Reviews

“Like the psalms, the reflections in this book are written from the heart and express the full range of human emotions: longing and loneliness, repentance and purification, periods of intense suffering and moments of deep joy. They bear poignant witness to the fact that whatever is in our hearts can be offered to Christ as part of our complete gift of self to Him.”

– Bishop Kevin Rhoades, bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Ind.


“Every year when Lent rolls around, I get overwhelmed with options for spiritual reading. This year I won’t have that problem, and neither will you. Lent is an ideal time for single Catholics to focus on growing closer to Christ, and this collection of meditations focused on our single state of life is an ideal way to do that!”

– Mary Beth Bonacci, author and speaker


“These reflections by single Catholics are an ample reminder that the paschal mystery is about learning to pray, fast and give – even when what we most want seems to be taken or delayed. There is spiritual insight and good humor in these pages to nourish all who want to live more readily in the Lord.”

– Father Peter Laird, Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul & Minneapolis, Minn.
