Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Advent Giveaway

.

My mother-in-law brought Peach a new coloring book a few weeks ago and I fell in love with it. The book was illustrated by a fellow Secular Carmelite and is filled with images of the story of Christmas and the Holy Family.



Some of the pages have simple subtitles and some have scripture.



All of them have beautiful, reverent images of Our Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and the Child Jesus.


I tried to pick a favorite to show you, but they are all so wonderful.



I decided to purchase five copies to give away during Advent. Leave a comment at this post between now and midnight on December 5, and you will have a chance to win one of them. Be sure to leave an email address or another way to get in touch with you. God bless.

    Although my kids would love the books I plead more for prayers from faithful Catholics as our family is one that is affected by the current ban in Calgary of both our Traditional Catholic Mass and receiving communion on the tongue. If you are unaware of our situation look up the Dec. 1 posts on both rorate caeli and Fr. Z's blog wdtprs. Please pray for our family, priest, bishop, and community.

    Hi - I love reading your blog. You have inspired me with many activities to try at home especially during Advent. My 4 yr old would love this coloring book. It would be a great addition to her mass tote bag with her other religous coloring books. :) Thanks for the chance to win.

    YIPPEE...a fun and BEAUTIFUL coloring book.

    It would be hard for me to let the kids color in it. I usually make copies and keep the book forever.
