Description

In the tradition of Michael Gaitley’s bestselling 33 Days to Morning Glory, Three Moments of the Day presents a classic Catholic tradition in a way that is fresh and compelling. Jesuit retreat master Christopher Collins introduces three simple, yet powerful prayer habits that are at the foundation of both the Sacred Heart devotion and Ignatian spirituality and that assist the reader in turning intentionally toward the Sacred Heart of Christ. Readers are guided through morning offering, evening reflection, and how to ponder the gift of the Eucharist throughout the day.

“Fr. Collins gives us a fresh perspective on devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. If we put into practice the wisdom taught in these pages, we can daily renew our encounter with the love and mercy that flows to each of us from Jesus’ Sacred Heart. Carrying the joy of that mercy and love to others is exactly the evangelization that Pope Francis has called for.”
Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson
