Father Lovasik

A few years ago, I discovered the writings of Father Lawrence G. Lovasik S.V.D. and realized that I had really known h im most of my life! He wrote many of the little Catholic children’s books that are so popular. I’ll bet if you look at the little books laying around your house for kids, a few of them were written by Father Lovasik.

I have developed a real devotion to the late Father’s writings, particularly his prayers, and I have decided to use my tag board below to post them from time to time.

Father Lovasik also wrote many adult books, one of my favorites being Praying the Gospels. That was actually a purchase I made on eBay and when it arrived I noted that Father Lovasik had actually signed it! I called my children around me and said, “Hey you guys, look! A saint has signed my book.”

Gabe, my 8-year-old came over to the book and touched the signature with his sweet little hand… and then smelled his fingers!!

: ) Never thought myself to check out what a saint might smell like… good thinking Gabe!
