Arise to Blessedness: A Journal Retreat with Eight Modern Saints Who Lived the Beatitudes

Take inspiration from eight modern saints who exemplify each of the Beatitudes within their own human stories. Let them guide you as you examine the state of your own heart and willingness to aspire to eternal blessedness. Using conceptual artwork, journal prompts, scripture and prayers inspired by Jesus’ own words of the “Our Father,” readers will reflect on their own obstacles to blessedness and begin to dismantle the boundaries that keep them from heaven. Perfect for a personal retreat or to share in a group setting.
