A Word of Welcome

Dear Friend in Christ,

Please accept this free copy of The Word Among Us magazine with my compliments.

The Word Among Us probably isn't like many other magazines you've ever seen. No news stories . . . no movie-star gossip . . . no fashion photos, fitness tips or recipes. Just stories and meditations that help you grow in peace and deepen your love for God through daily prayer-stories and meditations written by Catholics for Catholics like yourself!

Take a few minutes right now to take a look at this special issue. You'll discover

* A practical approach to daily prayer that works for thousands of Catholics every day.

* Guidance in reading and understanding the Bible in your own life.

* A Lectionary-based approach that provides a powerful link to the daily Mass.

Start on page 20 with the Daily Meditations section. Readers who take just five or ten minutes to read the brief meditation for the day tell us it helps them discover God's grace working in their own lives-during times of adversity as well as times of peace. You'll also find inspiration in these other articles:

* On page 4, read how the Eucharist can transform our lives.

* Pope John Paul II shares his own personal reflections on the Eucharist, beginning on page 10.

* On page 51, the inspiring story of Padre Pio.

* And on page 58, read about the life of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, who had the courage to say "no" to an abortion-even though it cost her life.

I hope you'll accept our special offer and choose to join The Word Among Us family. If you do, I know you will discover new ways to grow in your daily prayer and Scripture reading.

Of course, I can't guarantee it will solve all your problems. But I can promise that the more we deepen in daily prayer, the more we will discover Jesus' guidance in living a more godly life. We hope that you will join 250,000 of your fellow Catholics who are growing in daily prayer every month with The Word Among Us.

So don't delay. Read the enclosed free issue now-and feel God's hand on your shoulder.

Sincerely in Christ,

Jeff Smith
