Free books!

To celebrate this novena of Divine Mercy & prepare for pilgrimage...

I said I would bug you this week about Amazon reviews, but that bugging is going to have to wait, because more important business is to be dealt with: we are in the middle of the Divine Mercy novena!

The novena of Divine Mercy runs from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday. It’s a big deal, people. Lots of mercy to be had! For you! For loved ones! For people you don’t know! We just have to ask.

You may know that I’m heading to Lithuania this October to pray in front of the original Divine Mercy image. You should come with me.

During this novena, anyone who signs up for my October pilgrimage is getting a free book, Making a Pilgrimage: A Companion for Catholics.

Yep, I’m just handing out free books. If you’re on the fence, it’s time to hop off. Come to Lithuania and Poland. Sign up this week, and get a free book.

But that’s not it. (“Wait, theres’s more!”) Anyone who signs up this week gets entered into a raffle to win a copy of Peggy Noonan’s book John Paul the Great.

So there you go. Come on pilgrimage with me. Be transformed by these sites, these saints, this pilgrimage. Get a free book. Maybe get two free books.

If you were waiting for a sign, this is it.

Vilnius. Krakow. Niepokalanów. Częstochowa. Auschwitz. Łagiewniki. Wadowice.

Come with us.

I will be going live on YouTube tomorrow at 2:15EDT/11:15PDT with my chaplain for the trip, Father Anselm, O.Praem. We’ll be talking about the trip and what we’re most excited about. Have questions about the trip? Join us!

"Mercy not always a peaceful thing, where you just sit and rest in it, but it's like an ocean - where you're just tousled and thrown around and shaken up, but also immersed in it."

Next week, we’ll talk about Amazon reviews. In the meantime, happy Easter and Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!
