My Advent cookies!

- Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle
Reply

Do you enjoy baking Christmas cookies with the little ones? Or with the “big” ones?! I recently wrote a book: Christmas Joy with Grandma! (published by Marian Press) and decided to conclude it with one of my own recipes for healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Because my story’s Grandma bakes cookies with her grandchildren Anne-Marie and Joseph, I decided to call my cookies, “Advent cookies”!

I hope to start a new trend in Catholic and Christian families — baking Advent cookies when getting together during the Advent season to light the Advent candle or just while enjoying one another’s company in the home — the domestic church during the Advent season. Baking these cookies can help to highlight the important season of Advent when we are to prepare our hearts for the Christ Child at Christmas!

I’m delighted to know that a family whom has read my book decided to use my recipe in my Christmas Joy with Grandma! book to make a batch of Advent cookies (which, by the way, are suitable for any time of the year).

Have a look at their fun in the photos below and see Sophia Monica and Olivia making the cookies. Receiving these photos brought a big smile to my face! I’m glad they had so much fun and enjoyed the end results! They are creating warm memories in their family while also relishing in their precious present moments together. This beautiful family also seized the opportunity to capture a few photos for their Christmas card!

Incidentally, I asked if they enjoyed the cookies, and Mom Allison said,

“Yes! We did enjoy the cookies! They were nice and flaky hot out of the oven, and became more like a light traditional cookie once cooled. The house smelled great!”

I hope more families will make and enjoy my “famous” Advent cookies. I think I’ll start a contest soon. Families who send to me their photos of the cookies and of making them will be put into a drawing to win something special! Stay tuned for more information on the contest!

“Christmas Joy with Grandma!” is full of sweet details in both the text and the illustrations. An inter-generational chapter book, “Christmas with Grandma!” invites readers of all ages on an intentionally calm and delightful journey with Grandma, Joseph and Anne-Marie through the Advent season and into the joy of Christmas morning.

With tender suggestions and touching memories woven throughout the story, this book really does encompass the hope, peace, joy and love of the Advent season. My children love getting in seasonal jammies and snuggling in with a good book. This story is a welcome addition to our winter reading.

A new review just came in for “Christmas Joy with Grandma!”

I began reading Christmas Joy with Grandma aloud to my three children and after Chapter 1, they grabbed the book to read for themselves!  The illustrations are engaging and evoke a sense of nostalgia for this mom.   The story is great at introducing not only the Christmas story through scripture but the rich Advent traditions of the Advent wreath and creche.  I do think this book would be a great gift from grandparents to read aloud to their grandchildren to make special Christmas traditions of their own.

The Wonders of the Miraculous Medal!

- Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

I recently had the blessing of a radio interview with Michael O’Neill on his show “The Miracle Hunter.” We had a very beautiful discussion about the history of the Miraculous Medal and also its relevance today. You might know Michael for this particular show and perhaps also for his television shows on EWTN.

I love his shows for he delves into rich history and comes up with amazing content to stir our hearts and inspire us to aspire to holiness!

Here’s a bit from the EWTN website: “‘Miracle Hunter’ Michael O’Neill delves into the fascinating world of miracles and takes listeners on a hunt that explores the greatest mysteries and marvels of the Catholic Church. From visions of the Virgin Mary and inexplicable medical healings through the intercession of Saints to the miracles of the Eucharist and those who bear the wounds of Christ, listeners will journey through the wonders that have inspired the fascination and faith of believers for centuries.”

Well, there was so much more I could say about the amazing sacramental — the Miraculous Medal, but alas, there’s only a certain amount of time on the radio! I hope you’ll get a chance to read my book, The Miraculous Medal: Stories, Prayers, and Devotions which you can see and order below. It is filled with much enthralling detail and many miraculous stories.

Our sister St. Faustina guides us!

I had the blessing and pleasure of chatting once again with Chris Sparks on “Sparks of Mercy” podcast. We discussed a tough topic. You can read the episode details below.

EPISODE DETAILS

It may be the hardest teaching Christ ever gave us: “love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you” (Lk 5:44). How do we live it? With her customary cheerfulness and down to earth practicality, author Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle takes the impossible into the realm of the commonsensical, offering practical advice on living loving mercy toward our enemies and so transforming our modern world.

I recently came across my conversation with the wonderful folks at the Busted Halo Radio Show in NYC. On air, we discussed two of my books. By Dawn’s Early Light: Prayers and Meditations for Catholic Military Wives, as well as Catholic Wisdom for a Mother’s Heart.

I disclosed the reasons why it was important to me to write a book of prayers for the heroic military women (wives, sisters, mothers, aunts, daughters, cousins, friends, and any woman associated with the military). We also discussed Catholic women, Catholic mothers, and their amazing vocation, and so much more.

I hope you enjoy our conversation. Just click here to listen at your convenience. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below … God bless you!

The Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Catechism teaches, “Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony, and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: ‘The Son of God … loved me and gave himself for me’ [Gal 2:20]. He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation, ‘is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that … love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings’ without exception” (CCC, 478).

Have a look at an excerpt of my book “52 Weeks with Saint Faust in a: A Year of Grace and Mercy.” You can read it here.

EWTN television is airing my visits with Johnnette Benkovic Williams this week. In case you will miss them, you can also see them in these links:

Show # 2 right here

So, you can watch anytime you’d like! 🙂 Please feel free to share this blog post with others. 🙂

By the way, Ralph Martin read my book 52 Weeks with Saint Faustina and offered his opinion. He said: “I’m not usually keen about reading one of the 30 days or 52 weeks kind of books as I don’t usually find them going into depth enough to decently treat the saint they are focusing on.

But it was different with Donna-Marie’s book. As I began to skim through it in preparation for doing a Television interview with her I realized that this book was different and I wanted to read it from cover to cover.”

And he continued, “This is the best integration of the main events of St. Faustina’s life and the best presentation in a clear, orderly way, of her spiritual teaching that I know of. I am very grateful for this book and highly recommend it.”

Pray for Ukraine with Mother Mary

- Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

In honor of my dear mother, whose birthday is today (she would have been 102 today), and our dear Mother in Heaven, I designed this Novena Prayer Cord to pray for Ukraine today. Do you like it?

For each “Novena Prayer Cord” sold, I am donating $5.00 to help Ukraine. The money goes directly to help those most in need.

Once again, I have used 9 beads to symbolize a novena of prayer (as I have in my 2 previous “Pray for Ukraine” Novena Prayer Cords). This special cord bears an Immaculate Heart of Mary medal as well as a St. Benedict Crucifix. The colors are reminiscent of the Ukrainian flag. One can pray any prayer 9 times (for a novena). I recommend praying to Mary by praying 9 Memorares in a row each time the Novena Prayer Cord is used.

Memorare Prayer

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

New color! Lighter blue.

NEW COLOR! As I mentioned the other day, I have designed a “Pray for Ukraine Novena Prayer Cord.” I have used beads in the colors of the Ukraine flag, a St. Benedict Crucifix, a St. Michael medal, and pretty silver plated components to be used to pray a novena of prayer for Ukriane. The nine beads represent a Novena of prayer. The novena can be continual. You can use whatever prayer you would like to pray on the 9 beads. I recommend praying the St. Michael prayer.

This Novena Prayer Cord will come to you with a St. Michael prayer card and a velvet gift bag. Saint Michael is the Patron Saint for Kyiv, which is the capital of Ukraine. Get the Novena Prayer Cord blessed by a priest or deacon and it will become a powerful sacramental.

The Novena Prayer Cord will also be a prayerful reminder to pray for those in need. Five dollars from every Ukraine Novena Prayer Cord sold will be donated directly to efforts to help those most in need in Ukraine and to those who have fled.

Saint Michael Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel, 
defend us in battle. 
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, 
and do thou, 
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, 
thrust into hell Satan, 
and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world 
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

My presentation on the Miraculous Medal

I recently presented a talk at Queen of the Miraculous Medal Parish in Jackson, Michigan. It is such a lovely church dedicated to the Queen of the Miraculous Medal. I felt very blessed to be there.

The presentation was live-streamed, so you can see it now even if you missed it the night of March 13. Unfortunately, due to a slight technical glitch, the first 5 or 6 minutes did not stream and was not video-taped. However, I do have an audio of the talk and you can listen to the first part of the audio and then you can watch the video (in the link below the audio). How’s that for “jerry-rigging”?

(just a screen shot of the video)

I suggest listening to this very short beginning of the presentation which includes some important information. You can listen by clicking below.

Dynamic Women of Faith Conference

- Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

A wonderful retreat for your Lenten journey!

Coming up on Saturday, March 19, St. Joseph’s feast day is the Dynamic Women of Faith Women’s Conference. It is being held virtually. You can see additional information here to learn more and to register. I have spoken in-person at one of the Women’s Conferences and also spoke virtually during the pandemic.

Standing with some of the beautiful moms and babies (born and unborn!) at the Dynamic Women of Faith Conference.

The founder of “Dynamic Women of Faith,” Dorothy Pilarski of Toronto, Canada took time out of her busy schedule to answer a few questions from me.

Donna-Marie: You have been doing this for sometime now, Dorothy. Why are you passionate about putting on these types of events?

Dorothy Pilarski: Donna-Marie, the reason I am so passionate about putting on these types of events is quite simply, because it changes lives. I remember the year my now husband proposed to me after a talk by Kimberly Hahn, at a Defending the Faith conference at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. It was a life changing and riveting experience. At that same conference I heard Dr. Alice von Hildebrand speak. Although I was raised a Catholic, (born in Poland on the same day May 18 as St. John Paul 11), I had never met women that were so rooted in their faith and spoke about it so articulately.

After attending that conference, I thought, Surely there have to be women like that in my own community! I set out to find them. Over the years, that process involved hosting Catholic events, starting http://www.DynamicWomenFaith.com and www.CatholicMomsGroup.com. Catholic women need to hear testimonies and  learn about their Catholic faith. Our ministry is faith partners with the Archdiocese of Toronto under the  pastoral care of His Eminence Cardinal Collins.

After years of hosting events for women, moms started approaching us saying that their daughters needed to hear these speakers, and so we introduced Calling ALL Girls. It’s been a very popular mother-daughter event. These events have also helped our ministry find Catholic Moms Group Leaders. It’s all been very exciting.

Donna-Marie: How long have you been doing this?

Dorothy: I have been hosting Catholic Moms Groups for over 25 years! Our partnership with the Archdiocese of Toronto is in our seventh year. The Dynamic Women of Faith conference is in it’s 13th year! We have ministered to thousands of women. At each of our live conferences we have given each participant a Miraculous Medal. We now have a membership community and training available for moms who want to start a Catholic Moms Group at their parish.

Donna-Marie: What have you observed in the people who attend and what have they said to you or to others?

Dorothy: Donna-Marie, you have spoken at our Dynamic Women of Faith conference. I just can’t wait to hear your talk this year!

We are thrilled to have you back a second time. You’ve also been on Midday Moms, our outreach to Catholic Moms during the pandemic. I have been a big fan of yours reading at least a dozen of your books. You see how these events and books change lives, as do the Miraculous Medals. Working in hosting these events is like planting seeds. Exposing women, like in my own case, who might have been cultural Catholics and showing them that there is more!

Donna-Marie: Yes, for sure these events are life-transforming as are the blessed sacramentals. Thank you very much for your kind words about my books and speaking, Dorothy. I am very much looking forward to speaking at this event. I pray that God will continue to bless you and your family and all those who will attend the events and all whom are touched by the ministry. God bless you!

Dorothy has graciously provided this link below to view our video chat “Wisdom for a Mother’s Heart” during her “Midday Moms” program during the pandemic. I hope you enjoy it if you get a chance to see it.

Christmas Novena Beads

Christmas Novena Prayer Cord

Have you prayed the Saint Andrew Christmas novena? I have designed this prayer cord which contains 15 white “Pearl” beads capped with decorative silver plated components and on one end — a lovely silver Saint Benedict crucifix (measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches long) and on the other end — a Holy Family (Nativity scene) Medal. It measures approximately 11 1/2 inches long. Using a prayer cord such as this will help us keep count of our Novena prayers.

This prayer cord or chaplet comes in a red velvet gift bag along with with a beautiful Holy Family prayer card with the novena prayer on the reverse side. I will post it today for purchase on my website. What do you think? Would you use one yourself? Would you get one and tuck it away for next Advent season? Would you pray this novena prayer at any other time of the year?

According to the EWTN website:

“Beginning on St. Andrew the Apostle’s feast day, November 30, the following beautiful prayer is traditionally recited fifteen times a day until Christmas. This is a very meditative prayer that helps us increase our awareness of the real focus of Christmas and helps us prepare ourselves spiritually for His coming.”

The prayer: Hail and blessed be the hour and moment In which the Son of God was born Of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, [here mention your request]through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen.

Donna-Marie on Springfield’s “Real to Reel” show

I presented a Divine Mercy Women’s Retreat Day at St. John the Evangelist parish in Agawam, Mass. last October. I gave two talks on Divine Mercy in a woman’s life with St. Faustina as our guide and conducted a workshop in which the women could share of their hearts — their struggles and joys, and how they have navigated various issues, to whom they looked to and for whom they spiritually mother — and just so much more.

It was so wonderful to spend precious time with the women gathered there. Springfield Diocese’s “Real to Reel” television show interviewed me and some of the beautiful women who attended the event. You can see the interview below.

Saint Benedict Chaplet

- Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

Brand NEW creation! I designed this with Benedictine Monks in mind — two Monks in particular. The two Benedictine friends have prayed for me and for the ministry. I wanted to make something special for them for Christmas. I thought they could keep the chaplet of beads, or “prayer cord” in their pockets as a protection and a reminder of prayer. After it is blessed, it becomes a sacramental.

I decided to make more of them and make them available for you for purchase. Though I made them for my Benedictine friends, this prayer cord is appropriate for anyone (male, female, Religious or layperson). Saint Benedict is beloved among many and he is known for his powerful protection.

When a St. Benedict medal or crucifix is blessed with the FULL exorcism blessing, it becomes a powerful “weapon” against evil. While my supplies last, I’ll include a leaflet with the full description of the St. Benedict medal and background on St. Benedict.

In addition, I will include a copy of the exorcism blessing for the medals, which can be carried out by a Catholic priest or deacon.

The St. Benedict Crucifix and the lovely and sturdy St. Benedict Cross, both measure about one and a half inches long. The cord measures approximately 10 and a half inches long and is made out of brown and white swirled glass beads and silver plated components and end caps on the beads. A decade of prayer can be prayed on the cord, or the entire Rosary, praying one decade at a time. In addition, one can pray a novena of prayer and an extra prayer on the 10th bead in thanksgiving (like Mother Teresa has done).

What do you think? You can comment below if you’d like.

It comes in a velvet gift bag and sells for $35.99 plus shipping. Or, two for $66.99! I will include a leaflet about the St. Benedict medal. I will also include the blessing formula for a priest or deacon to use to bless your prayer cord.

“Birds of the Air” Novena Bracelet

- Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle
Reply
Have you ever seen my “Birds of the Air” creation? It’s a special Novena prayer bracelet to remind us of God‘s loving providence (Matthew 6:26).

“Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?”

By the way, the little picture of the bird on the clothesline with the patchwork quilt (on the card) is actually my painting ☺️. This photo shows the front and back of the prayer card that comes with the bracelet which comes in a gift box. The little “faith“ charm on the bracelet is actually a silver color. In this picture, due to the lighting, it looks a bit different. 

It comes in a gift box with the prayer card and sells for $42.99 plus shipping. Or, two for $79.99!
