This do-it-yourself retreat combines the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius with the teachings of Saints Therese of Lisieux, Faustina Kowalska, and Louis de Montfort. Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, has a remarkable gift for inspiring little souls to trust in Jesus, and  his Divine Mercy. As Danielle Bean, editor of Faith & Family magazine, puts it, "The voice of Christ in these pages is one that even this hopelessly distracted wife and mother of eight could hear and respond to."  Your schedule is never too tight to make this retreat! Take one weekend, or break up the meditations for as long a period as you need. Includes practical helps in appendices.
