Catholic Wisdom for a Mother’s Heart is a creative and practical guide for a wide range of domestic church situations. Catholic women can live out their familial vocation with seasoned, simple suggestions for answering Christ’s universal call to holiness. Lovely poems conclude each chapter on a note of warmth that will lift hearts beyond the kitchen and up the path toward heaven.
 
This resource is for Catholic mothers (and grandmothers who often fill the motherly role) who are in the trenches raising their children through thick and thin amid the bombardment of the culture. They need and crave the guidance, encouragement, and affirmation that this welcoming book will offer.

About the Author

Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle is a wife, mother, grandmother, blogger, EWTN television host, and popular international speaker who thoroughly enjoys her vocation of motherhood and grand-motherhood. Though passionate about inspiring and encouraging others, she never planned to be an author, TV Host or international speaker. It prayerfully unfolded in her life with God's grace. She has taught Faith Formation for thirty years and is an award winning and best-selling journalist and author of more than thirty books with more than a quarter million books sold (some translated into various languages). Donna-Marie knew Saint Teresa of Calcutta for ten years and became a Lay Missionary of Charity founding a branch of the lay Order. Mother Teresa wrote the Foreword for one of Donna-Marie's books, endorsed others, and encouraged Donna-Marie to continue to write. Through her writings and talks, Donna-Marie endeavors to pass on the blessings. 
Donna-Marie has created three television series for EWTN: "Everyday Blessings for Catholic Moms," "Catholic Mom's Cafe," and "Feeding Your Family's Soul" which she hosts. Donna-Marie has received Apostolic Blessings from Saint John Paul II who has blessed her books. Donna-Marie maintains blogs and writes on a variety of subjects in national and international media: including: L'Osservatore Romano, Magnificat magazine, the National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor Newsweekly, Catholic World Report, Catholic Mom, Integrated Catholic Life and more. In addition to her own TV shows, she has appeared on international media including: Fox News, EWTN News Nightly, Zenit News, Vatican Insider, Rome Reports, Vatican Radio, and is a frequent guest on EWTN's Bookmark, Women of Grace, EWTN LIVE, and Sunday Night Prime, as well as on national radio and television. Her memoir is entitled The Kiss of Jesus in which she shares her crooked path and God's great mercy.  Learn more about Donna-Marie at her website: donnacooperoboyle.com.
 

Review

“Truly a work of love that will lift up mothers in their vocations and encourage them in the challenging role they face in society today.” —Jean M. Heimann, Catholicfireblogspot.com
 
“Donna has given us the beautiful gift of ‘recipes’ we can follow to bring peace, joy, and happiness into our day—helping us to create the kind of home that makes holy families!” —Sally Robb, wife, mother of six, and radio host, “Thread of Grace” and “Mary’s Touch” on Catholic Radio International

"Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle’s writing has encouraged me as a mom ever since I stumbled upon her books more than a decade ago. Her newest book promises to be as inspiring and comforting as her previous work. Short chapters make it readable in small bursts of time, and the book is peppered with recipes, not for cookies or salads but for faithful family living. Donna-Marie’s style is gentle, but make no mistake: her faith is strong, and it shows." —Barb Szyszkiewicz, CatholicMom.com
