| | Description | Author Francis Fernandez-Carvajal makes generous use of the writings of the great saints as he brings you focused and moving meditations on themes taken from the Mass readings for that day, the liturgical season, and more. This work is rich and extensive enough to serve as your spiritual reading for a lifetime, as it helps you relate the particulars of the message of Christ to the ordinary circumstances of your day. Each volume is small enough for you to carry it to Adoration or some other suitable place for meditation. The whole set comes with a handsome slipcase that prevents wear-and-tear on the individual volumes. | |

 AMAZING May 05, 2006
By Steven R. McEvoy
"MCWPP"
This is an amazing Catholic meditation and daily reflection series. The seven volumes have daily readings for each day of the church year as well as volume 6 & 7 being special Feast Days. The readings draw heavily upon the writings of Josemaria Escriva the founder of Opus Dei, Pope John Paul II, and the daily readings from the common liturgy for that day. The Sundays have three sets of readings depending on if we are in year A, B, or C in the church readings. These devotions are all about 6 pages long and divided into 3 sections. They can be read all as a lump or part in the morning, midday and evening. I find that with every day there is so much meat in these devotions that I am already planning on reading them again next year.
"We have a duty to rest. Resting in order to serve God and other people better.
We should learn to rest. If we can avoid becoming totally exhausted we should not fail to do so. God wants us to look after our health, and to know how to recover our strength. It is part of the fifth commandment. We need to rest in order to be fit, to restore lost energy, and so that our work may be all the more effective. Above all, we need it so as to serve God and other people better."
Francis Fernandez
In Conversation With God Volume #3 p.217
"For this reason asking advice about reading is an important part of the virtue of prudence, very especially if it is a question of theological or philosophical books, which can radically affect our formation and even our faith itself. How important it is to be right about books! It is still more important to consult our spiritual director about books specifically destined to aid the formation of our soul."
Francis Fernandez
In Conversation With God - Volume #3 p.117
Are but two samplings of what I have already copied out into my journal this year. There is a complete subject, and biblical reference index in volume 7, unfortunately the earlier volumes indexes only go as far as that volume #. The indexes are subject, and reference quoted by church Fathers, Popes and Saints. These books will draw anyone deeper into a faith and a life of action based upon that faith.

A Wonderful Series of Meditations for the Lent/Easter season Mar 29, 2000
I first stumbled upon In Conversation with God when I was going through the process of converting to Catholicism. This volume was a great benefit in my spiritual walk at that time, and continues to be so today. Each day has a reading that focuses on the daily Mass readings from that day and how to apply the scriptures to your personal life. In Conversation with God is wonderfully written, loyal to the Magisterium of the Church, and provides much food for thought to enhance your prayer life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

In Conversation With God Apr 29, 2009
By Diane Wright
"Benedictine Oblate"
This book is absolutely the best to go with any other "readings" that you may have. Its a Bible companion that you will find addictive. I have the entire set and am very happy with them. I highly recommend this set, its simple, down to earth and gives the best in daily meditations. You may find it "stuck" to your hand.

essential for every catholic home Mar 15, 2009
By Maria . Classic Mystery Lover
"Maria from Marietta"
This is part of a collection which covers the entire liturgical year. A member of our parish gave the set to my husband when he converted to Catholicism. My husband loves it so much he gave a set to each of our children before they went to college. There is a daily devotion, a few pages long, not too much. So you can read it in small doses. Once you have this set, you will have everything you need to lead an authentic Christian life. It covers everything; theology, prayer life, growing in virtue, patience with others, your attitude towards your work,your studies, everything. And, yes,the kids read it and they like it ,too.
The set is a little expensive but you can always buy it one volume at a time. It's worth it.

A challenge to Catholics, Christians and others of good will Dec 11, 2004
By Pete Vere
For those seriously seeking to grow in holiness and bring some order to their daily prayer life, I strongly recommend this series. Drawing upon Sacred Scripture, the writings of the saints, and his own life experiences, the author brings together three daily meditations (about five to ten minutes each) that center around the Scripture readings of the Mass that day.
Imparted in these meditations are knowledge of the faith, advice on how to pray more fervently, and a clear understanding of virtue and its importance. It also inspires us to serve God faithfully. A good Catholic answer to the latest Protestant craze over "The Purpose Driven Life".
