Prayer Everywhere
Summary
“The best possible experience of life comes from following Christ. I should know, because I have the best life of anyone I know! The only way to disprove me is to follow Christ and see whether or not I’m right.” Father Gary Caster knows that there can be a confusing number of devotional practices in Catholicism; attending Mass, praying the Rosary, tithing, fasting, performing the Sacraments - all are important, but checking obligations off a list is not the way to a nourished soul. In Prayer Everywhere: The Spiritual Life Made Simple, Father Gary strips Catholicism down to Jesus’ core command: that we let him love us. Regardless of his own fragility, weakness, and sin, Father Gary expects to enter the gates of heaven with a band playing, “When the Saints Go Marching In”. Why? Because he relies on and accepts God’s promises, his mercy, and love. He wants for himself what God wants for him; in fact, he wills what God has promised him. This lies at the heart of how he lives his life with Christ and serves him as a priest. He hopes that at the end of this book, it will lie at the heart of your relationship with Christ, too - and that for the rest of your life, you will just let him love you. Simple, of course, is not the same as easy. Jesus made it abundantly clear that we do not follow him as individuals alone; we follow him as companions. Every human activity and endeavor, no matter how grand or seemingly insignificant, can flow from and express our relationship with Christ. In this practical, conversational, and accessible guide, you’ll learn to open the whole of your life to Christ and intentionally make him a vital part of everything you do. Within the recesses of every human heart is a longing that only God can satisfy. You are the most important work that Jesus is up to, so why not let him be at work in you?

The Little Way of Lent
Summary
St. Therese emphasized the way we do things for God rather than the things we do for him. In that spirit, Lent is less about what we're offering and more about why. That insight transforms this season from one of narrow concern over what to give up into one of joyful freedom to enter into the love of Christ. The meditations in The Little Way of Lent - all colored by St. Therese's Little Way of Spiritual Childhood - will transform your Lenten observance and help you focus on God's redeeming love.

The Way of Simple Love
Summary
“My way is one that is full of confidence and love.” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux) Through her autobiography and an extensive collection of letters, St. Thérèse helped people understand nothing was too little to give Jesus, and nothing done out of love for him was insignificant. Perhaps this is why so many lives still resonate with hers. It is easy to feel insignificant and unimportant. Yet, the clear and compelling language of her story and her letters remains the perfect antidote to such feelings. Fr. Gary Caster writes, “While the language she uses might be new to you, the insights she offers are as eternal as the God who loves us and longs for each of us to be united with him, in the Son, through the Holy Spirit, for all eternity.” St. Thérèse of Lisieux, often called the "Little Flower," has inspired many people to follow Jesus according to her "little way of love." Fr. Gary Caster, whose previous books include The Little Way of Lent and The Little Way of Advent has curated a collection of quotes from this French saint. These inspiring words from her writings have been selected and arranged according to important themes of the spiritual life: confidence, holiness, humility, abandonment, obedience, the love of God, mercy, charity, and suffering. Her devotion to Jesus, Mary, and the Eucharist shine through all of her writings.
