A Little Mandate Book
The timeless wisdom of the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, and Catherine Doherty, foundress of Madonna House, is featured prominently in this new series of books. The theme of Catherine’s Little Mandate—a beautiful distillation of the Gospel of Jesus—weaves throughout and serves as an important foundation. Each book also gives an abundance of brief and profound quotations from Holy Scripture, and quotations from some of the great Catholic saints. These books are small enough to carry anywhere—and their wisdom is arranged in bite-size segments that you can read on the run, whenever you can spare time.
