saint's days that fall during Holy Week or the Easter Octave get bumped for that year.You'll also find agricultural prayers and the Litany of All Saints for a procession in honor of the Major Rogation Day which coincides with St. Mark's Day, but predates it, and isn't affiliated with it. If Easter falls on April 25th, the Major Rogation Day is observed on the 26th.
