Jesus in My Pocket

For more than ten years, mindset coach and speaker Marie F. Smith entered a world many actively avoid, the hallways of a local nursing home. Carrying Holy Communion in a small pocket container called a pyx, she set out to offer spiritual comfort to elderly residents cut off from their parish community. What she discovered inside those rooms, however, were lifelong lessons in what it means to live with purpose, dignity, and grace. In Jesus In My Pocket, Smith shares the moving, humorous, and sacred stories of the beautiful souls who captured her heart. Weaving personal memoir-including the grief of losing her own mother at age twenty-one-with Catholic teachings on human dignity and the Works of Mercy, Smith transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary spiritual insights.
