Seventh stop along the blog tour!

Book Review: Catholic Mom's Cafe

 

Ponder. 

Offer.
Pray. 

Savor. 

Four quick steps to get the day going. 

Catholic Mom's Cafe: Five-Minute Retreats for Every Day of the Year offers daily entries that are meaty enough to be meaningful and short enough to be manageable. 

Ponder a quote. 

Offer a thought. 

Pray a short prayer. 

Savor a Godsend. 

I opened the book at random, and found this great quote from Dorothy Day: 

"Because I am a woman involved in practical cares, I cannot give the first half of the day to these things, but must meditate when I can, early in the morning and on the fly during the day. Not in the privacy of a study - but here, there and everywhere - at the kitchen table, on the train, on the ferry, on my way to and from appointments and even while making supper or putting [my daughter] to bed."

Dorothy Day and Donna-Marie ... these two understand. 

Catholic Mom's Cafe will be here, there, and everywhere in my house.
