Lord, Have Mercy Book Review

Have you seen the latest release from St. Paul Center, Lord, Have Mercy? My husband and I read through it together last night and loved it. We will definitely be adding it to our resources as our seven year old continues preparing for her First Confession and First Holy Communion!

My brain is still recovering from putting together this year’s massive gift guide (be sure to enter the amazing giveaway for over $4,000 in prizes if you haven’t already!) so Sean wrote a short review, before leaving for his adoration hour last night, for me to share with you all this morning on launch day! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for a coupon code!

Lord, Have Mercy Book Review

“Lord, Have Mercy” by epic Catholic bible scholar Scott Hahn and his coauthor, Emily Stimpson Chapman compose a biblical engaging story of the Sacrament of Confession.  

Adam and Eve in the Garden
Eve taking a bite of the apple

Beginning with the Fall of Adam and Eve, Scott and Emily lead us to the Redemption of Man.  Intriguingly, we are given a glimpse into how the Kings and Prophets of old were subject to the same deceits of Satan as Adam and Eve.  They faced evil without the grace of the Sacraments which only Christ could bring.  

In “Lord, Have Mercy”, the parent and child will appreciate Confession as Christ’s great act of mercy upon us and upon the whole world!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
