Fruit Of Her Womb
$18.95Add to cartSt. Louis de Montfort inspired a spiritual revolution in teaching us about Marian consecration and giving us a thirty-three-day plan to prepare our souls for that big step in our relationship with Jesus. In these pages, Fr. Boniface Hicks guides you through this “retreat” to help you gain a deeper trust in and childlike dependence on our loving God.
“What this consecration teaches us is that we have a sweet, loving, perfect Mother who actually wants to live in this intense relationship with us,” Fr. Boniface reflects. “And so, if we accept Mary’s invitation to this relationship, we will find all the healing and happiness we have always longed for.”
You’ll spend the first twelve days emptying yourself of the spirit of the world, followed by a week focused on self-knowledge. You’ll then spend a week dedicated to knowledge of Mary before concluding the final week, centered on knowledge of Jesus.
Only ten minutes per day will produce spiritual renewal and wholehearted trust in Jesus through Mary. These short, personal chapters will show you how to:
*Allow the Blessed Mother to cherish you as a baby in her womb and rejoice in your dignity as a child of God
*Grow in patience, humility, and love (Our Lady makes it simple!)
*Deepen your faith and live out your baptismal call to holiness
*Close “escape routes” in your relationship with God and live in the freedom of total surrender
*Take refuge and receive consolation in Mary’s protective care
*Realize that sufferings and difficulty point to the hope and final victory that await you
Fr. Boniface provides practical tips on opening your heart to God’s grace and profoundly beautiful reflections that will lead your soul to intimate union with our Lord through our Lady. Each daily meditation includes a Scripture passage, related quotes from popes and saints, questions to guide you on your journey, and traditional prayers to prepare for Marian consecration.
This book affirms what St. Louis teaches us: that Mary’s womb is the best place to be formed perfectly into saints and into Christ Himself. By contemplating Jesus through Mary, the first tabernacle of the Lord, your love of the Holy Eucharist will become more fervent, and your heart will be inflamed as you pray the Rosary and reflect on the mysteries of her Son.

Genesis Of Gender
$17.95Add to cartThe question of gender–who we are as men and women–has never been more pressing, or more misunderstood.
Weaving personal experience with expert knowledge, Dr. Abigail Favale provides an in-depth yet accessible account of the gender paradigm: a framework for understanding reality and identity that has recently risen to prominence. Favale traces the genealogy of gender to its origins in feminism and postmodern thought, describing how gender has come to eclipse sex, and how that shift is reshaping language, law, medicine, sexuality, and our own self-perceptions.
With substance, clarity, and compassion, Favale teases out the hidden assumptions of the gender paradigm and exposes its effects. Yet this book is not merely an expose–it is also a powerful, moving articulation of a Christian understanding of reality: a holistic paradigm that proclaims the dignity of the body, the sacramental meaning of sexual difference, and the interconnectedness of all creation. The Genesis of Gender is a vital, timely resource for anyone seeking to better understand the gender paradigm–and how to live beyond it.

Gift Of Repentance
$11.95Add to cartRepentance is a gift-because coming to the realization of ourselves as sinners opens our hearts to the gospel. And while consciousness of our sins is uncomfortable, it is also a cause for hope. In those feelings of guilt, says popular Scripture commentator Kevin Perrotta, God is calling us to return to him. The first three sessions of this Bible study are designed to spur readers to reflect on their own experience of recognizing their sins and taking action against them. The second three sessions focus on Jesus, who calls us to grow in love beyond anything that is easy or comfortable for us-and enables us to do it by nourishing us with himself.

God For Us Readers Edition
$21.99Add to cartGod For Us explores the meaning of Lent, its importance in spiritual formation, its significance in preparation for Easter, and the holy season of Easter itself.

Winner. By delving deeply into the Christian tradition they reveal what one theologian has called the “bright sadness” of Lent-that it is not about becoming lost in feelings of brokenness, but about cleansing the palate so that we can taste life more fully.

God Rich In Mercy
$4.00Add to cartGod Rich in Mercy (Eph 2:4) is the Pastoral Resource that will be used by Catholics who join Pope Francis in the second year of his initiative, “24 Hours for the Lord.” This title mirrors the theme that will guide reflection this year.
The purpose of this resource is to offer some suggestions that will enable parishes and Christian communities to prepare themselves to live the Pope’s initiative during the penitential season of Lent. These suggestions may be adapted to local needs and customs, as is appropriate. (Please click on Preview inside pages above to become more familiar with the content of this resource.)
For 24 hours on March 13-14, the faithful will be offered the opportunity for Confession and Eucharistic Adoration in parishes designated by Bishops in their respective dioceses. It is thought, as possible, the 24-hour period could conclude on Saturday evening with the Vigil Mass for the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
During this time, Pope Francis himself will preside at a penitential celebration at St. Peter’s Basilica in order to place the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the center of the Church’s mission of the new evangelizatio n.
Pope Francis on Confession
Throughout his Pontificate, the Holy Father has spoken frequently of the importance of mercy, forgiveness, and Confession. In a General Audience in November 2013, he said, “You turn red once, you’re absolved of your sins , and you move on.”At another General Audience in February 2014, he encouraged his flock: “Do not be afraid of Confession! … [W]hen one finishes Confession one leaves free , grand, beautiful, forgiven, candid, happy. This is the beauty of Confession! … Jesus is there, and Jesus is more benevolent than priests. Jesus receives you; He receives you with so much love. Be courageous and go to Confession!”

Gods Voice Within
$14.99Add to cartMany of us do not trust our own thoughts, feelings, and desires when it comes to discerning God’s will. Instead we look outside ourselves to determine what God wants from and for us. In God’s Voice Within, spiritual director Mark E. Thibodeaux, SJ, shows us how to use Ignatian discernment to access our own spiritual intuition and understand that the most trustworthy wisdom of all comes not from outside sources, but from God working through us.
God’s Voice Within is intended for people who know that there is more to the spiritual life than they are currently experiencing and are ready to take the next step in their walk of faith by making effective discernment-specifically Ignatian discernment-a daily practice.
Ultimately, God’s Voice Within teaches us to discern what is at the root of our actions and emotions, which in turn allows us to respond to God’s promptings inside us rather than unconsciously reacting to life around us.
