“30 Marian Eucharistic Visits: Adoring Jesus with His Mother”

Now available!

Amid a wide range of spiritualities and charisms, the saints shared two consistent devotions: love for the Holy Eucharist and love for Our Lady. Here is the book that will immerse you deeply in both and inflame your heart with love for Jesus’ Eucharistic Heart through the heart of His Mother. The relational reflections contained in this volume will restore or increase your faith in the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. They will help you enter into meditation with Jesus and Mary as never before and will open your heart to receive the graces available from the Sacred Mysteries. 

Each Marian Eucharistic Visit presented in these pages, similar in format to Lectio Divina, guides you through four parts: ponder (a short prayer or quote from a saint or spiritual writer), reflect (a meditation on the grace you are seeking from your visit), pray (a guided reflection with traditional Marian Eucharistic prayers), and savor (keys to resting in the presence of the Lord). Space is provided at the end of each meditation to journal about the resolutions, affections, and inspirations you receive during your time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Scripture passages are peppered throughout, as are scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary to contemplate. 

In page after page, you will find ways to rekindle the fire of divine love in your prayer life and to grow in loving communion with our Lord in the miracle of the Eucharist. Through the Blessed Virgin’s intercession, you will grow in virtue and discover spiritual treasures such as these:

  • What St. Louis de Montfort said is the shortest, surest, and most perfect way to Jesus
  • Four types of prayer to incorporate during Eucharistic Adoration
  • The one thing that wounds Jesus’ Heart even more than our sins
  • The Marian virtue that thwarts the evil one’s tricks
  • The medicine Our Lady uses to intercede for the spiritual healing of our souls

You will be inspired by moving stories of saints such as Faustina, the Fátima children, and Pope John Paul II and will see how to apply them to your daily faith journey. With the chapters modeled on particular virtues in the life of Mary to imitate, these precious pages convey the Church’s teachings on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, Adoration, Spiritual Communion, and much more.

Early Praise

“Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle has provided Catholics with a gift! Visiting the Blessed Sacrament and praying before our Lord is crucial to our spiritual lives. Doing so with Our Lady, as Donna-Marie lays out, is even more powerful! If you have found yourself before a tabernacle or a monstrance, and wishing you had something to guide your prayer, this meditation book is it. Through adoration and Eucharistic devotion, you will grow in virtue while learning from Our Lady and imitating her.” 
Fr. Edward Looney, S.T.L.
Author, 
Meditations after Holy Communion and Podcast Host of How They Love Mary

“A timely and desperately needed book for this era of mounting disbelief in the Real Presence of our Lord in the Eucharist. In 30 Marian Eucharistic Visits, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle guides her readers into a deeper love for, and belief in, the Eucharist under the mantle of our Mother Mary. It is impossible to work through this book without being substantially and permanently changed.” 
Marge Steinhage Fenelon
Award-winning author, internationally-known speaker, and life coach

“Coming out of the pandemic, the Church has rightly focused her attention on Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist. Wielding her tremendous talent like a highly skilled artist, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle has crafted a beautiful mosaic of stories, prayers and devotions to our Eucharistic Lord through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Marian Eucharistic Adoration is an essential resource for anyone who wants to find peace and comfort in the loving embrace of Jesus and His Blessed Mother. Prepare to be richly blessed!” 
Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers 
Author, 
Our Life of Service: The Handbook for Catholic Deacons 

“What do we do during a Holy Hour? We simply place ourselves in the Presence of Jesus which is beneficial in itself. It is also helpful to have ‘food for our meditation’ — words to direct our thoughts and hearts to our Eucharistic Lord. Donna-Marie has put together some wonderful quotations from Saints that help us to see what they saw and treasured.”

Praise for “Diary of a Future Saint”

Finally, the inspiring story of Saint Faustina for young readers! 

Far from a mere gathering of historic details, this is an engaging and readable biography. In her personal, conversational style, Donna-Marie is simply telling the story of one of her favorite saints. It’s a compelling story and, as it unfolds, she invites her readers to think about their own relationship with Christ, offering them practical ways to model their lives on Faustina’s. Though geared primarily for young people, this is perhaps the fullest and richest biography of Saint Faustina and will be a great blessing for young and old alike.

Here is a book that is original, profound, practical and potentially life-changing for readers. “Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life” is a work that will enrich, engage and expand the feminine heart. The author provides rich content full of beauty and truth that leads readers on a spiritual journey of inner healing that culminates in divine intimacy. I pray that women of all faiths will take up and read this amazing gift of grace. Highly recommended!

Kathleen Beckman, Author, “A Family Guide to Spiritual Warfare” and “Praying for Priests”

“Jesus I trust in you.” The message of Divine Mercy given to us by Jesus through the writings of St. Faustina, are indeed words to live by, especially in these challenging times. Whether it’s the continued fallout from the Coronavirus, political unrest, or problems striking closer to home with struggles in our personal lives and families, women need to cling to this message of hope more than ever and learn more about the Divine Mercy message itself. Donna-Marie’s book helps us do both and then some. And is a greatly needed and timely resource for women of all ages.

Teresa Tomeo, Author and Syndicated Catholic Talk Show Host of “Catholic Connection” and “The Catholic View For Women” 

Donna-Marie is truly anointed by God in many ways, especially her gift of writing! This beautiful book is so powerful and such a great resource to serve to equip Catholic women to be more like the woman described in Proverbs 31:26-31. Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life is like a training manual for girls and a guidebook for women which uses Saint Faustina’s writings as a guide, and leads us through the many milestones a female encounters, from birth to death; giving us expert advice along the way to help us become more holy and pleasing to our Lord. Every Christian woman should own this book. And for men, it’s a great book to give to your daughter, your wife or girlfriend.

Gail Buckley Barringer, Founder Catholic Scripture Study International

Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life is a wonderful book of spiritual and theological reflections and prayers, looking at a woman’s relationship with God through the lens of one of the greatest religious figures of the twentieth century. Cooper O’Boyle’s soul-stirring meditations, heartfelt stories, and beautiful insights on a woman’s experience with Christ’s Divine Mercy provides spiritual food that will nourish and strengthen the reader’s prayer life in a deeply intimate and personal way. Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life plants the seeds of wisdom in the rich soil of human experience that, when watered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit in an open heart, will undoubtedly bring forth fruit of sacred joy in the lives of women everywhere. An absolute must-read! 

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, Author, Father Augustus Tolton: The Slave Who Became the First African American Priest  

Four words effectively describe just how it is that the beauty and mystery of the feminine genius can stand up heroically to a broken and wounded world resultant of the Fall of our first parents: The Mercy of God.  Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle’s book, Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life: Milestones Along the Way, conveys this important truth.

Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM, Fathers of Mercy Assistant General and EWTN Series and Radio Host

Women inspire other women. In Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life, Donna-Marie offers many spiritual lessons from Jesus the Divine Mercy and His Apostle of Divine Mercy St. Faustina. The author also shares her own life and experiences, along with with other compelling true stories, inviting the reader to pause, act, and pray for God’s mercy. This book will enrich the faith of the women who read and pray with it.

Fr. Edward Looney, Host of the podcast, How They Love Mary and author of A Lenten Journey with Mother Mary

Women need a lavish experience of Christ’s Divine Mercy as a balm of Grace. Divine Mercy in a Woman’s Life fuses the Divine Mercy message with real life in every stage of womanhood. Because we women are so poured out, it’s only necessary that we have His Mercy pour in. This beautiful book is a little spring of Divine Mercy for His ladies.

Review:

“Mary loves families. This book is a wonderful way for families to open themselves to Mary s love for them, and her deepest desire that they join her in wholeheartedly surrendering to God and doing what Jesus tells them.”
Ralph Martin, S.T.D.
Director of Graduate Theology Programs in the New Evangelization, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Archdiocese of Detroit

“Abandoning ourselves to God is the certain way to salvation; St Louis Marie de Montfort teaches us that Mary is the surest, shortest, and most perfect way to approach Jesus and make this act of abandonment. It is a journey we do not take alone, it is one we make in communion with others, most appropriately with members of our family, the domestic church. In this book, Donna-Marie Cooper O Boyle deftly guides families through St Louis Marie s plan of preparing to make the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary, providing a catechism of Catholic faith and spirituality while helping parents in their role of forming their children as disciples of Christ. This is a beautiful book which, I hope, will enhance the spiritual lives of many Christian families.”
Fr. John S. Hogan, OCDS
Co-host of EWTN’s Forgotten Heritage, Author of “Thomas Becket: Defender of the Church”

“Jesus says the greatest commandment is to Love God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. And the second is to love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:28-31). “Family Consecration to Jesus Through Mary” is a beautiful, clear, practical guide to understanding these commandments and most importantly living them out in your daily life.”
Patrick Madrid
Host of the Patrick Madrid Show on Relevant Radio

“In an era when family prayer consists of praying around the dinner table and before bed, and a time when more catechesis takes place at the parish church than in the home, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle’s Family Consecration to Jesus Through Mary will introduce families to prayer and assist them in handing on the faith to their children. Families together will consecrate themselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who will surely obtain many graces from her Son, as husbands, wives, and children, live out their Consecration and baptismal promises.”
Fr. Edward Looney
Author of A Lenten Journey with Mother Mary

A WORD FROM DONNA-MARIE: As a mother of five, and now a proud grandmother, I couldn’t help but write this book for grandmothers who are awaiting the birth of their precious grandchild. Many years ago when I was on complete bedrest for a precarious pregnancy and when my doctor didn’t think my baby would survive, I prayed and pondered the amazing significance of a nine-month waiting period while our unborn babies are nourished by our love and life, nestled inside our wombs. During that time of staying still and earnestly prayerfully waiting, I was deeply inspired to write “Prayerfully Expecting: A Nine-Month Novena for Mothers to Be” for expectant mothers. My dear friend Mother Teresa wrote the Foreword! Now, as a grandmother, I am excited to offer this beautiful prayer journal for the “expectant” grandmother whose period of waiting can become transformed into an amazing novena of love while her heartfelt meaningful prayers are benefiting her unborn grandchild and her own soul as well. May God bless every grandmother and grandchild and nurture their relationship–even as early as from their conception!

ADVANCE PRAISE: Grandparents become grandparents as soon as their grandchildren begin to exist. How appropriate it is, therefore, to get to know more about your grandchild during his or her journey of growth in the womb – and especially to accompany that knowledge with prayer! Prayerfully Waiting will help you begin your lifelong relationship with your new grandchild!

Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life

With its many and varied prayers, wisdom from Mother Church, and space to journal and create memories, Prayerfully Waiting is a lovely, gentle companion for the grandmother-to-be. I plan to use it myself when I’m prayerfully waiting for my first grandchild! 

Karen Edmisten, author of After Miscarriage and Deathbed Conversions

As I flipped through the pages of Prayerfully Waiting, I recognized the beauty it offers in drawing families across generations closer together. As a mother prepares to welcome her newborn child, the grandmother can also prepare for her role –  through prayer and reflection. What a blessing for a grandchild to receive so many graces from prayer before even being born! A new life is worth celebrating and Prayerfully Waiting reflects that it’s worth celebrating in multiple family generations.

Catherine Hadro, Host of EWTN Pro-Life Weekly

This is a blessed book and a brilliant idea. Combining information on the baby in the womb’s developments with prayer to the Blessed Mother, St. Anne and other saints, Prayerfully Waiting is both practical and spiritual. I am a grandmother of four and I know I will be referring to this book often.

Janet Morana, Executive Director, Priests for Life, Author of Recall Abortion

Brief Description: Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle encourages Catholic families to reclaim a significant tradition: setting apart Sundays as a day of worship, true rest, teaching, and simply spending precious time together. In fifty-two creative chapters Donna-Marie presents fun and meaningful ideas inspired by the seasons (both natural and liturgical), holidays, saints days, and holy scripture, to help keep Sundays special, just as God said we should.

Endorsements: 

This may be the most important book you read this year. God gave us very few commandments, and one of them is to keep one day holy for worship and leisure in His presence. He did this not for His good, but for ours. The recovery of Sunday is key to our renewal of our families, parishes, society, and the environment. Please read this book.

Mike Aquilina
EWTN Host and Author of The Fathers of the Church

What a delightful book! Filled with great ideas of how to make Sundays special, Reclaiming Sundays is a treasure trove of prayers, reflections, and family activities to help every family delight in the Day of the Lord. As a priest, I will be recommending this book to families and newly married couples. I am certain this book will be a blessing for families and society in general. 

Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC
Author, 10 Wonders of the Rosary

Wow! Just, wow! Reclaiming Sundays is a must-have for any family that wants to take what they receive in word and sacrament at Mass on Sunday, and integrate a Eucharistic faith into their homes every day. Through the use of simple, practical yet powerful signs of faith and culture, Donna-Marie reminds us that God designed Sundays as sacred family time. She shows how works of mercy, arts and crafts, recipes, and celebrations can be catalysts for developing strong families that form the domestic church. This book will help parents build lasting memories in their children’s hearts, memories that they will bring into their own families one day. 

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, Author, Father Augustus Tolton: The Slave Who Became the First African-American Priest  

If there were an antidote to reclaiming peace in our families and the world, Donna-Marie just wrote the book on it. Reclaiming Sundays is truly the answer to build and rebuild the domestic church.

Leah Darrow, author of The Other Side of Beauty and founder of Lux University

A brief snippet from the Foreword (by Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, “Fr. Joseph, MIC,” Director, Association of Marian Helpers written on St. Faustina’s feast day):

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, a great Marian Helper, popular author, and EWTN show host, has created about as faithful and as thorough a presentation on the spirituality and the writings of St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938), the Secretary and Apostle of Divine Mercy, as I’ve ever read. It’s a deep dive into the life and writings of one of the greatest mystics in the history of the Church, a religious sister who was given to us by God specifically for the times we are living in today…

Saint Faustina changes lives. The Divine Mercy message and devotion that she was given by Jesus, a reminder and a prophetic restatement of the classical Gospel teaching on the mercy of God, changes lives…

(Now available!)

Spend Advent with Our Lady of Fatima and with six saintly souls who were particularly devoted to her: St. Teresa of Calcutta, St. John Paul II, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, and the Three Shepherd Children to whom Mary appeared in 1917!

In these spiritually-rich pages, award-winning Catholic author Donna-Marie Cooper O Boyle brings you powerful prayers and readings guaranteed to shield you from the annual holiday sales frenzy that, during the holy season of Advent, distracts even sincere believers from preparation for the coming of the Christ Child.

These wise pages are sure to draw you closer to Our Lady of Fatima and her gracious messages of peace and hope. For these Advent prayers and readings are all rooted in Mary s 1917 messages to Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia (the three young Fatima visionaries); and in the personal Fatima devotions of three of our holy contemporaries, St. Teresa of Calcutta, St. John Paul II, and the late Fr. Andrew Apostoli.

Reflecting on Advent through their lives and words, you will also learn:

The prayers of adoration the Angel taught Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia What Fr. Andrew considered the most important of Our Lady s Fatima requests How St. John Paul II fulfilled the Third Secret of Fatima and why he credits Our Lady with saving his life! How, in his final months, Fr. Andrew radically fulfilled Our Lady s Fatima requests The role Mother Teresa secretly played in the consecration of Russia Why, particularly in Advent, you must pray for Our Lady s Immaculate Heart to triumph And much more to help you grow closer to Our Lady and keep your Advent frenzy-free.

With the sure guidance of Our Lady of Fatima and these six saintly souls who loved her intensely, the frustrations of our modern Christmas seasons will soon melt away. Advent will become for you a period of expectant waiting and a time of joy and hope, as you experience within you an ever-growing desire for the coming celebration of the birth of Jesus.

ADVANCE PRAISE:

As someone who has written books about Our Lady of Fatima before, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle brings a unique richness to Advent with Through Advent with Our Lady of Fatima. She blends the wisdom of Fr. Andrew Apostoli, the Three Shepherd Children, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, and Saint John Paul II with her own into a fantastic formula of meditation, prayer and action that will make this your holiest, most blessed Advent ever!
Marge Steinhage Fenelon, award-winning author of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots: A Living Novena and Forgiving Mother: A Marian Novena of Healing and Peace.

Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life

Donna Marie has captured the spirituality of the message of Fatima. This compilation of reflections and prayers of Mother Teresa, St John Paul II, the shepherd children, and Fr.

Book Description:

What can we learn from the Saint of the Gutters? How might her wisdom and intercession help us in our present needs? After all, Mother Teresa was very small in stature, even frail in some respects, and she was a woman—the supposed “weaker sex.” However, this petite woman’s “yes” to God truly changed the world forever. She opened the world’s eyes to our duties to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and told us that a far worse hunger exists in our Western world. She continues to encourage us to reach out in love to those in need.

Through this novena of prayer, our faith is energized as we “sit at St. Teresa of Calcutta’s feet” to learn lessons of love, and invoke her intercession for our urgent, as well as our lesser needs—big and small—she will help!

They have heroically placed their lives on the line on battlefields, as well as in battling military issues on the home front too.

Best-selling and award-winning author Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, an honorary lifeti

In this warm retelling of the story of Our Lady of Fatima, award-win- ning author Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle unfolds vividly before the eyes of children the mysterious radiant holy Lady who suddenly appeared to three peasant farm children in Portugal.

Portuguese farm families were devastated by the horrors of the Great War, miraculous events mysteriously occurred in 2016 and again in 2017. By reading this beautifully-illustrated chapter book, children will walk in the footsteps of Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta and learn the important message Our Lady delivered to these little shepherd children and to the whole world.

At the end of each chapter, the book offers an opportunity to pause and ponder the story and the reader’s own prayer life as well as encouragement to apply the messages to one’s own life. A section of Fatima prayers completes the book.

FEEDING YOUR FAMILY’S SOUL

You can order Feeding Your Family’s Soul: Dinner Table Spirituality right here using the buttons below.

Feeding Your Family_cover_FINAL

This book is uniquely suited to come to their rescue. Feeding Your Family’s Soul: Dinner Table Spirituality is a vital tool to enable parents to transform a regular dinner time into a prayerful faith lesson for their elementary school to high school aged children. It will indeed help to fulfill the Catholic Church’s vision for evangelization in the family and beyond.

Through 53 fun and creative faith lessons (one for each week of the year and one extra credit lesson), this one-of-a-kind book will encourage parents and caregivers to seize the opportunity in teaching the Catholic faith to the children (the captive audience waiting to eat!) while gathered at the dinner table, and while reminding them of the value of coming together as a family to break bread and share hearts.

This book bears a foreword by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers and wonderful endorsements.

Donna-Marie’s book is a real treasure. The family has been called the “domestic church” and it is there that we first learn about God, our prayers, and how to live our Christian life. Donna-Marie certainly offers a valuable tool, because when the family gets together for a meal, it is an appropriate time to share and teach the faith. We are reminded at a meal that we not only feed our body, but we need to feed our soul with God’s word and message.

~ Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., Founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and Host of EWTN’s Sunday Night Prime

There is no shortage of studies showing the importance of family meal time. Add in the spiritual component of prayer and teaching the faith and you have, as Donna Marie so eloquently illustrates, a recipe for success.  Follow Donna Marie’s plan and you’ll be fortifying your loved ones in their faith now and in the future.

~Teresa Tomeo, Syndicated Catholic talk show Host and best selling Catholic author

This is a very important book for the Church and the culture today, and will no doubt help shape the hearts and minds of parents and children to be more like the Holy Family. Fr. Patrick Peyton said it best: “The family that prays together, stays together.” When families truly begin to pray together, the culture will experience the love and mercy of Jesus.

~Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

An altar is also a table.  It is the scene both of self-sacrificial love and of a meal signifying and embodying communion with God and one another.  In Feeding Your Family’s Soul, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle shows us how to help make our dinner table into an altar of worship and love centered around family meal times.  Read this wise and practical book and find a way to help your family become happier and holier.  Taste and see that the Lord is good!

~Mark P. Shea, Author, This is My Body: An Evangelical Discovers the Real Presence

With gentle affection for her readers and an invigorating passion for the Catholic faith, Donna-Marie’s new book is a gift of great value to Catholic parents and grandparents, everywhere. Feeding Your Family’s Soul is a wise and delectable fusion of insights, stories, recipes, and prayers that will inspire and empower you to evangelize your family in the most natural of environments: the sacred space around your kitchen table.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA

New Cover!

New COVER!
Print

 

Publisher’s description: On May 13, 1917, the Virgin Mary first revealed herself to a trio of shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. She would appear to them five more times over the course of the year until the great miracle of the sun on October 13, 1917. She brought a message of love and peace that was heard around the world–a sorely-needed antidote to the ravages of World War I. To mark the 100th anniversary of the apparitions, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle provides a one-stop guide to the tradition, history and spirituality of Our Lady of Fatima, including the testimonies of those who have made the pilgrimage and prayers for those who share this devotion.

In Our Lady of Fatima, award-winning author, journalist, pilgrimage host and host of EWTN’s Everyday Blessings for Catholic MomsCatholic Mom’s Café, and Feeding Your Family’s Soul, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle offers a mini-Fatima retreat–an “armchair pilgrimage,” if you will. This collection of prayers, testimonies and reflections will bring to life the events of Fatima and help you find ways to apply Mary’s Fatima message to the nitty-gritty details of your daily life.

Each chapter begins with a quote by or about the Blessed Mother before delving into a key aspect of the story of Mary’s appearances to nine-year-old Lúcia Santos and her cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. A prayer, a simple reflection and a doable call to action transform this book from a simple historical retelling into a practical devotional.
The Blessed Mother’s Fatima message is needed now more than ever. The uncertainty of global events can seep into our daily worries, creating fear and anxiety that’s difficult to overcome. Our Lady of Fatima is a welcome remedy for that worry. In it, you’ll find a chance to grow in faith and holiness, as well as a needed dose of inspiration, hope and peace in following its advice and suggestions, and in praying the prayers.

From the dust jacket:

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle is a Catholic author, a radio and television host, and an inspirational speaker known and admired from coast to coast. Yet with all of her public exposure, she has revealed very little about her personal history, that is, until now. When she discovered that sharing her struggles gives encouragement to others, she was persuaded to write this story of her life.

Growing up in a Polish-American Catholic family, Donna-Marie was blessed with hard-working parents who provided a stable home for their eight children. At times her childhood was golden and carefree, but other times it was tarnished by pain that she felt was best left unspoken as she sought God for help and strength.

After she left home after high school, her path took some harrowing turns. A Vietnam veteran fiancé snapped and held her against her will. She suffered pregnancy loss, serious illness, divorce, and single motherhood. Perhaps her greatest trial was an epic custody battle in which she needed to defend both her reputation as a mother and the safety of her five children.

Yet through all the dark valleys, Donna-Marie kept the fire of her faith burning. Helping her to see the beauty of the crosses in her life, and to rely on the presence and the providence of God, were saintly souls who became her friends and mentors. One of these was Blessed Mother Teresa, who was her confidant and spiritual mother for ten years.

“This candid and poignant account pierces the heart and leaves the reader changed.”
— Johnnette Benkovic, Founder, Women of Grace®

“A courageous, sometimes stunningly personal memoir. Donna-Marie reminds us that everyone gets a turn on the via Dolorosa.”
— Elizabeth Scalia, The Anchoress at Patheos.com

“A gripping spiritual adventure telling of God’s faithfulness in times of terror and abuse.”
— Mark Shea, Author,By What Authority

“Runs the gamut of virtue and vice, flesh and spirit, demonic and holy. Her extraordinary life gives hope to all.”
— Jim Pinto, Co-Host of EWTN’s @ Home with Jim and Joy

“For anyone who wishes to move beyond anger and resentment, this book is an answer to prayer.”
— Mike Aquilina, Author, The Fathers of the Church

NEW for Lent 2016!

Pope_Francis_Cover

Known for his humility and concern for the poor, Pope Francis has been an inspiration to millions of Catholics and non-Catholics alike since he became the Church’s first Jesuit pope in 2013.

In Bringing Lent Home with Pope Francis, popular author and EWTN host Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, offers Pope Francis as a guide through Lent. Guided by the threefold Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, the booklet offers inspiring stories, practical ideas for family prayer, easy-to-do activities, and suggestions for conversations.

Building on the popularity of Bringing Lent Home with St. John Paul II, Bringing Lent Home with Mother Teresa and Bringing Lent Home with St. Thérèse of Lisieux, this edition provides the same practical elements: a quotation from Pope Francis, a story about his life, and practical suggestions for living the threefold call of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Parents can enhance their own daily prayer by using the booklet’s reflections for parents. On Sundays, families focus on the themes assigned to that Sunday of Lent, and Cooper O’Boyle suggests a project for the week ahead. The booklet can be used with any of the three Catholic lectionary cycles.

Previous books in the series have been praised by parents, catechists, and pastors alike as helpful, creative, and transformative resources.

 Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers

Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers


Full of inspiration and encouragement for all mothers! You’ll find: Original and traditional prayers and inspiration for mothers of all ages A wonderful gift for mothers and grandmothers The perfect baptismal gift from the parish to a new mom and for moms of every age and stage.

Excerpt (from Introduction):

 

 

How can anyone begin to explain the countless indescribable blessings, joys, and rewards interwoven in the tapestry of motherhood? Along with those remarkable moments in a mother’s life, of course, are also woven the sacrifices and sorrows; even in these, God’s grace abounds to mothers just for the asking. Our Lord certainly favors mothers. After all, He actually enters into a partnership with them to create human life. What an incredible mystery and miracle!…Whatever mothering role she plays, the power of a mother’s prayer cannot be underestimated. And our good Lord also knows you would welcome more time for prayer and quiet times to listen to His promptings in your soul. But a busy household can be very far from quiet and time itself can seem like a luxury. It would actually be wrong for a mother to drop everything to kneel to pray. Especially as her baby is crying for her attention, a sick child is in need of her care, or her family is waiting for dinner. A mother’s time is truly not her own…

Prayer excerpt:

Thank you, dear Lord, for the miraculous vocation of motherhood You have blessed me with. At times, I may not be able to fathom the intensity of the miracles that are worked in human hearts throughout the seasons of my vocation as mother. By Your graces and love for me, I trust that I acy as Your instrument in this world–first to my own family, and then, reaching ot to others. Please continue to work through me as I work out my own salvation and that of my family. Help me to lead others to You by my life and love.

THE HEART OF MOTHERHOOD: FINDING HOLINESS IN THE CATHOLIC HOME

 

 

A wonderful encouraging book for Catholic mothers, adoptive mothers, stepmothers, godmothers, and grandmothers, $16.95     
 
 
 
When dirty dishes and laundry pile up, it’s easy to believe that the call to sanctity is for someone else. But this inspiring book written by a Catholic mother of five and based on the teachings of Mother Teresa shows us how faith can support mother's in their most holy task—raising children.
With guidance for a deeper prayer life amid the chaos, we learn that our entire lives as mothers can become a prayer. With anecdotes, devotions, original prayers, helpful tips, an inspiration for achieving loving communication with God, this book helps mothers keep their sanity intact while seeking the sanctity to which everyone is called.
Excerpt:

“We cannot all be Blessed Mother Teresas. We cannot and should not (those of us with small children to raise) drop everything and run off to Calcutta or some other poverty-stricken area to try and change the world. We can, though, in our own families, be instrumental in creating major changes. For a mother, this is far more meritorious than trying to convert the entire world, believe it or not!”

Prayer Excerpt:

 Bless Our Domestic Church

Oh, Lord, you have blessed me with the sacred gift of the family. You have put my children in my care to raise in a loving home. Whether we live in a palace or under a tree, we are a family. You bless our comings and goings, our times together and times apart when we look to you for grace and love. Help me to see the sacred beauty in my domestic church where many prayers are voiced to you throughout the care of my family and household. Please continue to strengthen me and give me peace in my vocation. Bless us all this day, Lord, as we live together, pray together, eat together, and work together in the blessedness of our family. Amen.

Sample excerpt from Recipe Card from book:

A Savory Broth of Unforgettable Teachings

“How do I get my family to spend more time together and treat Sundays as the Lord’s day?”

I set the tone in my home for Sundays, and I also set the parameters and expectations for my family regarding Mass and Sunday dinner: not planning unnecessary shopping trips by fostering an atmosphere of rest and fun with friends and relatives, and hopefully even finding a quiet time to ponder and pray.

Excerpt from book:

“I remember when I was a little girl drying dishes after dinner each evening while my mother washed. I never thought of it being a painful or annoying chore. I actually enjoyed it because I was doing something with my mother. I was always bursting at the seams to let my mother in on the latest clues I had discovered in the many adventures of the Nancy Drew books I was reading at the time. She listened intently as I chattered away to her. She seemed very interested in me recounting the stories. In no time, the dishes were all clean, dried, and put away. There were other times when–in between the Nancy Drew talk–I could casually insert something that was on my mind. It was my mother’s and my time to talk as she passed the clean dishes to me, an I dried them and put them away.

Don’t be afraid to get your kids involved with household chores. You can make it personal by investing time in your conversations with them while you are busy with your tasks. As a mother, I have found that sometimes it is much easier to have a discussion about an important or sensitive topic while doing something side by side rather than face-to-face with our children. Children are more apt to open up to us while we are spending time with them…”

“Grace Cafe is the “cookbook” we each wish we had for living life as a Catholic wife and mother – a realistic, yet very prayerful guide towards living out our vocation.

When reading this book, I found myself reflecting back to younger days with my now teenage sons and wishing I’d had this resource back then! Donna-Marie reminds us in Grace Cafe that mothering is a lifelong role filled with many joys and a few struggles too. She gracefully gives wisdom for dealing with all ends of the mothering spectrum.

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle’s books are always firmly rooted in Catholic doctrine and filled with references from the Catechism, scripture and papal encyclicals. And yet, Donna-Marie has a true knack for helping this sometimes heady material seem both relevant and accessible. When you read Grace Cafe, you will be both edified and inspired – I can hear Donna-Marie’s soothing voice and uplifting words like a warm hug from a special friend in both books.

Buy two copies – one for you, and one for a beloved friend or family member. Grace Cafe is one to share and enjoy over and over!”~Lisa Hendey, author and founder of Catholic Mom.com

THE DOMESTIC CHURCH: ROOM BY ROOM: A STUDY GUIDE FOR MOTHERS

 

 

VERY POPULAR MOTHER’S STUDY GUIDE USED ALL AROUND THE WORLD

The Domestic Church: Room By Room: A Mother's Study Guide

Study your faith ROOM BY ROOM! Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle provides a guide to holiness for Catholic mothers in this inspiring study guide. The book is divided into “rooms,” each focusing on a different aspect of our spiritual journey toward God. It draws on the Scriptures and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to provide a comprehensive understanding of the vocation of motherhood.  Perfect for individual or group study and is complete with a leader’s guide in front and Answer guide in back. Each chapter has two parts and two sets of study questions. Paperback. 254 pages. $18.95 


FROM THE INTRODUCTION:

“The gift of conceiving and carrying a human life within one’s own body–under one’s heart– and then giving birth to and raising this little person is almost beyond depiction-and nothing short of miraculous. The gift of a child entrusted to a woman through adoption is also an incredible blessing.

The vocation of motherhood is a sublime privilege and am awesome responsibility. By partaking in a partnership with God, through her marital vows, a mother experiences a special communion with the mystery of life as it develops within her very being. In the case of adoption,a mother also experiences a motherly bonding and communion with the new life that has been entrusted to her. Blessed Pope John Paul II told us that this communion “is decisive in laying down the foundation for a new human personality” as she raises her child. Mothers are also remarkably responsible to some degree for the sanctification of their spouses and their children.

I wish to impress upon mothers what a gift it is to be a mother. Our vocation is filled to the brim with blessings, abounding with joy, beauty, and grace when we wholeheartedly embrace it with prayerful hearts!”

MOTHER TERESA AND ME: TEN YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP

 

 

$14.95 each


A brush with fame blossomed into something far more spiritual, much longer lasting –infinitely more beautiful…

 

 

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle will never forget the first time she laid eyes on Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Hunched, frail, shorter than one of Donna’s own children, the aging servant of the poorest of the poor cut an unassuming figure awaiting the start of Mass with her Missionary of Charity sisters. They would speak briefly after the liturgy – Mother Teresa wanted to meet the mother of such reverent and grace-filled children – and then spend the next ten years intermittently sharing hopes, dreams, and prayers through the mail and in face-to-face conversations.Mother Teresa and Me, Donna-Marie invites you to step inside her deeply personal experiences with one of the greatest souls of modern times. Take her up on the offer and don’t be surprised if you, too, find your heart blessed and your soul inspired by the diminutive nun who left an enormous impression on Donna-Marie – and on the whole world.

“Also, after that week end, I would never again look at a piece of imperfectly fresh fruit with disgust. Each day the women from the shelter, the sisters, and I prepared food for the afternoon and evening soup-kitchen meal from fruits and vegetables donated by local markets. The gifts were the stores’ throwaways, most of the items being slightly spoiled  or simply too far past the “sell-by” date to sell to paying customers. The sisters accepted every edible offering with great appreciation…”

This book was re-released in the 2nd Edition by the Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Company. It contains scans of some of the letters that Mother Teresa sent to Donna-Marie. The second edition is very close to the first edition with a couple of small additions.

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, bestselling author and popular EWTN television and radio personality, accompanies Catholic women through the ups and downs of their lives, encouraging them to be reflections of Christ in all things. With warmth and candor, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle demonstrates why she is so beloved by her readers, viewers, and listeners. Through sometimes-unexpected stories from her own journey, she shows that being a faith-filled Catholic woman does not mean being perfect.

She highlights how the sacraments, the virtues, prayer, Mary and the saints, the works of mercy, and various devotions and practices all offer women grace and guidance for their lives.

CATHOLIC MOM’S CAFE

5

Description: Motherhood is a miraculous vocation – sometimes the miracle is just making it through the day!

Let’s face it: being a mom is not for the faint of heart. Too often we just hit the ground running without giving our faith a second thought. This collection of quick “mini-retreats for moms” can change all that.

Consider these your spiritual “daily vitamins” that will energize you and help you find the faith, hope, and love you’ll need to be the mom God wants you to be – today and every day.

  • Ponderquotes from the Bible and other spiritual readings
  • Offer yourself to the Lord through an easy activity or idea
  • Pray suggested prayers that match the daily theme
  • Savor a little “sound bite” to carry throughout the day

Author, speaker, and EWTN host Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle knows what it’s like to be a busy mother who has to carve time out of her day for the Lord or it just won’t happen. With five kids of her own, she developed this book to fit into a mom’s lifestyle.

One woman noted in an Amazon review, “I love this book. I received it on Nov. 11th and read the “ponder, offer, pray, & savor” for that day and was hooked. I look forward to this every day and it is inspiring to say the least. The “savor” is helpful because it really does stay with you through the day. It helps you know what you will be spiritually conscious of as you go about the day. The author’s way of writing is delicate, practical and to the point. It’s wonderful to know there are women like this still out there. A joy to read and very relatable for anyone. I like how the prayers are in the front of the book to reference back to. I feel I’m actually doing something structured and purposeful for the Lord when I’m short on time. This would make a GREAT gift for anyone.”
