Do you long for a more life-affirming, enriching faith life? Are you eager to encounter inspiring models of faith? If so, come! Walk the pages of this book through the seasons of the liturgical year. Come and meet Dorothy Day, perhaps in a new way. Come and be inspired by a seemingly ordinary tent-maker, a woman named Prisca, friend of Paul and leader of the early church. Be surprised by a contemporary woman with cerebral palsy, who breathes abundant life into the Good News of Easter... or an extraordinary founder of a local hospice movement. In this book, you will discover a deep probing of each season, lived in extraordinary ways by seemingly “ordinary” women. So come, be inspired. Be encouraged for your own life’s journey.

Praise for the Print Edition

A beautifully written, spiritually deep, and wonderfully practical way of entering more fully into the liturgical year. By turns poetic, inspiring, and challenging, Gloria Ulterino’s new book will help you fall in love with the church year, with prayer, and with God.

—James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray

Through stories of her own life and conversations with the Gospel writers and others, Gloria Ulterino’s What Time Is It? celebrates the gifts of the liturgical year with a lilting, feminine voice. She invites you to leave the ordinary passage of time and reimagine the sacred moments of the church year, guided by the firelight of your own most precious life.

—Donna Marie Todd, author of Navigating Loss: A Survival Guide for the Newly Widowed

Gloria’s book is a creative resource for anyone following the liturgical year. After careful exegesis, Gloria gives us a thought-provoking take on the Scriptures using poetry, storytelling, prayer, and illustrations of women. These stories are varied examples of real people from different times and places. Some of these women are well known, others are known only in the communities where they served. This newest book may inspire many in living the word.

—Irene Goodwin, retired Pastoral Administrator
