Growing in Faith

Alive Publishing is delighted to inform you of a new title, published posthumously, called Growing in Faith, A Panoramic View of Salvation History by Mgr Paul Watson, former Director of the Maryvale Institute, Birmingham.

Growing in Faith is a panoramic, bird’s eye view of salvation history, rooted in the Scriptures and the teaching of the Church and drawing on Paul Watson’s long and rich experience as a parish priest and educator. Growing in Faith is a must read for anyone eager to deepen
their faith.

Written in the final months of his life as he wrestled with terminal illness, Paul found hope writing it; you will find inspiration reading it.

Words of Hope

Fr Ivano Millico, priest of the Diocese of Westminster, has published a small booklet for the Jubilee Year, 'Words of Hope'.

Holy Hours

Resources from the Bishops' Conference to draw people to a deeper encounter with Jesus through Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Jesus said to his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?” Matthew 26:40. A holy hour is a time of worship where we spend one hour completely devoted to Christ in prayer. Holy hours are most commonly prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament in Adoration, however you can also have a holy hour at home with family or friends.

There are eight themed PDF downloads to provide guided prayer and reflection, with moments of silence in the presence of the Lord, to encourage people to be open to how Jesus is speaking to each of us. It is important to note that each of the holy hours can be led as a communal act of worship, or in a more personal and contemplative way.

The themes are: Creation, Eucharist, Forgiveness, Jubilee, Justice, Marriage and Family, Risen Jesus, Vocation.

We Dare to Hope

It is a resource for small group faith-sharing and for individual meditation, featuring five sessions on the jubilee theme of Christian Hope.
