Detox Your Spritual Life in 40 Days
Peter Graystone
A makeover manual with a difference, this does not guarantee that you will drop a dress size or transform your muscle-tone in six weeks, but it does provide the means for a complete check of your spiritual wellbeing. Being out of sorts in this area has a big impact on our physical and emotional health, so each day brings a fresh focus and challenge, a 'detox exercise' and a prayer to help you get in better shape. Here is an imaginative way of taking stock of many aspects of your life, including: eating well; making friends; hoping for the best; healing hurts; surviving disappointment; becoming enthusiastic; being kind; noticing God; praying realistically; and a good deal more. Ideal for using during the forty days of Lent, it is good for all those times when we feel in need of a fresh start.

The Sacred Passion
Luis de la Palma
In this book, Fr. de la Palma provides an aid for meditating on the Passion. He recreates the events of Jesus' life beginning with Holy Thursday and concluding with the burial of Our Lord and a powerful evocation of the coming resurrection. With vivid detail and a constant recognition of the role the Blessed Mother played in those days, Fr. de la Palma helps the reader enter into the Last Supper, the institution of the priesthood and the Eucharist, the arrest of Our Lord, the denial of St. Peter, the trials before Caiaphas and Pilate, the scourging and mocking, and finally, the Crucifixion. His meditations hew closely to the Gospel accounts, adding to them insights from other scriptures and frequently culminating in fervent prayers to Our Lord and Our Lady. Fr. de la Palma emphasizes that through it all, Jesus was offering Himself to the Father of His own fee will for the salvation of the world. This book is a striking reminder of the immensity of that offering of love.
