Overview

Honored as a finalist in the ""Religion: Christianity"" category for the 2021 International Book Awards. In her second book, ""For the Sake of His Sorrowful Passion: Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet with Scripture and Art,"" Meggie K. Daly takes the reader on a one-of-a-kind personal, historical, and prayerful journey. The book is an excellent meditational resource for praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet, but so much more. The author reveals the impact of Divine Mercy in her own life and how the Divine Mercy Chaplet brought her home to the Catholic Church. She explains why meditating on Christ's passion is such a powerful tool for our prayer life and why it's so pleasing to God the Father, which motivates the reader to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Through a detailed biography of St. Faustina, the reader comes to know the saint as a dear friend. This background information transforms the paragraphs of the Diary of St. Faustina into a more intimate personal and spiritual encounter. Daly unwraps all five Divine Mercy devotions and Christ's associated promises as found in the Diary. Thirty decades of bead-by-bead meditations replete with beautiful artwork, Scripture, and original text focus the reader vividly on the passion and death of Christ while praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. In her signature style, Daly combines Scripture and art masterpieces with multiple points of entry into Christ's passion. Jesus asked St. Faustina to pray the Stations of the Cross frequently. In response to this invitation, Daly shares her own meditations, coupled with gorgeous imagery for the Stations of the Cross, again with multiple entry points. Additionally, the author shares how she weaves the Divine Mercy Chaplet into her Rosary on days when she meditates on the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. Whether new to the Divine Mercy devotions or a committed devotee, who prays the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily, this book will deepen your prayer life and add new options for meditation. This book is available in Color paperback, B&W paperback, Kindle, and ePub.

For the Sake of His Sorrowful Passion is based on the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and is rooted in author Meggie K. Daly's personal conversion story-a story that connects with the reader and the universal need for God's mercy. A wonderful means of meditation that brings us closer to God. KAYE PARK HINCKLEYAward-winning author of nine novels, including The Wind that Shakes the Corn and Absence, short stories, and blogger Meggie K. Daly's new book, For the Sake of His Sorrowful Passion, is a beautiful meditational book that will help readers to understand and focus more deeply on the passion and death of Christ via the Divine Mercy Chaplet. The artwork is breathtaking, and the meditations are spot on. ELLEN GABLE HRKACHAuthor, editor, publisher, past president of the Catholic Writers Guild There is no other book like For the Sake of His sorrowful Passion. It's a most necessary and useful aid to praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet with multiple options of entering the Passion narrative. Part confession, part history, part prayer book-I loved it all.
