Catholic Readers discussion

Carrying the imprimatur of Bishop Gregory Parks of the Catholic Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, An Angel of the Beatitudes is a refreshingly honest and beautifully written book that chronicles one mother’s heart-wrenching journey through the darkest of times…through what Emily calls her “great loss”: the death of her youngest daughter, Angel.
Full of thoughts on love, faith, and a Catholic theology of suffering, this collection of reflections will resonate with the entire communion of saints. For those seeking spiritual direction while lost in a sea of despair, this book promises consolation during grief and leads readers toward the eternal and matchless love of God.
If you open your mind to the possibility that suffering can increase your capacity for love, joy, and faith, this honest work straight from a grieving mother’s heart will illuminate that most compelling of beatitudes: “Blessed are those who mourn.”

Thank you so much, Emily. The world needs this book.

I really appreciate your kind words.
