NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! I’m so happy to share with you a work of prayer that I co-authored with friends, Claire Couche and Elizabeth Marcolini: Pocket Guide to the Works of Mercy!
Mercy is a language of love.
We are all called to live like Christ in the world. As followers of Jesus, we are called to embrace those around us and serve them with God’s healing love.
In Pocket Guide to the Works of Mercy, authors Claire Couche, Neena Gaynor, and Elizabeth Marcolini offer a clear, practical, and prayerful path to living out the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
In this compact work, we offer clear, practical, and prayer ways to live mercy. Readers will discover how to live the works of mercy in a way that emphasizes each person’s dignity and leads them closer to Christ.
Through practical examples and examination questions, Pocket Guide to the Works of Mercy is perfect for anyone who wants to serve those around them. Whether you are single, consecrated, or have a family, this guide will show you how you can live out the Works of Mercy in your state of life.
Each chapter includes practical and applicable wisdom on each Work of Mercy, including:
- Biblical examples from both the Old and New Testaments
- An explanation of the meaning for the works of mercy for Catholics today
- A dedicated prayer to offer your works as prayers to God
- Real-life applications for every season of life
- And more!
Pocket Guide to the Works of Mercy takes a difficult and abstract set of actions and makes them not only tangible, but possible no matter your season of life. With the help of this book, readers will truly see the other as a beloved child of God, and care for them in the way the Church asks.
Learn how to live out the radical call to mercy alongside this small but powerful book.

THE BIRD AND THE BEES is a Christian romantic suspense novel set in the foothills of Appalachia.
When Larkin Maybie buries her mother in the foothills of Appalachia, she is left all alone. Her only inheritance? A crazy aunt, a mountain of debt, and a run-down, secluded cabin left by a mysterious benefactor. While Larkin thinks an escape to a cabin miles from anything familiar might be exactly what she needs, the quick answer to her problems only leaves her with more questions… Questions concerning her true identity.
As Larkin searches for her link to the Lewandowski Estate, she begins to accept the kindness of strangers on Presque Isle and the affection of professional baseball player, Ketch Devine. Charged with caring for the cabin’s honey bees and haunted by past choices, Larkin struggles to move forward in a new direction and is running out of time. With summer and baseball season coming to an end, she must decide: what is the value of true love?
And… “Let the rivers clap their hands, the mountains shout with them for joy,” and praise His holy name. Amen!
