Written by Bridget Haase
Praise
As a companion on a retreat or as a guide through the weeks of the year, this book does just what its title promises: it opens doors to the sacred in the most ordinary events of life.
Elizabeth Bookser Barkley, PhD, St. Anthony Messenger
Sr. Bridget Haase has written a gentle gem. There are fifty-two chapters, the number of weeks in the year. The author suggests reading, reflecting, and praying about a chapter per week, but agrees with per month, per day, or on retreat, or various and numerous other occasions. Doors to the Sacred: Everyday Events as Hints of the Holy can serve as friend, acquaintance, or daily companion. It also offers, for those curious to know more, brief biographies of the saints and holy people quoted in the book. This title is highly recommended for parish, seminary, college, and university libraries; and would be a valuable resource for campus ministry programs.
