With amazing courage Pope Paul VI faced hardship in his papacy and held steadfast to hope, leading the Church through some of the most turbulent times in recent history. This precious keepsake book underlines his faith, his strength of character in following God's will, and his steady leadership during a formative time for the Church. Compiled on the occasion of his canonization, this pocket-size volume provides readers with an introduction to this often-misunderstood pope whose words and actions have proven to be bold and prophetic for those who wish to follow the way of the Lord. Taken from a wide array of his talks with people from around the world, they highlight what it means to be a disciple today. The compiler, Mary Leonora Wilson, FSP, entered the Daughters of St. Paul on the same day Pope Paul VI was crowned as pontiff. Her special connection and love for the saint is evident in the care taken to choose those words of the holy father's that would most inspire all those who seek God, especially those who face darkness, fear, or seemingly insurmountable odds. With themes on the cross, courage, joy, Mary as Mother, and the Eucharist, readers will be delighted to discover a wealth of wisdom for their own path today. The book also includes a wonderful collection of prayers from the new saint, as well as original prayers from the compiler paired with each meditation, and a brief contemporary biography.

In 1994 Pope John Paul II called for Christians to prepare for the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Jesus. In 1997-99, the Church entered into an immediate period of preparation?a three- year Advent in order that the year 2000 might spiritually be a special "year of grace." In these years of preparation, the Pope emphasized the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love plus the virtue of justice. Inspired by the Pope's challenge, Dayspring from on High is a distinctive Advent devotional: the four weeks of Advent have been divided thematically, beginning with Week One, the virtue of faith; Week Two, the virtue of hope; Week Three, the virtue of justice; and culminating in Week Four with the virtue of love. Dayspring from on High includes some traditional elements like the lighting of the Advent candle and singing or reciting "Come, O Come Emmanuel." A brief quote from Pope John Paul II is the focus of each day's prayer. In addition, the service invites the reader to more personal prayer, which includes a reflection, a resolution, a Scripture reading, and petitions. The service ends with a contemporary profession of faith. Individuals, families, and those involved in the RCIA will find Dayspring from on High a unique way to enter wholeheartedly into Advent.
