Christmas Catalogue 2023

Dear Friends,

As another year draws to a close, it feels as though we have become ever used to experiencing four seasons in one day as opposed to four throughout the year.

I hope 2023 has brought each of you much peace and contentment and you have felt drawn, ever closer, to your faith throughout the trials and tribulations of the last 12 months. I am delighted to be continuing with my online Garden Mass which, many of you will know, began during the pandemic. It brings together people of faith from all over the world. It is wonderful to sit, pray, reflect, and celebrate together. If you are unable to attend church in person, please join us each Sunday at www. rpbooks.co.uk/holy-mass-online You are most heartily welcome!

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to blight so many, we have thought creatively and sensitively about the right products to advance your faith life this Advent.

Stations of the Infancy

Denis McBride C.Ss.R.

Also available as an eBook

“The format of the book is simple. Fourteen episodes are chosen from the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, except for the very first, which is taken from John and which stresses the awesome reality of God becoming truly human. Each episode has the same shape: a ter the opening response there is a scripture reading, followed by the author’s personal

reflection, then a prayer and a closing response. Fourteen carefully chosen works of art match each station as appropriate. The author, with his usual aplomb, makes the scenes come vividly alive and has created a beautiful, thoughtful book.”
