Therese of Lisieux: A Vocation of Love

Therese of Lisieux: A Vocation of Love by Marie-Pascale Ducrocq .
The great laws of science do not exist because one day a scholar discovers and formulates their reality. They were there immutable after the creation of the world. The same is so in the spiritual world. Therese Martin invented nothing. She simply relied on the Gospel and brought to light a principle of an ever present force and she did so with utter simplicity. Young people of every age will acknowledge within themselves their most basic and generous aspirations.. Those who have some experience of God's ways well know that beyond research, human judgments, failings and beyond the finest accomplishments, it is the function of the unique Love lived by all the saints that makes a person to take up a veritable burden and bear even what seems most burdensome. Therese is a lesson to all of spiritual greatness to be achieved by perfect love of God and total consecration of all our actions, even the smallest to His greater honor and glory.

Saint Therese of Lisieux...With Confidence and Love

Saint Therese of Lisieux: With Confidence and Love by Susan Helen Wallace, FSP.
The last words Therese penciled in her autobiography - "with confidence and love" - form the subtitle of this book about Therese. This brief but powerful phrase points out a path of hope for our world. St. Therese's witness of confidence and love is a gift to our "today". We all have to go to God accepting our faults and good qualities, our weaknesses and our strengths. The way of St. Therese doesn't require great or unusual achievements, but a simple disposition of the heart, ready to find God in every passing moment, and surrendering to Him with trust in both light and shadow, joy and sorrow.... This biography can and should be a source of encouragement to all who continue their search for the ultimate meaning of life and love.

The Eucharist:, At the Center of Pope John Paul II's Pastoral Plan for the New Millennium by Fr. Bill McCarthy.
"The Holy Eucharist contains the Church's entire spiritual wealth. It is the summit of Catholic devotion." ---Pope John Paul II Something extraordinary happened on January 16, 2001.

To live by grace and listen to the inspirations of the Spirit 6. Meditating on the Scriptures and the new Catechism 7. To bring the Gospel of truth and life to a dark and broken world 8. Frequent recitation of the Holy Rosary Fr. Bill McCarthy explores each of the cardinal principles through the Holy Father's encyclicals, apostolic letters, and his other writings on the Eucharist.

Passion for Truth: The Life of John Henry Newman

Passion for Truth The Life of John Henry Newman by Fr. Juan R. Velez.
John Henry Newman was a talented Anglican clergyman and teacher at Oxford University. After founding the Oxford Movement he embarked on a passionate search for religious truth which eventually led him to full communion with the Catholic Church in 1845. He became on eof the most influential English writers and theologians of the 19th century. In Passion for Truth, author and scholar Fr. Juan R. Vélez painstakingly uncovers the life and work of Blessed John Henry Newman. In the story of his early years, his family upbringing and university education, and through his vast correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues, Vélez acquaints us with Newman, the loyal friend, profound thinker, prolific writer, and holy priest. A true Catholic gentleman, who can be admired and loved by all who love the Truth. Newman was a talented but timid young man, who often doubted his own competence, but was to become one of the most influential teachers and writers of the 19th Century. Starting life as a devout and promising Anglican scholar, he finished the race a faithful and unwavering Catholic priest and Cardinal, to the disappointment of some of his closest friends and the great joy of many others. His prominent position as an Anglican clergyman and Oxford don made his long anticipated conversion the subject of great interest to many of his contemporaries and once he crossed over to Rome, many Anglicans followed his lead. His clarity of thought as a scholar was such as is hardly seen in contemporary society and was even growing rare in his own day. A relentless pursuit of wisdom did not allow him to simply store away his knowledge but urged him to conform his life to what was true wherever and whenever he discovered it. This passion for Truth did not always gain him friends, but it ultimately gained him what he valued above all else: a home in the True Church of Christ.

Queen of Heaven: Our Lady of Good Help

Queen of Heaven: Our Lady of Good Help by Judith Albright.
A Blind child regained his sight, a young cripple boy left his crutches behind at the chapel, the sick were cured and faith was strengthened. These miraculous healings bring to mind images of the gospel, or Lourdes, France yet these were all attributed to The Queen of Heaven, Our Lady of Good Help, in Champion, Wisconsin-the first and only approved Marian apparition in the Untied States of America. In 1859, Adele Brice saw a woman all in white standing on a small cloud, a yellow sash at her waist and around her head a crown of twelve stars. Adele's life would change forever. Later, she spoke: "I am the Queen of Heaven, who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same." She entrusted to Adele a mission, "Teach the childrenTeach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the cross, how to approach the Sacraments, that they may know and love my Son; otherwise the people here will lose their faith." Adele did as instructed and soon a chapel was built. Twelve years later, during the great fire of 1871, few were spared but those who sought refuge within the chapel grounds were miraculously protected. Cures and miracles continue to this day.

The Prophet of Carmel

The Life and Mission of Elias the Prophet Rev. Charles B. Garside, M.A. Mount Carmel is within view of the town of Nazareth in Galilee, where, in the holy house of Mary, the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us. Somewhere along its rugged peak, six hundred years before the birth of Christ, lived the great prophet Elias the Thesbite and his celebate school of disciples. He enters the pages of sacred hsitory at the start of the 17th chapter of the third Book of Kings without introduction, abruptly, like a bolt of lightning, standing before Achab, the impious king of Israel, "like a fire," to which he is so aptly compared in chapter 48 of Eccleasticus. Even the legend of his birth, recounted by Saint Epiphanius in his Lives of the Prophets, has the father of the man of God, in a vision, beholding his son being fed not by his mother's milk but by fire. He appears before the apostate king of the 10 tribes to accuse him of rebellion against his Creator through his sins of impiety, idolatry, and lust, while threatening the ruler and his kingdom with the Divine Vengeance that was to come by means of a three year drought. One cannot help but notice the similarity of Elias (whose name means "strong God") with John the Baptist, the greatest of all the prophets. John, too, rebuked a king who had transgressed the moral law by his incestuous adultery. The Baptist was martyred, Elias sorely persecuted. The Savior Himself refers to his precurser as another Elias. This is the story of the man whose name is practically synonymous with the word prophet. This is the portrait of a thundering visionary who lights up the Old Testament. A man of prayer and solitude, celebate and chaste, he moved courageously with every heavenly summons, never failing, never daunted. Loreto Publications, 1924, Soft cover, 218 pgs

St. Teresa of Avila; The Interior Castle: Study Edition

St. Teresa of Avila: The Interior Castle, Study Edition .Translation by Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD
The Interior Castle is a powerful image of the mystery of the human person. It is the soul of St. Teresa of Avila, who journeys through the castle from one dwelling place to another mapping out a feminine, yet warlike, program for the Christian spiritual life. It is also the last book Teresa wrote in 1577. Five years before she died she recorded, to the best of her knowledge, the experiences for which she praised God. The authors of this study edition designed it as a springboard to reading and understanding Teresa's text. They present a chapter of Teresa's book, followed by a review of the progress of her thought and the principal ideas in each chapter. Next they give interpretive notes: doctrinal, historical, and sociological. Then because Teresa wanted her writings to be in harmony with sacred Scripture, they point out scripture, they point out scriptural texts that support her ideas. Finally, the authors show how teachings of the present day Church demonstrates both how Teresa's basic notions were correct and how we can apply her principles to our times.

Frehe, O.P., was present for this first of fifty-six apparitions. The "Eucharistic Experiences" presents a clear picture of the Church and the world today. The Lady of All Nations gives instruction and advice that all should take seriously in order to save the world from the power of evil. On May 31, 1996, His Excellency Hendrick Bomers, Bishop of Haarlem, gave the "Nihil Obstat" approving devotion to the Lady of All Nations. The Blessed Mother had promised Peerdeman that she would live to see this approval. The approval now a reality Peerdeman went home to the Lord on June 17, 1996.

There's Power in Your Tongue

There's Power in Your Tongue by Maria Vadia.
Scriptural based book, the power of your tongue can bless or curse, encourage or discourage, edify or tear down, bring healing or destruction. With our tongues we grumble, complain, criticize, gossip, slander, and pass judgment on others. Our words are packed with power for good or evil, and basically what we say is what we get; we "eat its fruits." As Christians, we walk by faith and not by sight; faith in God's word, in His promises. Therefore, we must align our words with what God says in the Bible. There is so little written about guarding our speech, and yet our Lord warns us that every unguarded word would be judged. There's Power In Your Tongue offers many practical concrete ways to grow in virtue with a convicting presentation of biblical truths and direction. Our tongue is like a thermometer; our words reveal the state of our hearts.

Captive Flames:A Biblical Reading of the Carmelite Saints

Captive Flames:, A Biblical Reading of the Carmelite Saints by James McCaffrey OCD.
In Captive Flames James McCaffrey presents a compelling argument for the relevance of Carmelite spirituality and its scriptural basis. Focusing on 5 key figures he shows us how Carmelite spirituality, based on experience not theory, can lead to a fuller understanding of God's love for all. In the works of St. Teresa of Avila, we are shown the importance of prayer as friendship; in John of the Cross how we are led as God's people from selfishness to joy; in Elizabeth of the Trinity, the significance of a triune God as shown in St. John's Gospel; in Edith Stein, the importance of the Old Testament for an understanding of the New; finally through the person of St. Therese of Lisieux we are encouraged to come to God 'with Confidence and Love'.

A Pattern for Life: The Rule of Saint Albert and the Carmelite Laity

A Pattern for Life:, The Rule of Saint Albert and the Carmelite Laity by Patrick Thomas McMahon.

Sunday and Feastday Sermons, Cycles A,B & C

Sunday and Feastday Sermons Cycles A, B and C by Rev. Fr. Robert Ignatius Letellier, STD.
"Your word is a lamp for my steps and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105). The living word of God is at the heart of our life of faith today, just as it has been thoughout salvation history. If we let it, it will illumine our lives, accompanying and guiding us in our joys, sorrows and perplexities. There is always something to be found in the word of God to teach and encourage us, to help us in following the path of faith. This collections of homilies provides a concise commentary on the Liturgy of the Word according to the three year cycle (ABC) of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. The aim is to open up the heart of the Scriptural teaching in the context of reflection or worship, to draw out the ideas implicit in the readings chosen for the Missal -- a breaking open and sharing of the Word of God. The format follows each liturgical year according to the Sundays of its seasons (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Ordinary Time), with the special solemnities and unchanging major feast of the year added to the first (A) section. These homilies seek to address many needs, always trying to convey the hope of salvation in Jesus Christ -- the Way he provides, the Path he illumines, and the life-affirming liberty and truth he brings to all men and women.

This is Posselts tribute to Saint Edith Stein, a wreath of recollections, lovingly woven together. It is also the first-ever biography published about that Great Woman of the Twentieth Century. Having been out of print for half a century, the original text is here re-edited and enhanced by scholarly perspectives and updated and corrected in the light of knowledge which was not available to the author at the time. Enriched by a broader range of contemporary literature about the philosopher, educator, spiritual writer, and victim of the catastrophe that engulfed her as part of her Jewish people, this new presentation of the biography everyone cites so frequently brings the reader closer to the real Edith Stein. The editors have avoided weighing down this engaging life story with intrusive scholarly notes and commentaries. Instead they have relegated such material to a separate section of Gleanings. This gives the reader the option of enjoying the biography unencumbered by supplementary matter or delving into the Gleanings when desired. The three editors/translators are close to the Stein family as well as to her Carmelite family which she entered in 1933. Susanne Batzdorff is Edith Steins niece, who has known her in person. Josephine Koeppel and John Sullivan are both Carmelites who have occupied themselves with the life and work of the saint and have talked with several Carmelite religious who lived with Edith Stein. Complementing their notes and comments that deepen the knowledge of the famous phenomenologist and Carmelite is an insightful Foreword contributed by Sr. Amata Neyer, O.C.D., who knew Posselt personally. She has served as prioress of the Cologne Carmel and as archivist for its Edith Stein Archive.

To Quell the Terror: The True Story of the Carmelite Martyrs of Compegne

To Quell the Terror:, The Mystery of the Vocation of the Sixteen Carmelites of Compiègne, Guillotined July 17, 1794 by William Bush (Professor Emeritus of French Literature at the University of Western Ontario)..
At the height of the French Revolution's "Great Terror," a community of sixteen Carmelite nuns from Compiègne offered their lives to restore peace to the church and to France. Ten days after their deaths by the guillotine, Robespierre fell, and with his exectuion on the same scaffold the Reign of Terror effectively ended. Had God thus accepted and used the Carmelites' generous self-gift? Through Gertrud von Le Fort's modern novella, Song at the Scaffold, and Francis Poulenc's famed opera, Dialogues of the Carmelites, (with its libretto by Georges Bernanos), modern audiences around the world have become captivated by the mysterious destiny of these Compiègne martyrs, Blessed Teresa of St. Augustine and her companions. Now, for the first time in English, William Bush explores at length the facts behind the fictional representations, and reflects on their spiritual significance. Based on years of research, this book recounts in lively detail virtually all that is known of the life and background of each of the martyrs, as well as the troubled times in which they lived. The Compiègne Carmelites, sustained by their remarkable prioress, emerge as distinct individuals, struggling as Christians to understand and respond to an awesome calling, relying not on their own strength but on the mercy of God and the guiding hand of Providence. The book includes an index and 15 photos.

Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition

Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition, STORIES OF FAITH AND INSPIRATION by Paul-Marie of the Cross, OCD
Carmel is known above all for her priceless heritage of spirituality. For centuries, in the spirit of Elijah and the ancient prophets, Carmelites have sought to encounter the living God and to teach others the ways of prayer. In sixteenth-century Spain, Saint Teresa of Avila brought renewed vitality to this religious family by inaugurating a reform movement that became known as the Discalced Carmelites, a new and fruitful branch on an ancient vine. Carmelite Spirituality in the Teresian Tradition, first published in English in 1959, provides a concise and inspiring overview of Carmel's spiritual heritage from a Teresian perspective. Renowned Discalced Carmelite author Paul-Marie of the Cross identifies the principal texts, themes, figures, and teachings of Carmel: Elijah and Mary, the Rule of St. Albert and the Book of the Institution of the First Monks, the Carmelite understanding of contemplation and the degrees of prayer, the message of Saints Teresa, John of the Cross, and Thérèse of Lisieux. This classic essay, long out of print, is here updated and reprinted for a new generation of seekers longing to slake their spiritual thirst at the fount of Carmel.

St. Therese of Lisieux, Spouse and Victim
St. Therese of Lisieux:, Spouse and Victim by Cliff Ermatinger.
On Christmas Eve, 1886, a young girl, Therese Martin, received special grace. Although it was the littleness of the Christ Child that reached out to this girl and taught her to give up the defects of childhood, the grace was by no means small. Her long bout with scruples and empty fears was not completely over, yet in her own words, since that night I have never been defeated in any combat, but rather walked from victory to victory. Such was her experience of God's mercy that she decided then and there to give her life to the mission of converting sinners. This book by Cliff Ermatinger presents us with deep theological insights into the meaning of the seemingly simple life and journey of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

The Dogma of Hell
The Dogma of Hell Illustrated by Facts Taken From Profane and Sacred History By: Rev. Fr. F. X. Schouppe, S.J. The Dogma of Hell. The Dogma of Hell explores the basic Catholic doctrine on Hell, purposefully awakening in the reader a profound realization of its reality and eternity of horrors. Eminent French theologian Fr F X Schouppe, SJ, author of Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints, has written here a similar but much smaller book. Although the subject matter is frightening, the ultimate purpose of this book is not to frighten souls, but to help them avoid damnation by reminding them of the pain and suffering in an eternity spent in the absence of God. PB, 112 pg

Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saint
Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints by Fr. F.X. Schouppe, S.J. On many occasions God has allowed souls in Purgatory to appear on earth to plead for prayers, sacrifices, and Masses for their relief. Herein the reader will find scores of true stories of apparitions and revelations on Purgatory from the lives of St. Margaret Mary, St. Teresa of Avila, and many more familiar names. In my opinion, this is still one of the best books out there on the subject. Definitely not for the faint of heart. TAN Publishing, 427 pp

Two decades later, Father Jacob is installed as a priest in the very church where he saw the Big Man. The year 2010: A Man of Science claims that, by mixing four chemicals together, he can recreate the origins of human life. I have taken the mystery out of life, he boasts. One night his study is interrupted by a mysterious stranger who asks a question about the universe that science cannot answer, before he disappears into the darkness leaving the Man of Science speechless. Steeped in self-doubt and questioning whether he has accomplished all that God intended for him, a man is visited by a Bachmans Sparrow, singing from the lowest branch of the tiniest tree, and learns that contentment lies in singing your song from whatever branch God gave you. Second in a series by Catholic author William Kevin Stoos, The Wind and the Spirit: Stories of Faith and Inspiration is an inspiring collection of these and other short stories, illustrating how the Holy Spirit speaks through people, circumstances, and serendipitous events, proving once again that Coincidence is the name God uses when He wants to remain anonymous.

One of Fr. Faber's greatest books; and definitely his most encouraging; for it was written precisely to help us save our souls by "serving Jesus out of love;" for "everything comes easy to love."

The Interior Castle or The Mansions
The Interior Castle or The Mansions by St. Teresa of Avila .
The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila presents a remarkable description of the entire spiritual life from the first release from mortal sin into Sanctifying Grace through the Mystical Marriage of the soul with Christ as a journey through what she called The Interior Castle. She sees the soul as a magnificent castle full of spacious and well-lit rooms or mansions each of which leads deeper into the heart of the castle to the seat of the King. However, St. Teresa laments that most people give all their attention to the outer wall of the castle the body ignoring the beauty of the soul within. St. Teresa gives practical advice regarding the early struggles and the temptations to turn back which beset the beginner. She describes each of the seven mansions and urges us forward to love and serve the Divine Majesty, imparting her absolute conviction that progress toward God through prayer is worth vastly more than all the treasures of this earth.

Predestination, The meaning of Predestination in Scripture and the Church
Predestination, The meaning of Predestination in Scripture and the Church by Rev. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. .
In Predestination, the great Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange gives a masterful theological exposition of the classic Thomistic teaching on this, the most difficult of all theological tracts, showing the reconciliation - as far as it can be understood this side of the Beatific Vision - of the various elements of the Church's teaching on Predestination. Based on Scripture and Tradition, this book gives the history of Catholic thought on this topic, showing how centuries of Catholic theologians have wrestled to reconcile the two truths of Divine Predilection and the damnation of souls.

Providence, God's Loving Care for Man and the Need for Confidence in Almighty God
Providence, God's loving care for men and the need for confidence in Almighty God by Rev. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. .
Rev. Garrigou-Lagrange; O.P. explains Divine Providence in both doctrine and in our daily lives. He holds that the salvation of souls is more important than anything else on this earth; this great truth enlightens his entire work. He shows how God's Providence works in the Gospel and he explains how Providence relates to prayer, to the duty of the present moment, to faithfulness in little things, to charity toward our neighbor, to the grace of a happy death, etc. Our salvation is more secure in God's Hands than in our own, if we would only entrust it to Him. Trials of the just actually serve a higher purpose. He explains how a person can have spiritual light and understanding even in this earthly darkness. This book shows that even in the midst of earth trials, we can have the joy of the Saints which is one of the great paradoxes of the Catholic way of life.

Life Everlasting A Theological Treatise on the Four Last Things
Life Everlasting, A Theological Treatise on the Four Last Things by Rev. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P..
A serious, theological treatise on the Four Last Things - Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell - but purposely written for the average reader. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange shows the exalted "immensity" of the human soul and that only possession of God in the Beatific Vision can completely satisfy man's desires. He touches on many theological aspects that bear fruit on our final end: the roots of vice and virtue, the grace of a happy death, the pain of loss, the nature of eternal beatitude, and many more. An enlightening study of man's final destiny.

Modesty in Dress: A Return to Decency
By Father Charles M. Mangan The kinds of dress for both men and women have changed dramatically, especially in the past 5 decades. Much of today's prevailing "high fashion" is meant to accentuate or expose certain body parts rather than to conceal them - the latter being the traditional reason for clothing. Acknowledging that some of these styles in contemporary fashion would have been deemed "immodest" or outright "obscene" even a few years ago, one asks: are these ways of dressing still immodest at the beginning of the Third Christian Millennium? Or do changing values now allow for these various types of clothing? Let this tiny pamphlet challenge your sense of dignity.

The Passion of Jesus and Its Hidden Meaning
A Scriptural Commentary on the Passion By: Rev. Fr. James Groenings Every person in the world, whether he realizes it or not, is personally involved in the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ. It was because of our sins, and the seriousness of these sins, that Our Lord underwent so cruel a torture. Using only classic Catholic Commentaries on the Scriptures, Fr Groenings demonstrates the historical context and spiritual significance of each episode of the Passion of Jesus. From the Agony in the Garden through Our Lord's death and burial, every page of this book is replete with vaulable lessons and superabundance of material for meditation and reflection. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Fr Groenings is able to illustrate the meaning of every event and episode, showing how to apply these lessons to our lives today. Far from being merely an act of unspeakable brutality, the Passion and death of Jesus Christ are shown to be the greatest proof of God's love and mercy to each of us. PB, 461 pg

Defiance! The Antichrists of History: and their Doomed War Against the Church - Esper
Defiance!: The Antichrists of History and their Doomed War Against the Church byFather Joseph Esper.
In her 2,000-year history, numerous enemies of the Church have attempted to destroy her-and every one of them has failed, usually at great personal cost. From the perspective of Heaven, the Church is often threatened, but never conquered-and in troubled times, it's more important than ever for Catholics to hold this truth and find reassurance in it. Defiance! The Antichrist of History and Their Doomed War Against the Church by Fr. Joseph Esper reminds us of the Church's many victories over her assailants, and demonstrates that-through the power of God-she will continue to triumph over every assault of her foes, including her ultimate enemy, The Antichrist himself. Defiance! is a historical work which takes you back through history beginning in the time of the Egyptians, through the Roman Empire, covering the enemies within and without the Church up through the 20th Century to present time. Fr. Esper identifies the more prominent historical precursors of the Antichrist many of whom were important in a military or political sense, but others who have also had great influences in the fields of philosophy, psychology, science, economics, entertainment, the occult and even religion. In their rise to power and then their eminent fall we are reminded that God and only God is in control. The "signs of the times" are all around us-and that makes Fr. Esper's book a very timely and hope-filled, resource. "We know all things work for good for those who love God" (Rom 8:28)

With Mary to Jesus by Reverend Joseph M Esper - Paperback
With Mary to Jesus: Our Surest Path to Heaven by Reverend Joseph M Esper beautifully illustrates that Mary is our powerful helper and example in our efforts to remain faithful followers of Jesus, Who is the only source of our Salvation. Blessed Mother Mary as her Son's most perfect and devoted disciple, has a deep and personal concern for the well-being and eternal salvation of each of her children, and nothing, especially not the powers of hell, can prevent her from protecting and assisting those who seek and accept her intercession. The Virgin Mary was truly heroic in her generous love, her humble obedience, and her spirit of complete self-sacrifice. Rather than being a "Plastic Saint" she was, and is a living person, one who loves us more than we can imagine and one who in turn deserves our highest possible love and respect. Coming to know Mary in a profound personal way, and coming to love her as our Mother, is indeed a simple and reliable way of learning to know and love Jesus, and thus a certain path leading to eternal life. Father Joseph Esper provides a wealth of information such as what the Church teaches about Mary, the Marian Dogmas, Marian Apparitions, stories of Mary's powerful intercession, Marian Apologetics and Marian devotions. Much will be learned from the reading of With Mary to Jesus, Our Surest Path to Heaven, particularly, that we have a Mother who loves and cares for each of her children, such is the will of God the Father.

Abandonment to Divine Providence - Jean Pierre de Caussade - Paperback
Abandonment to Divine Providence, How to fulfill your daily duties with God given purpose by Father Jean Pierre de Caussade. "Let go and let God." This popular phrase captures the essence of Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade's 18th century treatise on trust. Do you doubt? Do you suffer? Are you anxious about the trials of life? Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace. We do not have to understand what is happening - we simply have to believe that God is in control and orders all things to our good. What comes of this complete dependence on God's provision? Only perfect peace, perfect freedom, and perfect love.

The Woodcarver
The Woodcarver is a collection of feature and cover articles written for national and international publications over the past two decades on matters of faith. These true stories illustrate how the Holy Spirit, acting through people and serendipitous events, changes lives in a powerful way. The collection takes its title from The Woodcarver-a true story of a chance encounter with a German woodcarver-an ex-Nazi who had been a prisoner of war in the American South. During his captivity, the whites treated him badly, but the blacks were kind to him. He developed a love for black people that contradicted the stereotypical attitude of the Nazis. The Woodcarver taught the author a valuable lesson about stereotypes and how the Woodcarvers love of the faith found expression in a piece of oak. The Woodcarver gives voice to our common experiences and sincerest hopes, and reveals the existence of God and His workings in our lives. William Kevin Stoos has masterfully captured our deepest longing for goodness, brotherhood, and truth. Father Brad Pelzel, Director of Religious Vocations, Diocese of Sioux City. Through the ages, many have searched for inspiration to give meaning to their lives. William Kevin Stoos provides that inspiration in a treasure of a book with stories of faith for thirsting souls. The Woodcarver will be carried in your heart long after the stories have been read. Judi McLeod, Award-winning journalist and founder of Canada Free Press.

The Seven Deadly Sins have been alive and well throughout most of human history- but in the Western world, they're now tolerated and even celebrated, more than ever before.

This is a Catholic Christian book telling about dangers in a new world of new technology and how to deal as a Christian.

Trial of Faith of St. Therese of Lisieux, The
Author: Frederick L. Miller, STD Copyright: 1997 First Printed: 02-18-1998 Reprint: 2001 218 pages For the final eighteen months of her life, as she was literally being suffocated to death by pulmonary tuberculosis, Thérèse of Lisieux experienced a harrowing trial of faith. Although never faltering in her profession of faith, she had to struggle to believe in the existence of life beyond the grave. Her struggle to assent to the existence of heaven caused her more agony, she said, than her physical disease. By her own admission, her trial was a veritable martyrdom. Her trial of faith was an intense manifestation of her profound union with Christ in his redemptive suffering for the salvation of the world and reveals a hitherto largely unappreciated facet of her very special mission here on earth, namely, to expiate sins against the faith and to impart and strengthen the gift of faith in members of the Church who find themselves subjected to similar doubts and difficulties by a world that no longer knows what it believes about life after death. This work highlights in particular the co-redemptive role all Christians are called upon to play by virtue of their baptism. In this context, Thérèse, the saint of the little, and might we not also add, universal way, illustrated by her life and teaching the centerpiece of the Second Vatican Councils universal call to holiness of all the faithful. This book shows us how. About the Author: For six years the Executive Director of the World Apostolate of Fatima, the Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the editor of Soul Magazine, Father Frederick L. Miller, S.T.D., a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, is presently an Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Overbrook, Wynnewood, Pennsylvania and Academic Dean of the Seminarys Religious Studies Division.

The 13th Day
In a world torn apart by persecution, war, and oppression, 3 children were chosen to offer a message of hope. Based on the memoirs of Sister Lucia Santos and independent eye-witness accounts. The 13th Day dramatizes the incredible true story of these shepherd children from the village of Fatima in Portugal who experienced 6 apparitions with a "Lady from Heaven" between May and October 1917, which culminated in the final prophesied miracle. The Lady, who later revealed herself to be the Blessed Virgin Mary, gave a secret to the children told in 3 parts, from a harrowing vision of hell to prophetic warnings of future events including the advent and timing of WWII, the spread of communism, and the attempted assassination of the pope. Stylistically beautiful and technically innovative, writer-directors Ian and Dominic Higgins use state-of-the-art digital effects to create stunning images of the visions and the final miracle that have never before been fully realized on screen. This film was shot on location in Portugal and in England. Includes 24 page Collector's Booklet by Tim Drake and Film with Fr. Andrew Apostoli, "Fatima: Message of Hope for Today."

SAINT FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM, St. Therese of Lisieux
Author: Rev. Charles P. Connor Copyright: 2007 First Printed: 03-05-2007 190 pages Through spiritual childhood one experiences that everything comes from God, returns to Him, and abides in Him, for the salvation of all, in a mystery of merciful love. Such is the doctrinal message taught and lived by Saint Thérèse of Lisieus. After having thus turned the spotlight on the spiritual message of the Little Flower, Pope John Paul II solemnly declared her a Doctor of the Church at a Youth Day Rally in Paris, France, on Mission Sunday, October 19, 1997. Probably one of the best known and certainly one of the best loved of all the Saints in the Roman Calendar, questions still remain regarding the mystery of her impact on the modern world. Who was she? What exactly was her message? How did she embody the doctrine that she taught? What does she have to say to us that would make us call her: The Saint for the Third Millennium? In his well-researched, inimitable and highly readable style, Father Connor sheds new insights into the life and message of this great saint who has much to say to us today. About the Author: Widely know for his popular lecture series on EWTN, the Eternal Word Television Network, from which this present work has been drawn, Father Charles P. Connor is the Rector of St. Peters Cathedral in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Noted theologian, Church historian, and author of such works as Classic Catholic Converts and Defenders of the Faith (both by Ignatius Press), his book, Meditation on the Catholic Priesthood (ST PAULS / Alba House, 2005) went through two printings the year it came out.

I Thirst
I THIRST Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and Mother Teresa of Calcutta Author: Jacques Gauthier Translator: Alexandra Plettenberg-Serban Copyright: 2005 First Printed: 02-18-2005 Reprint: 2007 101 pages The heartfelt bond between Saint Therese and Mother Teresa of Calcutta can be traced to their common interest in assuaging the thrist of Christ on the Cross. Not only their thirst for Jesus, but Jesus' thirst for them, for us. Their profound resemblance to one another is to be found in their unalterable desire to shake the thirst of Christ, to console Him in the face of the indifference of so many people, to quench his thirst for love, to love Him in others and letting them be loved by Him. These two witnesses, making use of the "little way" of confidence and surrender, accessible to all, were chosen by God to reveal to us His thirst for love.

Our Lady of Knock Story Coloring Book
Mary Fabyan Windeatt with Gedge Harmon As Mrs. McLaughlin and 26 year old Mary Beirne hurried along in the rain on the night of August 21, 1879 in the village of Knock, Ireland, they were astonished to see a silvery light and three beautiful figures outside the south gable of the parish church; next to the figures was an altar with a lamb on it. Mary Beirne recognized the three as St. Joseph, Our Lady and St. John the Evangelist; she ran home to tell her mother and family. With several people gathered, some were puzzled that that Our Lady had not requested prayer and penance at Knock. But the parish priest suggested that perhaps it was because the Irish had never lost the spirit of prayer and penance, having suffered so much from poverty, famine and terrible persecution for their faith - often because they would not deny the Mass, the Sacraments, Our Lady and the Saints. Learn about this miraculous apparition and color while you learn. Beautifully illustrated pictures. TAN Publishers, 33 pages

Through the Shadowlands
C.S. Lewis He cried out, "Where's God when I really need Him?" This film is about the agonizing spiritual crisis of C.S. Lewis when his wife died from cancer.

But he picked up the pieces and moved out of the depressing "shadowlands," realizing that "real life has not even begun yet." It explores the deepest spiritual values. It is about love and death in a very real way...I found it completely compelling...so different, about the kind of things television drama doesn't usually tackle. It is, we should perhaps warn viewers, immensely harrowing at some stages. But it is in the end immensely uplifting. -Kaleidoscope DVD, color, 90 min & 73 min abridged version

His "Confessions" is one of the ten greatest classics of Christian literature. He has profoundly effected the direction of theology in the Church and his name and teachings run through the pages of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. St. Thomas Aquinas quotes him on almost every page. Many of the severe critics of traditional Catholic teaching single Augustine out for their most acrid criticism, often without ever reading what he actually said. To explore the work of St. Augustine, especially as a spiritual writer, an informed guide is necessary. Father Benedict enthusiastically invites you in this tape to climb the heights of the Augustinian Alps. DVD, 90 minutes

A Hand of Peace: Pope Pius XII and The Holocaust
Pope Pius XII guided the Catholic Church through 2 tumultuous decades, firmly establishing himself as a champion of peace, and the moral voice of a world torn apart by war. However, shortly after his death in 1958, his heroic legacy has been called into question by some historians who claimed that his "silence" during the Nazi holocaust allowed Hitler to carry out his Final Solution against the Jews.

Peter Gumpel, author and ardent defender Sr. Margherita Marchione, M.P.F., Ph.D., this gripping documentary explores the difficult choices Pius XII faced during the Second World War, and provides convincing proof that his bold, yet discreet, prophetic actions saved tens of thousands of Jewish lives and paved the way for a new ear of Catholic-Jewish relations that have deepened over the pst 50 years.

St Therese of Lisieux by Those Who Knew Her
Testimonies from the Process of Beatification...by Christopher O Mahony. This book presents what those who knew her said about her when the first steps were taken towards her canonization. Her sisters, a maid, a shcool friend, her novice misstress, her novices and others, all have something to tell about her from their own personal experience. And what they have to say provides a wonderful complement to her own Story of a Soul. The Therese they present is a loving, gentle and unassuming as we have always known her, but that quiet strength of character and undoubtable courage of the person wholly yielded up to God in loving trust regain their rightful emphasis in this restoration of 'the true face' of St. Therese.

Cloistered Carmel: A Brief History of the Carmelite Nuns
Father Joachim Smet, author of The Carmelites, the prestigious 4 volume history of the Carmelite Order, presents in a more popular form the story of what many consider to be its heart: the enclosed nuns. Cloistered Carmel chronicles the origins and development of this particular expression of the Order's contemplative charism: its subsequent history through its golden era in the 17th century, its persecution by enlightened monarchs and liberal governments, and finally its revival in the second half of the 20th century. The presence of women in Carmel is practically coeval with that of men, but initially less evident: in the Middle Ages women took the same vows as the friars but lived privately in their own homes. Only after Nicolas V granted them papal recognition in 1452 did Carmelite Sisters regularly gather into communities. Today Cloistered Carmel takes its rightful place as the heart of the Order and in the Church. Institutum Carmelitanum, Roma 1986. PB, 164 pages.

Chesterton By: Dave Armstrong Beloved Catholic author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a poet, a journalist, a mystery novelist, a people's theologian and, some would say, a prophet who only by looking at the world upside-down could see it clearly enough to predict its future. He was also a wordsmith of the highest order, capable of making words dance with delight upon the page. The Wisdom of Mr. Chesterton is a unique collection of the pithiest and most profound sentences ever to spring from his pen. Editor and renowned apologist Dave Armstrong has scoured Chesterton's voluminous writings even the most obscure gathered together his choicest quotes, and meticulously organized them by topic. Sure to delight readers with its wit and charm. Saint Benedict Press, PB, 365 pgs

The Way of Divine Love
Sister Josefa Menendez "My Heart has but one desire, which is to enclose you in It, to possess you in My love, then to make of your frailty and littleness a channel to convey mercy to many souls who will be saved by your means. Later on, I will reveal to you the burning secrets of My Heart and many souls will profit by them. I want you to write down and keep all I tell you. It will be read when you are in Heaven. Do not think that I make use of you because of your merits, but I want souls to realize how My Power makes use of poor and miserable instruments." On 29th December 1923, Sister Josefa Menendez, died at the age of thirty-three at the Convent of Les Feuillants, Poiters. During her earthly life she had received visions from the Lord that spoke of His unfathomable love for the world. Everything in Josefa's life is grace giving and profoundly moving. Her writings and her life confirm each other, as evidence that all that took place in her was divine in origin. Even the most extraordinary happenings have an aim and signficance. There are no useless details, no record of revelations that do not bring out in clearer lgiht and focus some dogmatic truth, giving us deeper insight into the Heart of Our Lord, His Love, the value of souls, the happiness of heaven, the irreparable loss of the damned.

The Three Conversions in the Spiritual Life
"In this compact book the famous Thomist Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, who was perhaps the greatest thologian of the 20th century, sets forth the classic Catholic traditions on the spiritual life as the full flowering of Sanctifying Grace in the soul. He explains the three stages of the spiritual life- the Purgative Way, the Illuminative Way, and the Unitive Way- showing the transitions or conversions from one period to another. Basing his teaching on Scripture, the Fathers,St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John of the Cross and St. Catherine of Siena, he explains the three conversions in the lives of the Apostles, the analogous transitions in our physical development, the role of infused contemplation and the characteristics of the three stages...."

The Primitive Church
The Church in the Days of the Apostles by Rev.D.I. Lanslots, O.S.B. Ever wonder how the Catholic Church actually got started? Here is recorded the exciting history beginning with the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday and continuing through the death of St. John the Evangelist at the end of the first century including all the principle events in the dramatic founding of the Catholic Church: The conversion of 3000 when the Apostles first left the Cenacle, the stoning of St. Stephen (the first martyr), the miraculous conversion of St. Paul, his extraordinary missionary journeys, the conversion of Cornelius (the first gentile Christian), the Council of Jerusalem, the martyrterdom fo St. James, how the Apostles propagated the new religion, Sts. Peter and Paul in Rome, their martyrdom, the early persecutions, the destruction of Jerusalem, the writing of the New Testament, the early popes and martyrs, and the death of St. John. This book will show that the Apostles and their desciples were on fire with Christ, literally consumed themselves spreading Christianity, and testafied to its truth with their blood.

The Priest in Union with Christ
By Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, OP In The Priest in Union with Christ, the famous Thomistic theologian, Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. expounds in a disciplined manner upon the specific holiness of the priesthood and the supernatural fruitfulness of the priestly apostolate. Steeped in Sacred Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas and other traditional Catholic sources, the author presents the classic Catholic traditions on the priestly vocation - traditions which many seminarians and young priests today may have never even heard of. He begins by explaining the character and the specific sacramental grace of Holy Orders, as well as the central sarcedotal work: to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. From this foundation he proceeds to the interior life of the priest, and then to the priest's apostolate as confessor, as preacher and as spiritual director, keeping constantly focused on the great twofold goal of every priest's life: the glory of God and the salvation of souls. For without this constant "bias toward eternity" in all he does, the priest is fundamentally off course. Among the topics covered are: Union with Christ as Priest and Victim Different ways of offering Mass - from the sacrilegious Mass to the Mass of the Saints The Priest's own Communion Examples of priests who were Saints The priest and Our Lady The Confessor as father, doctor, teacher and judge, according to St. Alphonsus Ligouri And much more! Today when many priests and seminarians have been led to believe that they must personally design their own particular priesthood to meet the needs of the people, this book is of primary importance to help them re-focus their pristhood on God, on eternal life and on the saving of souls as based on the perennial teachings of the Church and as exemplified in the lives of the Saints who were themselves priests. A seminarian or priest who reads and digests The Priest in Union with Christ will realize that the priest is not meant to be merely a functionary of the Church or a fulfiller of the desires of his flock but rather that he has been called by God to the highest vocation on earth, to great personal sanctity and to a lofty, disciplined ministry to souls - all in union with the Great High Priest Himself, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Precious Blood
Price of Our Salvation by Father Faber Why do we honor the Precious Blood of Jesus? Because it is, as Father Faber indicates by the subtitle of this book, "The Price of Our Salvation." Our Lord died on the cross from loss of blood. Hence, His Precious Blood is in truth the instrument of our salvation. With this thought being central to his book, Father Faber explores all the implications of the Precious Blood of Jesus in our lives - its mystery and necessity, its history and prodigality, the devotion we should have toward it, and the sway of its empire. For "it is from the Precious Blood of Jesus alone that our salvation comes." The Precious Blood by Father Faber is therefore actually a study in our salvation, but, as with all of his books, it is more; it is also a resume of our faith and insight. After this book, the reader will conclude with Father Faber that "it is out of the Precious Blood that men draw martyrdoms, vocations, celibacies, austerities, heroic charities and all the magnificent graces of high sanctity."

The Fourteen Holy Helpers
by Fr. Bonaventure Hammer, O.F.M. In centuries past it was a common Catholic custom to invoke the spiritual assistance of 14 ancient Catholic Saints _ mostly martyrs _ for help in a host of personal problems: Throat ailments, headaches, stomach and intestinal disorders, epilepsy, storms, travelling, diabolical possession, fire, madness, backache, family troubles, death agony, bites from animals, lightening, sudden death, etc. These 14 Saints became known as "The 14 Holy Helpers," and devotion to them was virtually universal in the Church. Here are the Patron Saints of maidens, mechanics, architects, builders, Christian philosophers, cripples, beggars, women in childbirth, dancers, midwives, physicians, etc. This book has a short, inspiring biography of each Saint, followed by the lessons to be learned from his/ her life, plus the principle cares for which he (or she) is usually invoked. Devotions and prayers to each Saint complete the book. This book is a work to inspire everyone to invoke these Saints _ in order to obtain many favors from heaven and to link the present age with the earliest centuries of the Church.

The Foot of the Cross
By Father Faber....The Sorrows of Mary. Father plumbs to the depths the meaning of Our Lady's Seven Sorrows. each one is described and analysed with the precision of a theologian and the artistry of a poet, inciting new tenderness toward the sorrows of Our Heavenly Mother and the love of her Divine Son. Father Faber says, "We never advance more rapidly in love of the Son than when we travel by the Mother, and that what we have built most solidly in Jesus has been built with Mary. There is no time lost in seeking Him if we go at once to Mary; for He is always there, always at home" and again, "He who is growing in devotion to the Mother is grwoing in all good things. His time cannot be better spent; His eternity cannot be more infallibly secured. But devotion is, on the whole, more a growth of love than of reverence. And there is nothing about Our Lady which stimulates our love more effectively than her dolors." TAN Publishing, 406 pp

The Cure D'Ars
St. Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney By Abbe Franois Trochu Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney (8 May 1786 - 4 August 1859) was born on the eve of the Frence Revolution and grew up in an age of failing faith and social upheaval. Already a late vocation with little formal schooling or academic aptitude, he was ordained in 1815 and appointed parish priest of the village of Ars, near Lyon. He was by no means dull, and his lack of intellectual prowess was more than compensated for by his steadfast faith, unwavering pursuit of holiness and heroic commitment to the duties and demands of his priestly office. Only 70 years after his death he was named the "Patron Saint of Parish Priests." In this definitive biography of St. Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney, Abbe Truchu has compiled the many extraordinary facts surrounding the life and vocation of the Cure of Ars. Shying away from popular legend and basing his book largely on the records and documents used by the Church in the official Process of Beatification and Canonization, Trochu presents an inspiring journey into the life of the Cure that is at once marvelous and authentic. As no one else, the author gives readers a vivid and accurate picture of this loving and generous saint, remarkable for his burning desire to make God's goodness known to a world that had hardened itself against Him - A God who said He was "quicker to forgive than a mother to snatch her child from the fire."

Orthodoxy
G.K. Chesterton The most brilliant book of apologetics in the English language. Chesterton wrote Orthodoxy in 1908 in response to a challenge from one of his readers to state his creed. Rarely has any challenge been more gloriously and chivalrously met. This is early Chesterton at its best: sparkling paradoxes, breathtaking word-play, trenchant argument and blinding logic. The reader is treated to a witty and insightful work, that illustrates how reasonable orthodoxy really is, despite the attacks of its critics. The book also provides a spiritual autobiography, as Chesterton employs his doscovery of orthodox Christianity in order to defend its beauty and its sanity against modern secular schools of philosophy. The book manages to intellectually challenge the reader, while still appealing to a child-like sense of awe at the world around us. Saint Benedict Press, soft cover, 181 pages

Mother of the Savior and our Interior Life
By Fr. R. Garrigou-Lagrange, OP The Mother of the Savior is not just another pius book about Mary, but perhaps the finest summation of the Catholic Church's teaching about the Mother of God ever penned - especially because it is written by a pre-eminent authority, with brevity, economy and absence of novelty or speculation or "merely metaphorical expressions." From the pen of one of the 20th century's greatest theologians, the book is suffused with the spirit of faith inspired by love begotten of sanctity. It is aimed at increasing in us our love for and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary by teaching us more about her. Thus, it is primarily theological and educational - in the conviction that it is only by increased knowledge of Mary that we will grow to love her more. Addressed in this work: The role of Mary and the graces given her as the Mother of God. How she is the Mother of all men, collectively as well as individually. Her role as Co-Redemptrix of all men. Her power of intercession for us in the distribution of all graces. Her Queenship of Heaven and Earth and the honor of hyperdulia we pay her. How True Devotion to Mary is such a certain means of sanctification. Why the human race should be consecrated to Mary to obtain peace for the world.

Into the Light ...of Eternal Life
by Monk Matthew While the hope of this book is to bring comfort to the bereaved, the wider purpose is, for the interest of all Christians, a consideration of what happens to the soul before, during and after death. The proposition is that, for all who are aspiring to the Christian ethic, far more go to heaven than the attitude entrenched from the ages allows.

Imitation of Christ
By Thomas à Kempis. A familiar classic, this was first published in 1418. It has been an enduring all time favorite, after the Bible of course.

Hungry Souls
Gerard J.M. Van Den Aardweg After a week of hearing ghostly noises, a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother, dead for three decades. She reproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses said in her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve, leaving an indelible burn mark, and departs... A Lutheran minister, no believer in Purgatory, is the puzzled recipient of repeated visitations from "demons" who come to him seeking prayer, consolation, and refuge in his little German church. But pity for the poor spirits overcomes the man's skepticism, and he marvels at what kind of departed souls could belong to Christ and yet suffer still... Hungry Souls recounts these stories and many others trustworthy, Church-verified accounts of earthly visitations from the dead in Purgatory. Accompanying these accounts are images from the "Museum of Purgatory" in Rome, which contains relics of encounters with the Holy Souls, including numerous evidences of hand prints burned into clothing and books; burn marks that cannot be explained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones. Riveting! TAN Publishers, Soft cover, 157 pg, c 2008

Humility of Heart
"Fr. Cajetan da Bergamo has assembled in this incomparable Catholic classic every conceivable motive for us to practice the virtue of humility. From every direction, he marshalls up the reasons why this virtue is paramount in the lives of all Saints and of all those on the way of perfection." "This classic study in humility describes the nature of that virtue typical of all Saints - the one virtue that underlies every other virtue and without which none of us will enter Heaven. Says, 'Impregnate yourself with humility, and you will soon find that all other virtues will follow without any effort on your part.'" TAN Books, PB

Fr. de Meester asks why and how this young girl, who asked to be admitted to the Carmel of Lisieux and persevered in her vocation to a hidden life in an obscure corner of France, is not only loved and invoked by millions of people but has become a profound influence on theology, spirituality, and the missionary apostolate, culminating in her being a Doctor of the Church. He shows how the intuitions of her faith were achieved by growing from spiritual poverty to spiritual maturity through much suffering and in spite of many crises and reversals. This book reveals Therese as the saint of hope, whose constant watchword was 'My God, I love you!,' and as a revolutionary of love through whom God worked and works as a liberating force. Conrad de Meester is a Belgian Discalced Carmelite who has made the interpretation and exposition of the life and thought of St. Therese his life's work. The first version of this book appeared in English in 1982 and has been unavailable for some years. ICS Publications, Originally published 2002 by Burns and Oats, soft cover, 142 pp

Therese of Lisieux and Marie of the Trinity
Author: Pierre Descouvemont Translated by: Alexandra Plettenberg-Serban In 1894, after having spent her youth in Paris, Marie-Louis Castel entered the Carmel of Lisieux. She was twenty years old. Thoughtful and full of life she was the beneficiary of the advice and friendship of her young mistress of novices: Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus. She lived in the Carmel of Lisieux until her death in 1944 putting into practice in her daily life the 'little way' taught to her by her saintly novice mistress. Her recollections have been put together here by Fr. Pierre Descouvemont, well known for his studies in Theresien spirituality. They constitute a unique witness regarding St. Thérèse and her entourage, and provide a first-hand account of life in the Carmel of Lisieux during the fifty years following the death of the Little Flower: the process of her canonization with all the consequences which that had on the day-to-day activities behind the cloister grill. The unpretentious testimony of Sr. Marie of the Trinity demonstrates very well how anyone who practices the 'spirituality of the smile' can reach heroic heights of sanctity. The cross became for her, as it was for St. Thérèse whom she so admired and sought to imitate, a source of great joy. Suffering terribly from a painful facial ulcer in the final years of her life, she remained always 'a child who knew no evil.' Her favorite saying, which she had learned from St. Thérèse and which she was known often to repeat was, 'No! Life is not sad!' It's an attitude and outlook on life that is found on every page of this inspiring work. About the Author: Pierre Descouvemont is a priest of the diocese of Cambrai in Normandy, France, who has been an ardent follower and scholar of St. Thérèse of Lisieux for many years. He taught philosophy for 26 years and is presently called upon as a retreat master for pilgrims to Lisieux, where his characteristic joy is infectious. He has authored numerous books and articles about St. Thérèse, many of which have been translated into Italian and Portuguese. This is the first to be translated into English.

The Way of Perfection
In this famous spiritual classic the great St. Teresa of Avila comes down from the heights of contemplation that she described in her Autobiography. Here, she starts at the beginning in the matter of prayer, teaching a simple form of mental prayer by which one may progress far in a short time. In the first half of the book, St. Teresa gives many fascinating insights into the spiritual life - especially as lived in a convent - regarding relatives, confessors, health, the snares of Satan, supernatural vs. natural love, etc. In the second half she tells how to begin a life of prayer. She explains what contemplation is and how it differs from ordingary mental prayer and from vocal prayer. In the process, she analyzes the Pater Noster or "Our Father" phrase by phrase, showing its hidden meanings and explaining how to transform our vocal prayer into mental prayer. St. Teresa assures us that those who practice this simple mental prayer may well hope that God will grant them the "prayer of quiet," which is the beginning of contemplation and of God's heavenly "Kingdom" enjoyed even on this earth. The Way of Perfection again shows St. Teresa's wonderful combination of common sense, strong Catholic faith and amazing spiritual energy and penetration. In this book she shares her own ardent spirit, encouraging us in our efforts to serve God and assuring us that these efforts will be rewarded far beyond what we might ever deserve or can possibley imagine.

The Plays of St. Therese of Lisieux
Critical Edition of the Complete Works Centenary Edition (1873-1973) Over a period of about three years toward the end of her life, St. Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) was asked by her Carmelite superiors to compose 8 "theatrical pieces" for special occasions in her convent. She did not consider them mere trivial amusements. On the contrary , Therese invested herself wholeheartedly in the writing and performance of these litte dramas, which provided a welcome opportunity to articulate her growing spiritual insights and share them with her religious community. Here we find echoes of her great themes, some developed at greater length than anywhere else in her writings: Mary of Nazareth and Joan of Arc, humility and the "little way," confidence and love, and so much more. In the present volume, for the first time, all eight of her "plays" (or "pious recreations," as they are sometimes called in the French) are published together in their entirety for English-speaking readers. They open a new window onto the message of the Church's youngest "doctor." Also included is a masterful general introduction by the noted Theresian expert, Bishop Guy Gaucher, O.C.D., as well as individual introductions to each play explaining its context and significance.

The Life and Thought of Edith Stein
Freda Mary Oben, PhD How do we judge that a life has been well spent? We look to the intentions of the person, the contribution made to society and, most of all to the fulfillment of God's will in that life. As a child and adult, Edith Stein made love of family, friends and the whole human race a priority in her life. As a German during World War I, she wanted to serve and to heal which she did as a Red Cross nurse. As a woman she wanted to fight for women's rights which she did as a very young suffragette and leader of the Catholic Women's Movement in Europe. Her hunger was to learn, to understand truth and to philosophize. Her seminal work as philosopher and theologian wedded phenomenology to scholasticism and brought her wide acclaim as an innovative thinker. As a Catholic, she wanted to be holy, both as a lay person and later as a contemplative nun. As a convert to Catholicism, she wanted to be faithful to her Jewish heritage, to share the fate of the Jews during the Holocaust in imitation of Christ's passion, and to expiate for the human sins which caused the Shoah. And she did all three to the point of martyrdom. On August 9, 1942 she was among the many who were gassed that day in a little white cottage at Auschwitz, then buried in a mass grave, later to be exhumed and cremated. By all human reckoning, Sr. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, should have been forgotten. But this is far from the case. Beatified by Pope John Paul II on May 1, 1987 and canonized by him on October 11, 1998, she was named one of the co-patrons of Europe in 1999. This book will introduce the reader to the life and thought of this truly extraordinary woman whose legacy has much to offer those of us who are privileged to live in the Third Millennium. About the Author: Like St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Dr. Freda Mary Oben is a convert from Judaism. A noted authority on the life and thought of Edith Stein, she received a Ph.D. in literature from Catholic University, has taught and lectured widely, and has written countless articles about Edith Stein. Her work Edith Stein: Scholar, Feminist, Saint (Alba House, 1988) is presently in its sixth printing and is widely cited by scholars and devotees alike. The present book expands on the teaching of Edith Stein and brings new insights into the psyche of a saint whose life has much to teach us all. Alba House Books, 2000, Soft Cover, 163 pg

The Heirs of St. Teresa of Avila
Edited by Christopher C. Wilson, PhD. This issue of Carmelite Studies presents new insights into the lives and writings of individuals who knew Teresa of Ávila in life and who, after her death in 1582, worked to propagate and defend her legacy, including the illustrious nuns Ana de San Bartolomé, Ana de Jesús, María de San José, and Ana de San Agustín, and her close male confidant and collaborator, Jerónimo Gracián de la Madre de Dios. A further focus of the essays is the reception of the Teresian heritage by individuals outside the order, as mediated by these early Discalced Carmelites and by Teresa's published writings. The essays were originally presented at the 2004 symposium "The Heirs of St. Teresa" at Georgetown University. That year marked the 400th anniversary of a pivotal moment in Discalced Carmelite history: the arrival in France of a group of six nuns, some of Teresa's most favored protégées, including Ana de Jesús and Ana de San Bartolomé, who traveled from Spain to inaugurate the order's first French convent. Motivated by devotion to their Founding Mother, amidst success and setbacks, these and other of Teresa's heirs strove to carry out her will with a resolute determination and to extend her reputation for sanctity throughout the world. ICS Publications is pleased to issue this volume in its series Carmelite Studies conjointly with the Institutum Carmelitanum of the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance in Rome.

The Context of Holiness
Psychological and Spiritual Reflections on the Life of St. Therese of Lisieux by Marc Foley, O.C.D. The Context of Holiness explores both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the life of St. Therese of Lisieux. The basic premise of this book is that the spiritual life is not an encapsulated sphere, cloistered from the realities of our human existence. Rather, it is our response to God within the psychological, social and emotional dimensions of life. St. Therese did not grow in holiness apart from the human condition. Like all of us, she was emotionally scarred by the fragileness of life. She was deeply wounded by the death of her mother at the age of four, bedridden as the result of a neurotic episode when she was ten, struggled with debilitating scrupples most of her life, and suffered an agonizing dark night of faith. St. Therese was no plaster saint. Her life was a real life. As it unfolds before us on the pages of Story of a Soul, we see a pilgrim soul who made its way home to God through many raging storms and dark nights. The specific nature of Therese's trials may differ from our own, but psychological and emotional suffering are our common lot. For example, we may not have known the pain of our mother dying when we were four, but most of us have known the pain of the loss of a loved one. The sufferings that we share with Therese are universal - physical pain anxiety, anger, sadness, depression, loneliness, doubts of faith, to name a few. These sufferings make doing the will of God difficult, but they are the context of our choices. They are the context of holiness. ICS Publications, 159 pages, Soft Cover

The Collected Works of St. John of the Cross
"How many lights have I not drown from the works of our holy Father, St. John of the Cross!" Therese of Lisieux "Far beyond the boundaries of the Catolic Church, John of the Cross is recognized as one of the leading spirits, a reliable signpost, which no one wno earnestly wishes to advance in the mysterious realm of the interior life may bypass." Edith Stein "I myself felt especially drawn by the experience of St. John of the Cross. From the first years of my priestly formation I found him a safe guide along the paths of faith." John Paul II ICS Publications, 1991, PB, 808 pp

The Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila
Including The Relations The Life of St. Theresa of Jesus (1515-1582) The Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila is one of the most remarkable life stories ever written. For here, in a scrupulously accurate translation that is beloved by the Carmelites, the great Reformer of Carmel describes her life and the extraordinary workings of grace within her soul. St. Teresa's vigorous prose shows forth her robust common sense, as well as her strong Catholic faith, which embraces wholeheartly those teachings of Christ which the world finds most absurd. St. Teresa describes her own spiritual struggles, her long peoiod of spiritual laxity, her vision of her potential place in Hell, the great assistance she received from St. Joseph, her many mystical graces - including visions and locutions - her fears of delusion by Satan, and the guidance she received from learned spiritual directors, such as St. Peter of Alcantara (1499-1562). Her ardent spirit shines forth as she writes of what she holds most dear: the faithful service of God - "His Majesty," as she calls Him _ and her great eagerness for more souls to withdraw from the worthless pleasures of this earth and give themselves to Him. St. Teresa of Avila was one of the most admirable and colorful women af all time, who despite her mystical gifts, remained intensely practical and down-to-earth, such that she was much loved in her own lifetime. And The Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila is an ever-fresh source of inspirition from which the reader will come to know the Great Madre and to understand a little better the Divine Majesty she served.

St. Therese of Lisieux: her last conversations
Those who attended St. Thérèse of Lisieux during her last illness were living in the company of one of God's "greatest" saints, one prepared for our times. Fortunately for us they did not simply listen to her conversations, they wrote them down, totally unaware that eventually a great multitude of yet unborn friends of St. Therese would hunger for her words. After the passing of so many years since her death, 30 September, 1897, and her canonization, 17 May, 1925, there is still a great interest in this very powerful friend of God.

St. Teresa of Avila: The Way of Perfection
Study Edition by Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD St. Teresa of Avila is an unsurpassed teacher of Christian prayer and spirituality, and in The Way of Perfection, St. Teresa gives practical counsels and advice on prayer, destined originally for the few nuns who embraced the reformed Carmelite life she extablished. As a handbook for spiritual formation, it presented them with the basic Christian spiirituality undergirding their Consititutions and Rule. Over the centuries, the book's appeal has reached far beyond the walls of Carmelite monasteries, and The Way of Perfection has become a spiritual classic. More and more today, Teresa's instructions speak to all those interested in prayer, providing them with basic guidelines for praying and showing how to avoid potential pitfalls. But as the readership and interest grow, so does the need for some help in working with this sixteenth-century text. The principles and teachings in Teresa's book, first presented within the limited horizons of her own situaltion, clearly lend themselves to broader applications, and can work well in all walks of life. This study edition-- with its introduction, commentary, notes, discussion questions, and glossary-- provides what is needed to assist contemporary readers in makeing these applications and delving more deeply into the text's spiritual riches. ICS Publications, 2000, PB, 534 pages

St John of the Cross
Peter Slattery, O.Carm. A group of Australians has gathered together to reflect on the relevance of St. John of the Cross for today. In a word, they not only found that this 16th century Spanish Carmelite mystic is very relevant, but that he presents for us a spirituality of substance. This, of course, implies that there are other current spiritualities around which lack depth and substance. The contributors to this book show how the wisdom of St. John of the Cross provides guidance to the many people in our society who are thirsting for nourishment on their spiritual journey through life.

SAINT THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX Doctor of the Universal Church
Steven Payne, OCD On World Mission Sunday, October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II declared St. Thérèse of Lisieux a Doctor of the Universal Church. This event marked not only the culmination of an unprecedented series of honors bestowed on the greatest saint of modern times, as St. Pius X called her, but it also represented a watershed in the evolution of the understanding of this ecclesiastical title bestowed on only thirty-three saints in the history of the Church. Certainly, at the time of her death in 1897, no one would have guessed that this 24-year-old Carmelite nun, with such a limited education and imperfect literary style, who never wrote a treatise or published an article and who died virtually unknown in an obscure French Carmel, would one day come to be ranked alongside such eminent personalities as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas as a doctor ecclesiae. Her selection did not come about in a vacuum, nor did it happen easily. The story behind the title and her reception of it as documented in these pages makes for truly fascinating and thought-provoking reading. About the Author: Steven Payne, OCD, is a priest of the Washington Province of Discalced Carmelite friars. He is past editor of Spiritual Life magazine and ICS Publications and the author of numerous works in philosophy of religion, theology, and Carmelite spirituality. He has taught at the Weston School of Theology in Boston, at the De Sales School of Theology and Washington Theological Union in Washington, DC, and most recently at Tangaza College and the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. He is the current president of the Carmelite Institute in Washington, DC. Alba House Books, 2002, Soft cover, 240 pg

Saint Raphael Kalinowski: An Introduction to His Life and Spirituality
Szczepan T. Praskiewicz, OCD Translated by Thomas Coonan, Michael Griffin, OCD, and Lawrence Sullivan, OCD Little known outside his native Poland, Joseph Kalinowski (Raphael of St. Joseph, OCD) was born in 1835 and became by turns, an engineer, a military officer, a leader in the 1863 insurection against Russian domination, an exile in Siberia, a tutor, and eventually a Discalced Carmelite priest. He died in 1907 at the Carmelite monastery he had founded in Wadowice, the city where Karol Wojtila- the future Pope John Paul II who would later beatify and canonize him- was born only 13 years later. Today Raphael Kalinowski is remembered especially as a man of boundless charity in the Siberian prison camps, a restorer of Carmel in Poland, a skilled confessor and spiritual director, and a tireless promoter of Marian devotion and of unity between the Eastern and Western Churches. In 1991, he became the first Discalced Carmelite friar canonized since St. John of the Cross.

Potency and Act
Edith Stein Translated by Walter Redmond Potency and Act is the second of 3 works in which Edith Stein said she endeavored to fulfill her "proper mission in philosophy, her life's task": relating the phenomenology of her teacher Edmund Husserl and the scholasticism of St. Thomas Aquinas. But more than "critically comparing" the 2 ways of thinking, she wished to "fuse" them into her own "philosophical system," searching for that perennial philosophy lying "beyond ages and peoples, common to all who honestly seek truth."

Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux, Volume I
Letter writing at the end of the nineteenth century was an important activity for the people of France. Those who received letters from family and friends alike usually kept the hand-written texts sent to them as precious gifts. That is why this collection of letters by and to one of the greatest saints of modern times is so interesting to us today. No mere notes slapped together in distracted haste, the missives found in this volume reveal communications of warm personal sentiment along with expressions of lively spiritual development. Thérèse's efforts as a fifteen-year-old to enter Carmel before reaching the required age appear in revealing detail. This "tortuous course of a very subtle diplomacy" is set out not only by the letters of Thérèse herself, but also by those of so many others who shared her hopes and eventual victory.

Let Yourself be Loved, Elizabeth of the Trinity
Eugene McCaffrey OCD John Paul II spoke of Elizabeth of the Trinity as being 'a brilliant witness to the joy of being rooted and grounded in love'. Though she lived only 26 years, it was enough for her to discover, botha s a lay contemplative and as a Carmelite nun, the mystery of God's love. The overriding truth of her lifewas that God loves each of us personally and invites us to allow ourselves to be embraced by that love. The pages of this book explore some of the profound insights of this gifted young woman - the child with fire in her eyes, the virtuoso pianist, the teenager who loved glamorous hats, the nun wrapped in silence, the lover of Christ pouring out her heart for the Church and the world. Her story has a relevance to an age searching for meaning and identity; it offers both an encouragement and a challenge to listen and respond to the deeper music of the heart and the gentle vibrations of the spirit. A perfect gift idea with beautiful paper and print in this gorgeous little book. Teresian Press, 2008, Soft cover, 81 pages

John and Therese: Flames of Love
The Influence of St. John of the Cross in the Life and Writings of St. Therese of Lisieux Guy Gaucher, Auxiliary Bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux In her autobiography, Thérèse of Lisieux writes: Ah! how many lights have I not drawn from the works of our holy Father, St. John of the Cross! ...At the ages of 17 and 18, I had no other spiritual nourishment. in this book, Bishop Gaucher, a well-known French author and eminent authority on St. Thérèse, meticulously traces Johns influence on the young Carmelite nun and finds that he was a presence that guided and inspired her throughout her short life, right up to the day she died. Gods poet was for her a teacher of Faith, Hope and specially Love. No other book about Thérèses spirituality unfolds so completely what this young Saint and Doctor of the Church really meant by the flames of love, which consumed her as surely as the flames of any holocaust. To live and to die of love was her sole passion; to love Jesus and to make him loved was the essence of her singular vocation and mission in life. Through the pages of this book, we are able, at least a little, to gain entrance into the heart of all her poetry and, at the same time, are given a new or perhaps very first understanding of some of the more difficult passages from the writings of her spiritual father and mentor, St. John of the Cross.

He is My Heaven: The Life of Elizabeth of the Trinity
by Jennifer Moorcroft A modern mystic, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity was a Discalced Carmelite nun who died in 1906 in the Dijon Carmel of France at the young age of 21 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1984. Although influenced by Saint Therese of Lisieux, a near contemporary of hers, Elizabeth's spirituality was distinctive in its own way and it has inspired many Christians. Elizabeth attributes her biblical spirituality to her "dear Saint Paul"; her name, "Elizabeth," which literally means "House of GOd," captured her ongoing theology of the indwelling of the Blessed Trinity, found in the silence of prayer, transforming the very one who prays into a "Praise of Glory". One of her most famous sayings, "I have found heaven on earth, since heaven is God, and God is in my soul," epitomizes Elizabeth's realization of this doctrine in her spiritual experience. She described ehr mission as leading souls to seek and to find God in prayer: "My mission in heaven will be to draw souls, helping them to go out of themselves to cling to God, with a spontaneous, love-filled action, and to keep them in that great interior silence which enables God to make His markon them, to transform them into Himself. Here Jennifer Moorcroft encapulatesElizabeth's message, one that appeals to all who want to deepen their prayer lives, whether inside or outside the monastery cloister.

God is All Joy: The Life of St. Teresa of the Andes
By Jennifer Moorcroft Teresa of Jesus of the Andes, Chile's first canonized saint, was a vibrant young woman who loved sports and music and had a wide circle of friends. She entered Carmel and died only 11 months later at the age of 19. Each month more than 100,000 visitors flock to her shrine, many of them young people. What is it about thsi young woman, barely out of school, that draws so many people to her and that is so outstanding that she is now a canonized saint? Because she is one of them, her own people love her. Young people love her because she became a saint by living the same sort of life as they do, in school, playing sports, enjoying her friends, and through it all, living her faith to the full. Teresa's schooling demonstrates a thorough grounding, not only in theology, but also in philosophy, logic, and the humanities. Even more importantly it was at the same time informed by a fervent and disciplined spiritual life centered on the sacraments and above all on the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Theologians, reading the writings of this 19 year old girl, are amazed at the profound, reasoned and clear understanding she had of her faith, a faith that was alive, set on fire by her total love for God. Jennifer Moorcroft tells this remarkable story for English-speaking readers so that they too may catch the fire of the love of God from St. Tesesa of the Andes and find joy and happiness that living in the love of God gives.

Elijah: Prophet of Carmel
Jane Ackerman Members of the three monotheistic faiths have always told stories of what the prophet Elijah has done - and is still expected to do - in sacred history. He is perhaps most appreciated by members of the Carmelite Order, known for its contemplative and postoral orientation. Elijah is considered their legendary founder and traditional patron. Carmelites rank him as one of their greatest spiritual models. Their coat of arms displays his flaming sword, Mount Carmel, and Elijah's proclamation, "With zeal I have been zealous for the Lord God of Hosts." This book inquires into this deep appreciation. It examines the linkage between the Order and the prophet over time. Beginning with the oldest knowledge we have about Elijah, coming from Scripture, Elijah Prophet of Carmel briefly sketches his role in the three faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It then turns to what the distant, but influential, Christian antecedents of the Carmelite Order, the desert hermits, and the early Fathers, wrote about the zealous man of God. As the Carmelite Order was founded, achieved its corporate identity, and changed over time, so did its views of its legendary model. Interaction between storytelling about Elijah and Carmelites' understanding of themselves continues even to the present. As thoughts from the past about the prophet continue to influence them, both Tereesian Carmelites and Carmelites of the Ancient Observance of our times are developing a brand new tradition of him, the tradition of Elijah's double charism. Jane Ackerman is Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Tulsa. She has published articles on Saints Theresa of Avila and John of the Cross and has made a comparative translation of both recensions of St. John's The Living Flame of Love.

Edith Stein: Life in a Jewish Family 1891-1916
An Autobiography Translation by Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D. This initial volume of the Collected Works offers, for the first time in English, Edith Stein's unabridged autobiography depicting herself as a child and young adult. Her text breaks abruptly because the Gestapo arrested, then deported her to Auschwitz in 1942. Edith Stein is oneof the most significant German women of our century. At the age of 25 she became the first assistant to the founder of Phenomenology, Edmund Hussert. She was much in demand as a writer-lecturer after her conversion from atheism to Catholocism. Later, as a Carmelite nun, she maintained her intellectual pursuits until she died, along with so many other Jewish people, in the Holocaust. By making this story available in English, the Institute of Carmelite Studies provides an eye-witness account of persons and activities on the scene when phychology and philosophy became separate disciplines. A Preface, the Forward and Afterward to Edith's text bring out many background details of the rich story she has left us. Includes map and 11 pages of photos. ICS Publications, Soft cover, 548 pages

EDITH STEIN Scholar, Feminist, Saint
Freda Mary Oben, PhD On August 9, 1942, a Carmelite nun of Jewish descent was among the people gassed in a little white cottage at Auschwitz. She was buried in a mass grave; later in the year, her body, like the others, was exhumed and cremated. By all human reckoning, Sr. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, born Edith Stein, had passed into total oblivion. But this has not been the case. In the years since her death, biographies have been written about Edith Stein; her writings have been published and translated into English; finally, in 1998 she was canonized by Pope John Paul II. What is the reason for this? Why is Edith Stein more famous now than when she was alive? Youll find the answers in this masterful work on a remarkable woman who was a Jewish convert, philosopher, educator, feminist, contemplative nun and martyr. About the Author: Dr. Freda Mary Oben is a noted authority on the life and works of Edith Stein. Like Edith Stein, she is a convert from Judaism. She received a PhD in literature from Catholic University, has taught and lectured widely, and has written for several journals. Alba House Books, 1987, Soft cover, 80 pg

Dark Night of the Soul
St. John of the Cross How the journey of self-denial leads to perfect union with God In Dark Night of the Soul, Saint John of the Cross presents us a portrait painted from his own experience - of one who advances successfully through the struggles of the spiritual life. The "dark night" that St. John describes is not abandonment by God but special consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect their souls. With a soul purified from earthly attachments, we can advance through the much quoted but oft midunderstood "dark night of the soul" into unity with God. By accepting the desolation and difficulty of this process, the soul cooperates with God and opens itself to receiving and revealing more perfectly God's glory. Be not afraid - Dark Night of the Soul, through austere and exacting in its instructions for holy living, is laced through with St. John's charity and kindness, his love of all things beautiful and sacred - including you.

Conversation with Christ
The Teaching of St. Teresa of Avila about Personal Prayer by Peter Thomas Rohrbach What St. Teresa has done so brilliantly is to describe precisely how a person can indeed contact God through prayer. Despite her reputation as a soaring Spanish mystic, she was an eminently practical person, and that practicality shines through her teachings about prayer: she is an instructor who shows, in step by step fashion, how the individual can contact God and then sustain that relationship.

Upon This Mountain
Prayer in the Carmelite Tradition by Mary McCormack OCD Christian prayer can sometimes seem like a mystery. How to pray? What method? Whom to turn to? The Carmelite Order - a tradition of prayer and contemplation - is blessed with great teachers of prayer, including Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. But rather than suggest a method, they take us to the essence of prayer, which Teresa describes as 'nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends'. And they focus on what makes up a true relationship with God: humble knowlegde of ourselves, authentic living, exposure to the reality of a self surrendering God, contemplation of His presence within. Upon this Mountain is a succinct and masterly introduction to prayer in the Carmelite tradition. It explores the foundations of prayer, the nature of relationship, the process of entering into stillness, and the fruits of prayer transforming the person who prays and bringing life to the world. In a few short chapters, this profound book says severything. Mary McCormack OCD has been a Carmelite nun for over forty years. She has serves as President of the Association of British Carmels, and has been several times prioress and novice mistress, involved in forming young people in human and spiritual development.

Towards Mystical Union
Julienne McLean This book is a modern commentary on the great Christian mystical text The Interior Castle written by St. Teresa of Avila in sixteenth century Spain. It seeks to encourage and assist modern pilgrims towards a more heart-centred, contemplative and intimate relationship with God through presenting and exploring the saints own spiritual writings and guidance. As well as being a manual for spiritual direction, Towards Mystical Union is also intended to be a contribution to the interface between modern depth psychology, contemplative prayer and the Christian mystical tradition. Through inspiration and experience, the author had found St. Teresa to be a vitally important teacher and spiritual guide. The book had been written in response to an increasing hunger for the spiritual direction and discernment from a holy Mother, which St. Teresa can provide. About the Author: Julienne McLean practices as a psychologist and Jungian analyst in North London, having studied in Australia, the United States and England. She is also a spiritual director who has had a lifelong involvement in the Christian contemplative tradition, with a particular interest in the relationship between depth psychology and Christian mysticism.

The Prophet of Carmel
The Life and Mission of Elias the Prophet Rev. Charles B. Garside, M.A. Mount Carmel is within view of the town of Nazareth in Galilee, where, in the holy house of Mary, the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us. Somewhere along its rugged peak, six hundred years before the birth of Christ, lived the great prophet Elias the Thesbite and his celebate school of disciples. He enters the pages of sacred hsitory at the start of the 17th chapter of the third Book of Kings without introduction, abruptly, like a bolt of lightning, standing before Achab, the impious king of Israel, "like a fire," to which he is so aptly compared in chapter 48 of Eccleasticus. Even the legend of his birth, recounted by Saint Epiphanius in his Lives of the Prophets, has the father of the man of God, in a vision, beholding his son being fed not by his mother's milk but by fire. He appears before the apostate king of the 10 tribes to accuse him of rebellion against his Creator through his sins of impiety, idolatry, and lust, while threatening the ruler and his kingdom with the Divine Vengeance that was to come by means of a three year drought. One cannot help but notice the similarity of Elias (whose name means "strong God") with John the Baptist, the greatest of all the prophets. John, too, rebuked a king who had transgressed the moral law by his incestuous adultery. The Baptist was martyred, Elias sorely persecuted. The Savior Himself refers to his precurser as another Elias. This is the story of the man whose name is practically synonymous with the word prophet. This is the portrait of a thundering visionary who lights up the Old Testament. A man of prayer and solitude, celebate and chaste, he moved courageously with every heavenly summons, never failing, never daunted. Loreto Publications, 1924, Soft cover, 218 pgs

The Prayer of the Holy Family
Father Livinus Donohoe, O.C.D. The author has spent a long life time in the sacred ministery. His work has been mainly giving spiritual direction, especially to the Secular Order. In this book he proposes the example of the Holy Family, who lived on earth in closest union with God and yet went about their daily tasks with the utmost simplicity. These reflection on the Prayer of Jesus,, Mary and Joseph are intelligent, serene, discreet, and wonderfully familiar - the three protagonists are family, Fr. Lavinus' family. They have becom that,during these hours of personal prayer over these 40 years. In sharing the reflections, the author makes a priceless gift. The pages needed to come from that kind of long term meditation if they were to have any hope of measuring up to the proposal which the author sets himself: "to look at leisure, at the life of the Holy Family who lived an ordinalry human life and yet were continuously in the highest union with God....to look at the life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in their personal communion with God as they lived their lives in the daily round of their hidden life" (p. 1). How could anyone do that? By looking at the gospels, yes; but more, by inhabiting them, making the gospels one's daily living space, and so resonating with what is present but unsaid.

The Power of Confidence
Conrad De Meester, OCD In September of 1995, Father Conrad De Meester, an old friend, sent me a copy of his thoroughgoing study of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Dynamique de la Confiance. It took me six months to read it, slowly, a little bit at a time. I have the habit of writing the date when I finish a book on the title page, with a comment recording my impression of it. On the title page of this book I wrote simply: This is a masterpiece. Thus begins New Yorks Auxiliary Bishop Patrick V. Aherns Preface to this classic work by one of the worlds most respected experts on the life and teaching of this latest Doctor of the Church, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. The men and women of today, often disheartened by worry and discouragement, will be reminded by the Little Flower that daily life with all its ups and downs can become a marvelous springboard to sanctity. Her way of spiritual childhood is nothing less than the translation of the evangelical ideal providentially offered to the modern world (Yves Congar). But how did she come to such a profound yet simple insight into the secret of the way to Gods heart, and thus to eternal happiness with Him in Heaven? This book retraces the itinerary that led Thérèse to her great discovery and beyond; it enters into her simple and surprising psychology, and relives with her the gradual blossoming of her conviction. Between God and Thérèse, conscious of her own incompleteness, it is confidence which, finally, bridges the gap. Confidence and love. Once we understand this, we shall see that there is great power in utter confidence in God and love for Him. A close and careful reading of The Power of Confidence will show us how and why this is true for everyone. Alba House, PB. 377 pgs

The Marriage of All and Nothing

The New Zealan author's intensely personal, experiential style gives "flesh and bones" to the notion of the "dark night of the soul".

She reveals how adept a guide she is to managing the darkness of physical suffering and spiritual progress. ICS Publications, 2002, PB, 251 pp.

Prayer: the Heart of the Gospels
By James McCaffrey OCD The message of this book is that prayer is at the heart of the gospels. Presenting biblical scholarship in a clear, readable form accessible to all, Fr James McCaffrey also shows that prayer is a key to understanding the central insight of each evangelist into the person of Jesus. He explores such themes as: the gospel portraits of Jesus; the Gethsemane scene; the prayer of faith, surrender and listening; and the main teacings of the gospels on prayer. By taking each gospel in turn, in order of composition, the author allows a compleeing picture to emerge of the early Church's gradual deepening understanding of the mystery of Christian prayer in the gospel tradition. The book invites its readers not just to learn about the gospels but also - perhaps especially - to pray with them. It therefore includes a detailed introduction to lectio divina, each chapter ending with a guided exercies in praying with scripture, as well as questions for reflection. James McCaffrey OCD is prior of the Carmelite Community, Oxford, director of the retreat center there, and editor of Mount Carmel: A Review of the Spiritual Life. He has a doctorate from the Pontifical Biblical Insitute, Rome, and many years' experience of lecturing and writing on scripture and spirituality worldwide. Columba Press, soft cover, 184 pages

Let Yourself be Loved, Elizabeth of the Trinity
Eugene McCaffrey OCD John Paul II spoke of Elizabeth of the Trinity as being 'a brilliant witness to the joy of being rooted and grounded in love'. Though she lived only 26 years, it was enough for her to discover, botha s a lay contemplative and as a Carmelite nun, the mystery of God's love. The overriding truth of her lifewas that God loves each of us personally and invites us to allow ourselves to be embraced by that love. The pages of this book explore some of the profound insights of this gifted young woman - the child with fire in her eyes, the virtuoso pianist, the teenager who loved glamorous hats, the nun wrapped in silence, the lover of Christ pouring out her heart for the Church and the world. Her story has a relevance to an age searching for meaning and identity; it offers both an encouragement and a challenge to listen and respond to the deeper music of the heart and the gentle vibrations of the spirit. A perfect gift idea with beautiful paper and print in this gorgeous little book. Teresian Press, 2008, Soft cover, 81 pages

Lectio Divina and the Practice of Teresian Prayer
By Sam Anthony Morello, O.C.D. St. Teresa of Jesus is the Church's great teacherof prayer, and lectio divina, the ancient Christian approach to praying over the Scriptures, is among the Church's most venerable prayer methods. In this booklet, noted Carmelite retreat director, Sam Anthony Morello, shows how the tradition of lectio can assist us in following the teresian way of prayer, and how in turn Teresa's insights and attitudes can enrich our contemporary practice of lectio. In clear and practical language, the author explains the fundamental ingredients of teresian prayer, and relates them to lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation)., the four traditional elements of lectio divina. A closing series of reflection questions make this an ideal introduction to Teresian prayer for both group discussion and individual study. ICS Publications, 1995, PB, 29pp

Flame of Love
Translated by: Loren G. Smith St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) is regarded as one of the greatest poets of the Spanish language and among the greatest mystical poets of any language. Drawn to the contemplative life, he joined St. Teresa of Avila in her reform of the discalced Carmelites. John considered his poetry to be the most authentic expression of his theology and his ineffable mystical experience. St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) is famous for her extraordinary accomplishments in the reform of the Carmelite order and the founding of new monasteries, for her prose writings on the spiritual life, prayer and contemplation, and for her extraordinary sanctity. Her poetry has not received the same acclaim and attention as Johns. But like him, she used poetry as a way of expressing the ineffable the divine flame of love which consumed her. In preparing these translations, the primary emphasis has been placed on accurately preserving the meaning of the original poems, while retaining their rhyming schemes and utilizing meters as close to the original as possible. Each page of English translation faces the original Spanish text of the poem. Alba House Books, 2005, Soft cover, 207 pg

Finite and Eternal Being
By Edith Stein, Translated by Kurt F. Reinhardt This volume, "written by a beginner for beginners" bears the imprint of the extraordinary intellictual and spiritual journey of its author, one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century. As a Jewess who abandoned her faith as a teen, then undergoing a profound conversion and being baptised the following year, became a prominent German Catholic laywoman. In 1933 she left the academic milieu and entered the Carmel of Cologne. Encouraged by her superiors, she again took up her intellectual labors. Finite and Eternal Being is her master work, the culmination of her lifelong search for truth in all its philosophical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. With her careful step-by-step analysis, she gradually shows how the being of all finite existence (especially the human "I") finds its ultimate ground and destiny in the eternal Divine Being, the creator whose trinitarian nature is reflected throughout creation.

Essence of Prayer
Ruth Burrows OCD Forward by Sister Wendy Beckett What do we mean by prayer? What does the word mean in the Christian context? Often wen Christians talk about prayer, they seem to have in mind something that they themselves must do. But, seen in that way, prayer confronts us with questions, problems, confusion and discouragement. Ruth Burrows is convinced of the importance of correcting this view. Faith, she insists. assures us that prayer is essentially what God does, how God addresses and looks at us. And what God is doing for us in prayer is nothing other than to give us God's very Self in love. At its simplest, we do not look for success in prayer to provide us with the reassurance we crave. Rather, we hand ourselves over to Divine Love and find all the reassurance we need in living, not for ourselves, but for God. Here. says Burrows, we have the core of the message revealed to us in Jesus. It is the unconditional love of God for us, for each one of us. God the unutterable, incomprehensible Mystery, the Reality of all reality, the Life of all life. God is that self-communicating Love who desires nothing other than to bestow that love on us. In this simple but profound insight we find the richness of vision of a contemplative nun whose message counteacts the tendency of so much modern writing about the spiritual life to imply that we reach God by running faster. It answers to a prevalent interest in the contemplative and monastic life and a growing disire to draw from the wealth of its spiritual tradition. Ruth Burrows is a Carmelite nun at Quidenham in Norfolk, England. HiddenSpring 2006, soft cover, 210 pages with fairly large print

Elijah: Prophet of Carmel
Jane Ackerman Members of the three monotheistic faiths have always told stories of what the prophet Elijah has done - and is still expected to do - in sacred history. He is perhaps most appreciated by members of the Carmelite Order, known for its contemplative and postoral orientation. Elijah is considered their legendary founder and traditional patron. Carmelites rank him as one of their greatest spiritual models. Their coat of arms displays his flaming sword, Mount Carmel, and Elijah's proclamation, "With zeal I have been zealous for the Lord God of Hosts." This book inquires into this deep appreciation. It examines the linkage between the Order and the prophet over time. Beginning with the oldest knowledge we have about Elijah, coming from Scripture, Elijah Prophet of Carmel briefly sketches his role in the three faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It then turns to what the distant, but influential, Christian antecedents of the Carmelite Order, the desert hermits, and the early Fathers, wrote about the zealous man of God. As the Carmelite Order was founded, achieved its corporate identity, and changed over time, so did its views of its legendary model. Interaction between storytelling about Elijah and Carmelites' understanding of themselves continues even to the present. As thoughts from the past about the prophet continue to influence them, both Tereesian Carmelites and Carmelites of the Ancient Observance of our times are developing a brand new tradition of him, the tradition of Elijah's double charism. Jane Ackerman is Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Tulsa. She has published articles on Saints Theresa of Avila and John of the Cross and has made a comparative translation of both recensions of St. John's The Living Flame of Love.

DISTRACTIONS IN PRAYER: BLESSING OR CURSE?
St. Teresa of Avilas Teachings in The Interior Castle Author: Sr. Vilma Seelaus, OCD A great deal of commentary has been written on this archetypal work of Teresas, but no one has approached the work as Sister Vilma does. If we have read The Interior Castle before, we will read it now as though it is an entirely new book. Sister Vilma takes us through the castle from the viewpoint of our distractions. Distractions are, after all, the major problem in anyones prayer, and this is why it is so important to have a commentator of the authors depth guide us through Teresas castle from this one perspective: distractions, their meaning for us in our spiritual lives. It is Sister Vilmas conviction that Teresas insights to the dwelling places of the soul alert us to the meaning of our distractions. As we reflect with her, we begin to see how instead of being a curse, our distractions are a blessing, a visitation from God. Journeying again through the castle and looking at distractions and their meaning through this prism of the seven dwelling places, we will listen with fresh insight to the voices of these distractions and will then even learn to welcome them as integral to Gods transforming process. Kieran Kavanaugh, ocd About the Author: Vilma Seelaus, ocd, is a nun of the Carmelite monastery in Barrington, Rhode Island, where she has served as prioress and formation directress. A member of the Carmelite Forum, she is known for her insightful lectures at their annual meeting. A participant in many inter-denominational monastic gatherings, she has been in constant dialogue with a broad spectrum of contemplative nuns and served two terms as President of The Association of Contemplative Sisters. As a author, her interest is to offer a contemporary understanding of the presence of God in human life with a focus on the interface between psychological and spiritual realities. A number of her audio tapes on spirituality have been published by Alba House and she has also contributed articles to Spiritual Life, Review for Religious, Mystics Quarterly, Living Prayer, Anima, and The Way.

According to the best masters of spirituality, a solid foundation of holiness is to give oneself to God in such a way that His good pleasure becomes one's joy. Therese of Lisieux had this magnificent obsession: to see God happy. As she lay dying in September 1897, at the age of 24, she claimed that all her actions had been performed with this single aim. "Making God Happy" is Therese's program for holiness. This is the goal that she, even today, sets before the multitude of "little souls" whom she hopes to carry along her "little way" to heaven. Susan Leslie is a contemplative nun and lives in Oxford.

The Catholic Sanctuary And the Second Vatican Council
The Catholic Sanctuary And the Second Vatican Council by Michael Davies.
In this very important little pocket booklet, Michael Davies sets forth the amazing thesis that Vatican II and the Post Vatican II legislation did not mandate any changes in the Catholic sanctuary: that is, they did not mandate moving the Tabernacle from the central point in the altar, nor placing a chair in the middle of the sanctuary - or even Mass facing the people. Filled with quotes from the relevant passages of the actual Church documents, this valuable little handbook is a wonderful aid for those trying to educate, discuss and fight a modernist updated sanctuary in a parish Church. Michael Davies also shows the striking similarity between the Protestant "Reformer's" destruction of altars in the 16th century and today's destruction of altars and sanctuaries by modernist reformers. This booklet is a best seller and an eye opener to un sanctioned changes in the structure of the sanctuary.

Source and Summit: Six Great Spiritual Guides Talk About the Eucharist

Source and Summit:, Six Great Spiritual Guides Talk About the Eucharist by Joel Giallanza, CSC.
The Second Vatican Council speaks of the Eucharist as "the source and summit of the Christian life" (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, 11). The significance of this succint description is two-fold. First, it articulates the primary role of the Eucharist for uniting and nourishing the Christian community; and second, the Eucharist is also the source and summit of our individual lives as Christians. Our teachers and guides for these insightful reflections on this great mystery of our faith are six great saints, each of whom has been declared a Doctor of the Church. The six whom we meet in this book, three women and three men, are: Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint John of the Crosss, Saint Francis de Sales, Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. May we learn from their wisdom and their example so that our own daily life and work will reflect the fact that Jesus alone is the source and summit of all that we are and of all that we hope to become.

Calvary and the Mass - Sheen

Calvary and the Mass, by Fulton J. Sheen.
Bishop Sheen's reflections on what is now known as the -- is one of his most dynamic and eloquent books. It is a vivid, inspiring explanation of the true meaning of the Mass, an explanation that is filled with wisdom and beauty. Leading us through the several phases of the celebration of the Mass, Sheen shows us its relationship to Christ's Crucifixion on Golgotha. He points out how the seven parts of the Sacred Ceremony are based upon the Lord's seven last words from the Cross. Under Bishop Sheen's brilliant guidance, we see the Mass in its true light, as the crowning act of Christian worship. It is the commemoration, the reenactment, the perpetuation of the Divine Sacrifice. In Calvary and the Mass Bishop Sheen not only gives a clearer, fuller meaning to the celebration, but also reveals a pattern of faith by which we may direct our lives to a higher fulfillment, embracing the example set by Christ in His self-sacrifice.

A Call to a Deeper Love

A Call to a Deeper Love, The Family Correspondence of the Parents of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus by Blessed Zelie & Louis Martin.
The 218 letters of Zelie and the 16 letters of Louis Martin reproduced in these pages provide us with a treasury of rich insights into the lives and spirituality of these two individuals who were Beatified by the Church on October 19, 2008 at the Basilica of St. Therese in Lisieux, France. We are given here a series of snapshots revealing the tone and texture of the lives of these two saintly, and in many ways, very ordinary people. The incidents described in these pages give us access to the honesty and intimacy of the lives of the parents of St. Therese never meant for the general public. They greatly enrich our understanding of this charismatic couple who radiated holiness and brought to life the greatest saint of the modern age. They underscore the fact that sainthood is a family project of parents and children immersed in the God of love. They call us to a deeper love for God, for each other and for the poor in our midst and invite us to accept whatever the will of God may be for us in our lives, however confusing and painful that may be, and to have total trust and confidence in Him. The anguish of losing four of their nine children, the economic reverses that threatened their businesses, Zelie's losing battle with breast cancer and the Alzheimer's disease suffered by Louis are all brought vividly to light in these letters as is the undying love of this model couple for one another. As St. Therese wrote: "God has given me a father and mother more worthy of heaven than of earth." The present volume has been invaluably enhanced by Dr. Fran Renda through a large number of expanded footnotes and other introductory material explaining the background, the times and the customs that prevailed in France during the years in which these letters were written. Guy Gaucher, Auxiliary Bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux and the Sisters of Lisieux are responsible for the preface, the notes and the overall presentation of the text which has been flawlessly translated into English by Ann C. Hess. Two 16-page color sections replete with hither-to-now unseen photographs of the family from this time (1863-1885) make this work an invaluable treasure for the afficionados of St. Therese and her parents.

The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent

The Council of Trent, held in the sixteenth century, was one of the Church's most important Ecumenical Councils. It was presided over by Popes Paul III, Julius III, and Pius IV. The Council played a major role in the Counter-Reformation against Martin Luther's principles and was itself a significant reform conference. Its main objectives were to condemn the doctrines of Protestantism, effect a reformation in the Church's discipline, make known the fact that the Church's interpretation of Scripture is final, and define the relationship of faith and works in relation to salvation. Also an important point of discussion was the Real Presence and sacrificial nature of the Eucharist. The Council of Trent convened in 1545 and ended in 1563 which spanned the pontificates of five popes. Fr Schroeder's translation demonstrates the authority and clarity with which the Church makes her official pronouncements.

According to Scripture, The Church, & St. Thomas Aquinas By John Salsa How can an all loving God predestine some to eternal salvation while permitting others to fall away? Doesn't God offer the same amount of saving grace to everyone? Isn't predestination a Protestant doctrine? In The Mystery of Predestination, apologist and best-selling author John Salza (Why Catholic Cannot Be Masons) draws on Scripture, Tradition, and St. Thomas Aquinas' writings to uncover the fact that a proper Catholic understanding of predestination is interconnected with two other central mysteries: mankind's ability to choose freely to accept or reject God's saving Grace, and mankind's inability to accept that grace without first being moved by God from within. God is the primary mover in salvation - it is He who chooses, seeks, and saves us. God may predestine His "elect" to heaven but never wills that anyone go to hell. The Mystery of Predestination contains meticulously researched and clearly written answers for the serious Catholic who is confused by the Bible verses or Magisterial statements in favor of predestination, or who wants to defend Catholic truth against Calvinist error.

Roses and Thorns

By Concepción Cabrera de Armida (Conchita) Mary's maternal tenderness for each believer (then and now) is apparent at every moment in this little gem of a book. The "thorns" or sorrows of the Blessed Mother are an expression of this tenderness. She invites us to receive the "roses" for our consolation and surrender, keeping the "thorns" for herself, so that we might discover her motherly love and might keep her company as she reflects on her separation from Jesus following the Ascension. Conchita has Mary say, "The sorrows were all for me, but the precious fruit derived from them - for you." As you read this book, you feel invited to live in union with Mary, so that, with her help and by her example, you can better grasp the love and sentiments of the Lord. "Roses and Thorns will be a classic Marian devotion, as The True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin of St. Louis Grignion de Montfort and The Glories of Mary of St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori already are." Msgr. Juan Esquerda Bifet, Professor, Urbaniana Pontifical University, Rome, Italy. Venerable Concepción Cabrera de Armida, better known as Conchita, was born in San Luis Potosi on December 8, 1862 and died in Mexico, D.F. on March 3, 1937. Wife, mother, foundress and lay apostle, the cause for her beatification is well under way today.

Carmel, Land of the Soul

By Carolyn Humphreys, OCDS, OTR "May I know You; May I know myself." St. Augustine's cry of the heart so long ago, is an insightful summing up of the goal of everyone's spiritual journey. It is of special interest to Carmelites. Their approach to God through self-knowledge and contemplative prayer has typified the Order throughout the centuries. It has gathered momentum with the passing of years, until contemplative prayer is almost synonymous with the Carmelite charism. In this work the author, a Secular Carmelite, offers guidelines and admonitions for our spiritual journey. Her effort is manifestly the fruit of deep personal experience in prayer. The book is full of wise observations and counsels, and will surely be of great help to all those who have set their feet resolutely on the way to God. It will help them persevere in their pilgrimage until, as the Carmelite liturgy puts it: "They come to the Holy Mountain, Christ the Lord" -- the goal of all our contemplative strivings. PB, 196 pg

Devotion to the Sacred Heart

Compiled by Mary Frances Lester Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a powerful little booklet filled with many of the treasures to be found in the veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Besides containing an explanation of the symbolism found within the Image of the Sacred Heart, it also includes explanations of the 9 First Fridays devotion, known as The Great Promise, the miraculous cure of St. Gemma Galgani as well as many profound exhortations to offer reparation to the Sacred Heart. Authoritative and moving, Our Lord instituted this devotion Himself, saying: " I set neither limit nore measure to My gifts of grace for those who seek them in My heart." In our age of religious indifference, when fervor and charity have grown cold, Jesus exhibits to the world His Sacred Heart as the symbol of God s infinite love showing His Divine Heart as a furnace whose burning rays of love are able to reanimate faith and rekindle love in hearts grown cold and ungrateful. PB booklet, 65 pg

Love is Stronger than Death

In one of his most penetrating books, Peter Kreeft panders, as a Christian philosopher, the meaning of a terminal illness we all have: death. How we approach death, feel about death, cope with death, and actually die depends on how we answer the question of whar death is. As Kreeft states, "Life is either totally meaningless or totally meaningful, depending on what death is." "...the meaning of our existence, and of death, is the fulfillment of our deepest and purest desire: the desire for the infinite joy and love of God." Hard Cover, Ignatius Press, 121 pg

The Blessed Eucharist Our Greatest Treasure By: Rev. Fr. Michael Mueller C.SS.R Father Michael Mueller describes how Christ's love for us moved Him to create this most beautiful Sacrament.

Mueller helps the reader discover what a treasure the Sacrament is, sharing countless compelling accounts of miracles involving the Eucharist, quotations from Scripture and the Saints reflecting the virtues that can be obtained from Communion worthily received and the consequences of an unworthy reception of Our Lord. He instructs the reader on how to best prepare for receiving the Sacrament, and how to properly offer thanksgiving afterwards. "The Blessed Eucharist" awakens a deeper awareness of the incredible gift that God has given us in His Presence in the Eucharist.

The Cure D'Ars

St. Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney By Abbe Franois Trochu Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney (8 May 1786 - 4 August 1859) was born on the eve of the Frence Revolution and grew up in an age of failing faith and social upheaval. Already a late vocation with little formal schooling or academic aptitude, he was ordained in 1815 and appointed parish priest of the village of Ars, near Lyon. He was by no means dull, and his lack of intellectual prowess was more than compensated for by his steadfast faith, unwavering pursuit of holiness and heroic commitment to the duties and demands of his priestly office. Only 70 years after his death he was named the "Patron Saint of Parish Priests." In this definitive biography of St. Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney, Abbe Truchu has compiled the many extraordinary facts surrounding the life and vocation of the Cure of Ars. Shying away from popular legend and basing his book largely on the records and documents used by the Church in the official Process of Beatification and Canonization, Trochu presents an inspiring journey into the life of the Cure that is at once marvelous and authentic. As no one else, the author gives readers a vivid and accurate picture of this loving and generous saint, remarkable for his burning desire to make God's goodness known to a world that had hardened itself against Him - A God who said He was "quicker to forgive than a mother to snatch her child from the fire."

The Wilderness of God

The Wilderness of God by Andrew Louth From the Desert Fathers to T.S. Eliot, the desert has occupied a special place in the Christian tradition. This book is a classic exploration of desert spirituality by one of Europe's most distinguished theologians, shwing that the desert can be experienced as a place of real inspiration as well as of torture and desolation. Beginning with Charles de Foucauld, Andrew Louth describes has the appeal of the desert was embraced by a variety of figures such as Julian of Norwich and St. John of the Cross, and has persisted to the present day. The wilderness emerges as a tradition that goes to the very limits of what is humanly possible, and there 'somewhere on the other side of despair' discerns 'the city that has foundations whose builder and maker is God.'

The Judas Syndrome

Seven Ancient Heresies Return to Betray Christ Anew By: Thomas Colyandro Throughout two millennia of Christian history, the great heresies have tried to destroy the Faith by perverting the truths that Christ taught the apostles. Beginning in Jesus' own time with the betrayal of the arch-heretic Judas, and continuing through the centuries, waves of error have threatened to swamp the Church, only to break and be dashed upon the Rock of Peter. However, though they may be defeated for a time by saints, popes, councils, and even force of arms as long as sin and error remains in our fallen world these heresies can never be truly vanquished. This condition is the Judas Syndrome; it betrayed Christ unto death, and it afflicts His Church and the world unto this day. In these pages, author Tom Colyandro investigates seven of the most harmful, most seductive, heresies in Church history, and reveals that they are indeed with us once more.
