Hey there,
We love a winner.
And when winners are all gathered together in one place … even better!
That’s why musicians produce a “Greatest Hits” album.
Long running television shows create a “Best of” show.
And after almost four years and close to 200 issues, I bring you the most popular Genuflect issues.
I collected the most popular issues over the past year and also the most popular over all time. I was a little surprised at the topics. But they represent a nice potpourri ranging from converting loved ones, praying novenas, and the virtue of diligence, to understanding a couple of Marian titles, finding your God-given talents, and recognizing signs from God.
Whether you call them greatest hits, best of, or most popular, I hope there’s something here that interests you again. And if there are any topics you’d like to see covered in Genuflect, please let me know.
Keep Believing-

Bringing Loved Ones Back to The Church
This issue from 2019 provides guidance on how to bring your loved ones back to the Church. We look at reasons to return, approaches you can take, types of “lapsed Catholics,” how you can help, some do’s and don’ts, and how to return to the Church.

All About Novenas
In August of 2020 we looked at novenas … and it’s one of the more popular topics.Here you’ll learn what novenas are, their origin and history, how to pray a novena, what to do if you skip a day or mess it up, how a novena can revive your prayer life, and the effect prolonged prayer has on our brains.

The Virtue of Diligence
We’ve covered a lot of the virtues at Genuflect but this one that delves into the Capital Virtue of Diligence and the vices that it helps us overcome, including Acedia, Sloth, Procrastination, Idleness, and Laziness is the most popular one. Here we look at the differences between each of these and how to overcome them.

Our Lady of Loreto
It may not be such a surprise that the issue about Our Lady of Loreto is one of the greatest hits. After all, it is a relatively new feast day. Here we look at the Pope’s decree, the Jubilee year we celebrated, the fascinating story of the house, the Litany of Loreto, and also, what Mary’s life would have been like back in her day and how she met Joseph.

Finding Your God-Given Talents
We all have gifts from God, but do we recognize them and/or use them for others? This popular issue helps you explore your God-given talents with ideas to inspire you to discover the talents you’ve been blessed with and to find ways to use them as they were intended … to help others.

Recognizing God’s Signs
In April of last year, we looked at signs from God, whether they still happen today, how to recognize them, if it’s okay to ask God for a sign, what to try other than ask for a sign, why you shouldn’t be discouraged if you don’t see a sign, and how to know if a loved one is in heaven.

Exalting The Holy Cross
In September we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and though it was two years ago that Genuflect covered it, it’s near the top of the best of list. Here we look at the history of crucifixion, St. Helena’s efforts to locate the True Cross, what you need to know about the Feast, how and why we exalt the Holy Cross, and finally, we look at the sign of the cross.

Our Lady of Sorrows
Mary has many, many titles. One of the more popular ones was covered in August of 2020 when Genuflect looked at how Mary got the title Our Lady of Sorrows, the history of the feast day, what her 7 sorrows are, why we focus on her sorrows, their healing powers, the devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows, the 11 promises for grace, ways to celebrate Our Lady of Sorrows in September, and an amazing apparition of Our Lady of Sorrows in Italy.
