Yay you!!đÂ
Your guide is flying to your inbox.
While you're waiting...
I want to invite you to a book club where we'll unpack Fr. Jacques Philippe's Searching for and Maintaining Peace. 6 zoom gatherings. Result: more peace. đ
Tell me more about the Book Club!
Hi! Iâm Rose Folsom â Catholic convert, Lay Dominican, spiritual director, and your new companion in prayer-without-pressure.
And let me tell you⌠I cannot wait for you to discover the gems tucked inside this guide. These arenât tips pulled from thin air. Theyâre the hard-won lessons of the saints, woven together with my own decades of stumbling, surrendering, and finally learning how to pray in a way that feels like home.
Your guide is waiting in your inbox now (give it 2 minutes ⌠technology likes to feel important).
And while youâre waiting, see below for something that invites you even deeper.
Â
Picture This...
Everyone else is over there unable to decide what do for Lent.
Youâre over here quietly becoming unshakeable.
Youâre invited to my 6-week Zoom book club where we pray together, walk together, laugh together, and let Fr. Jacques Philippe show us how to stop spiritually hydroplaning and start living steady, holy, rested lives again â as we absorb the wisdom in his modern classic, Searching for and Maintaining Peace.
If you crave a calmer, more grounded, more âI can actually feel God againâ Lent this year⌠this is it.
 Why this book matters
Â
Fr. Jacques Philippe is one of the most beloved spiritual writers of our time â
not because he overwhelms you with theology, but because he gives you tools that actually change your day-to-day walk with God.
Â
Youâll discover:
- How to protect your peace
- How to pray without striving
- How to stop beating yourself up
- How to trust God with a rested heartÂ
The result?
A spiritual life that feels like belonging, not pressure.
Â
Imagine a Lenten practice that leaves you with:
A calmer heart
A more patient spirit
A spiritual confidence you can feel
And the ability to breathe again when you pray

Â
What your 6 weeks with me look like
Each week, we gather on Zoom for:
đ Prayer that settles your spirit
đ Gentle discussion that makes you feel seen
đ Clear unpacking of Fr. Philippeâs wisdom so it becomes usable, not just beautiful
đŹ Space to reflect, laugh, and be human (saints were human too, you know)
đ Celebrate every win (yes, even âI didnât snap at my husband todayâ)
This is not a lecture series.
Â
This is a spiritual circle, where peace becomes a lived experience.
This isnât Catholic homework.
Itâs Catholic exhale.
By Week 6, youâll notice:
- More patience with yourself and others
- Less guilt, less striving, less âI should be better at thisâ
- How your faults can actually bring you closer to God
- A felt sense of belonging in prayer rather than performance
- A steady, quiet peace that stays with you in the kitchen, in traffic, and yes⌠even at Costco.
Thatâs less than the price of a frantic Amazon stress-purchase youâll regret later.
Our first gathering: Friday, February 20
at 6:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm PTÂ
