Missing Mass because of vacation
A new Catholic devotional, Living Affability, is now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats. This 40-day meditational offers readers a thoughtful exploration of the Christian virtue of affability—an often-overlooked but essential part of evangelization and relational holiness.
The book builds upon themes from the theological work The Virtue of Affability or Friendliness and its Relevance in Modern Evangelization and provides a day-by-day guide to growing in approachability and loving presence. Each reflection includes a quote from Scripture, a saint, or a pope, followed by a short meditation, a call to action, and a closing prayer.
Affability goes beyond simple kindness. It is the outward expression of charity through one’s demeanor, tone, and attentiveness—especially toward those who are often forgotten or misunderstood. In a world in need of connection, Living Affability invites Catholics to become true instruments of God’s mercy through warmth and openness.
Perfect for personal use, small groups, or seasonal study, this devotional is well-suited for the summer months or during liturgical seasons like Advent and Lent.
Pope Leo XIV wisely noted:
“Affability is the gentle echo of God’s mercy in our tone, our eyes, and our daily encounters.”
