Product Details
Reaching for Heaven, by Michael Amodei, addresses the golden years. As you grow older, a new rhythm sets in one where you can shed the responsibilities that once consumed your days. The hours at work and the bustling activities of parenthood or other vocations have now transformed into something different—a fresh chapter of life, filled with new opportunities for reflection and growth. It’s your time to pivot and focus on God. In Reaching for Heaven, personal stories, humor, and practical advice, Michael Amodei—a lifelong Catholic shares fourteen practices to help enrich your spirituality as you strive for heaven.
Reaching for Heaven shares what older Catholics need to hear to make the most of their time. Reaching for Heaven contends that even a small investment in time and energy thinking about your golden years can have a rich payoff as you remember the past, act in the present, and plan for the future. Amodei builds on his own spiritually rich memories, including his view from the fifty-yard line at Notre Dame Stadium, to show how you can invent your own life plan by selecting from spiritual habits and practices that have formed and strengthened Catholics for centuries. By creating both short- and long-term goals, you can
- cultivate a deeper prayer life by praying the Liturgy of the Hours;
- get more out of scripture by taking a class or participating in a group Bible study;
- make a pilgrimage to a holy site or shrine (Amodei recommends the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto either in France or at the University of Notre Dame);
- correct past wrongs and heal past injuries not only by apologizing to someone you’ve hurt but also by making amends;
- strengthen family bonds by writing notes to tell family members what you appreciate about them; and
- draw closer to Mary by consecrating yourself to her.
Reaching for Heaven includes questions for reflection. It is an excellent resource for personal or small-group study.
