Made for Heaven: Easter

Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR, invites you on a pilgrimage this Lent using Made for Heaven: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation.

Christ is risen! Hallelujah!

Fr. Agustino reflects on the role of Mary Magdalene who was the first to see the empty tomb AND the first to proclaim that Jesus had risen from the dead. Yes, Mary had issues—like we do—but she was there following Jesus. She was faithful. Mary Magdalene teaches us that nothing we do (or fail to do) will keep God from loving us and transforming us because we are made for heaven.

Join Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR—founder of Corazón Puro—on a multimedia Lenten journey inspired by St. Francis. Begin the season with a vow of poverty and end at Easter with a heart free from the desert of sin and open to love, serve, and care for others.

Made for Heaven features stunning original art by Valerie Delgado of Pax.Valerie, along with daily meditations on a passage from scripture, reflection questions, prayer, and space for journaling and notetaking.

A life of simplicity and poverty orients you toward God’s love and reminds you that you are made for heaven. Torres says the best way to prepare yourself for that final destination is to live as true pilgrims who need to “travel lightly” and detach from earthly pleasures.

Made for Heaven is perfect for both individual and group use. Free companion videos and a downloadable leader’s guide are available at avemariapress.com. The book and other resources are also available in Spanish.

Look for the Made for Heaven videos on each Sunday in Lent, here on CatholicMom.com at 10 AM Eastern.

Ask for Made for Heaven at your local Catholic bookstore, or order from Amazon.com or Ave Maria Press. Bulk discounts are available for your parish, book club, or prayer group when you purchase the book from Ave Maria Press.

Creados para el cielo: Domingo de Pascua

¡Cristo ha resucitado!

¡Aleluya! El padre Agustino reflexiona sobre el papel de María Magdalena, quien fue la primera en ver la tumba vacía y la primera en proclamar que Jesús había resucitado de entre los muertos. Sí, María tenía problemas, como nosotros, pero ella estaba allí siguiendo a Jesús. Ella fue fiel. María Magdalena nos enseña que nada de lo que hagamos (o dejemos de hacer) impedirá que Dios nos ame y nos transforme porque estamos creados para el cielo.
