What people are saying about Fiat 40 Journal.
-
"This devotional is something I plan to revisit again, as it’s relevant and spiritually nourishing during any liturgical season. I highly recommend Fiat 40 to any woman seeking to deepen her relationship with Christ and walk more closely with Our Blessed Mother. The weekly devotions, reflection questions, and suggested sacrifices were powerful tools that truly met me where I was in my faith journey. Participating in the small group gatherings added another layer of richness—I was so inspired by the wisdom and insights shared by other women walking this same path."

“This journal brought me so much inner peace, even in ways I didn’t know I needed. Doing the journal during Advent helped me to stay present. This time of the year is always super stressful for me and for the first time in years I wasn’t super stressed, I was actually joyful instead of a “grinch” lol! I cannot thank the wonderful ladies enough for writing this book! Thank all of you for your “Fiat”! I will definitely repeat this journal again many more times!”

"Fiat 40 was a beautiful and timely gift to me this Lenten Season. Each chapter invited me to experience and rediscover my faith in fresh, meaningful ways. I was especially drawn to the variety of perspectives shared by each of the authors. Their reflections on faith, hope, and other Marian virtues deeply resonated with me—and, at times, challenged me to grow even more."

"I’ve always had a great love for Mama Mary but, with the journal I felt closer to Mama Mary in a more personal way, like I was learning from her how to say ‘yes’ to God even when it’s uncomfortable. There was a deeper peace that came from choosing obedience and surrender each day. I really wanted to do it again because I saw real fruit in my heart, more clarity, more intentional prayer, and a stronger desire to live with purpose. I don’t want to lose that growth, instead I want to keep building on it and continue becoming the woman God is calling me to be and the Fiat 40 journal had played a huge role in helping me grow!"

“I felt like this journal was written specifically for me. I have no doubt that any woman who puts her time and heart into this book will feel the same. It is clear that the authors not only each have an immense love for Mary and Jesus, but they also have a desire for all women to know and love Mary and her Son. Their passion to this project is evident.”

“Perhaps what I benefitted from most was the challenge each week to dive deeper into prayer and make a specific, continuous sacrifice. This, coupled with a weekly dedicated prayer intention, somehow made me put more thought into the reflections each day. It touched my heart that the authors drew from their personal experiences to help ME (and other women) deepen their faith and trust in Jesus.”

"Doing Fiat 40 truly challenged me in ways I didn’t expect, but it also changed me in the best way. At first, the sacrifices felt hard and inconvenient and like a task that I felt obligated to complete, but over time I realized they were creating space in my heart for God. It helped me let go of distractions and comforts I didn’t even realize I depended on, and through the structure and discipline I grew in more self control, patience, and trust both spiritually and in my daily life.

"This book helped me create the habit of very specific uninterrupted prayer time. All in all, the personal accounts were very relatable, the literature was easy to read and understand, and the extra resources with examples provided were superb. I would highly recommend this study to anyone that wants to deepen their prayer life and strengthen their relationship with God."

“In my writing on the chapter on hope, I saw how my sorrows at different times of my life, imaged Mary’s 7 sorrows. I thought of the sorrow and joy during times I’ve been called to pray at the deathbeds of loved ones or people I didn’t even know … by phone or in person, standing with Mary at the foot of the cross or with the image of the pieta mother. And like the hound of heaven, the Lord pursued me through it all, until I ‘realized that what he takes from me is not for harm, but that I may seek it in his arms’ with the hope of the resurrection."
