The Catholic Mom’s Prayer Companion offers a new, daily resource to benefit from those few, precious minutes you have to pause and reflect.

For more than fifteen years, the award-winning CatholicMom.com website has been a trusted source for sound, practical, and spiritual guidance. In their new book, authors Lisa M. Hendey and Sarah A. Reinhard bring together more than eighty moms, dads, and trusted spiritual companions to provide fresh, uplifting meditations for on a daily basis of the year. You’ll find encouragement when you’re struggling, reassurance when you feel alone, and comfort when you’re distracted by worry.

Created by moms for moms, these hope-filled meditations touch on the issues and concerns you face as you try to get through the day with a sense of God’s presence in your life. Whether you are a new or seasoned mom working in or outside of your home, this inspiring collection of reflections for on a daily basis of the year will help you

• stay in touch with the seasons of the Church year;
• remember Mary’s loving presence on her feast days;
• keep company with both new and familiar saints;
• see the spiritual meaning of secular holidays; and
• make you smile with occasions such as Houseplant Appreciation Day and National Popcorn Day.

Every day begins with a brief quotation from scripture, saints, recent popes, or important spiritual writers. A personal reflection—written by contributors including Danielle Bean, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, Lisa Mladinich, Elizabeth Scalia, Carolyn Woo, Mark Hart, and Jeff Young—makes a speciality of some dimension of your spiritual, emotional, intellectual, or physical life. Every day also includes a brief prayer and a question or thought to ponder all over the day.

In only a few minutes of quiet you’ll find the boost you wish to have from a friendly voice. Each month also has a special theme such as love, family fun, and slowing down. Start these reflections any time all over the year and feel your days turn out to be more grace-filled and inspired.
