Hi everyone,

My priest recently asked me if I knew of a good meditation on the Blessed Mother's pregancy. He would like to recommend some good spiritual readings on this topic to a young mother who is currently expecting.

Some names that came up were Carryl Houselander and Alice von Hildebrand...neither of whom have children. I sort of told him, tongue in cheek, that mother's don't have time to write!

If you have any ideas please let me know so that I can pass them along to him!

Peace,
Sara Beatty

Chari posted this - Santifying Pregnancy which I think is beautiful and very fitting for what you asked.

Mary,

Do you think Chari would mind if I cut and pasted that and put it in an email to Father?

Also, I wonder if that booklet could be hunted down...any ideas?

Thanks for responding so quickly!

Sara

I'm sure she would be fine with it if you referenced it. There has been discussion about where the pamphlet might be found or reprinting. I'll let Chari know this topic has come up.

"Sanctifying Pregnancy" IS beautiful. I loved it.

PLEASE share it. In that link above, I do believe someone has mentioned that they had found the pamphlet somewhere. Seems like we have another book to write   

Thanks, Mary, for pointing me to this thread.......and, let me know, Sara, if you need any other help.

I hope your priest will find this is helpful to him. Let me know what he thinks!

actually...they only found it used.   

I will talk to my writing "partner" about having it updated & reprinted. Unfortunately, it will be years before we get it out there.

Chari,

I cut and pasted your post to a word document, and I will forward that to Father. I am sure that he will more than appreciate it!

Any more information, like publisher and copyright dates that you could give me would be helpful.

Also, if you would like me to include your name as the author of the article, could you send it to me in a personal message?

Thanks for your help.

Peace to your Advent.

Sara Beatty
