Parish Book Club @ St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, Carlsbad, North San Diego County

Hello,

Reminder our meeting is tomorrow the 14th at eleven am in the one story conference center to discuss The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic.

Thank you member JM for getting me thinking about Lenten resources and also pointing out the Magnificat Lenten Companion is 99 cents on Amazon. Remember, you don’t need a Kindle to use Kindle; a phone or tablet will do.

Our member also shared these links:

Interesting general resource: http://american-bible-society.journeymaker.org/

Interesting article with an Ignatian bent: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/margefenelon/2015/02/why-im-not-giving-anything-up-for-lent/

I am not quite sure how this retreat works, but I like this author’s thinking, so I’m going to give it a try. And it’s on Psalms; wanted to spend more time on Psalms: http://deepeningfriendship.loyolapress.com/2015/02/04/introducing-the-2015-online-lenten-retreat/

Fr. Barron and Dynamic Catholic are taking sign ups now for their Lenten resources.

With all good intentions I’ve pulled my copy of Fr. Gary Caster’s book off the shelf: covers every day for all three liturgical years.

Wishing you an imaginative, spirit-filled Lent,

Karla

Hi, see you on Valentine’s Day to discuss The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic. Looking way ahead, the August date will probably be the third week, not the second.

I took a closer look at the May book we discussed and changed my mind. The website is now updated as follows:

• March Prayer for Beginners by Peter Kreeft (available from usual outlets and LighthouseCatholicMedia.org)
• April Beatitudes: Eight Steps to Happiness by Raniero Cantalamessa and Marsha Daigle Williamson
• May Forming Intentional Disciples: the Path to Knowing and Following Jesus by Sherry Weddell
