Led By The Immaculata
$17.95Add to cartSt. Maximilian Kolbe is one of the most well-known and well-loved saints of all time. Many are familiar with the story of his selfless act at Auschwitz, where he sacrificed his own life to save a man who was a husband and father. But do you know about Kolbe’s deep love for Mary, whom he called the Immaculata? How he surrendered everything to Our Lady to grow in holiness and align his will to the will of God? How he consecrated his life to Mary?
In Led by the Immaculata, Joshua Mazrin, a Kolbe devotee and Mariology expert, will:
*introduce you to St. Maximilian Kolbe,
*explain the meaning of consecration and the objectives of the Knights of the Immaculata,
*walk you through the fourteen doable and practical steps of the consecration, and
*provide a step-by-step plan for completing the consecration.Kolbe taught that by giving our lives completely to Mary, the Immaculata, she would direct our will to the will of the Holy Spirit–that is, the will of God. Kolbe wanted this message shared far and wide and so founded the Knights of the Immaculata with the goal of consecrating as many people as possible to Mary and her son.
Each step of the consecration journey is explained in practical and theological terms, making it accessible to all, regardless of vocation or age. While Kolbe initially targeted men, the principles of holiness are equally relevant to women. The book concludes by empowering you–men and women alike–to be evangelists for the Immaculata and the Gospel and to be spiritual leaders in your family, workplace, and community.
Led by the Immaculata invites you to embrace a deeper devotion to Mary and emulate Kolbe’s path to holiness through the practical application of the fourteen steps in your daily life.

C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity is renowned for its powerful, rational defense of the Christian faith, exploring foundational truths that have guided seekers for generations.

Lewis’s Mere Christianity, theologian and popular Benedictine College professor Andrew Swafford brings fresh insight to Lewis’s work, making it even more engaging and relevant for today’s readers.

*Are there compelling reasons to believe?
*Does Catholicism best explain my experiences?
*Can faith truly transform my life?

With clarity, depth, and intellectual rigor, Swafford helps you see faith through a transformative new lens–one that respects reason while nurturing belief.

My Daily Life Pocket Edition
$14.95Add to cartMy Daily Life is the follow-up title, and natural complement to Father Paone’s indispensible My Daily Bread.

This powerful little volume will help you navigate a world that is “no paradise, neither…an utter hell.” My Daily Life offers sound advice on a host of daily struggles, including:
* How to strive for earthly fulfillment within the bounds of reason, reality, and morality (p. 12)
* How to overcome our insecurity in a world that we cannot control (p. 59)
* How to achieve self-possession by controlling undue anger (p. 87)
* How to face life with a realistic outlook and avoid being overly emotional (p. 122)
* How the theological virtue of hope can benefit us in our earthly goals as well (p .273)
* And much more…Father Paone presents the readings in “bite-sized” portions that make it easy to maintain a daily devotional schedule. This convenient, palm-sized book is overflowing with common sense, compassion, and holiness. The passages in the book will help transform belief into realization, and theory into practice. My Daily Life is an essential and relatively unknown part of the canon of great Catholic literature.
My Daily Life is a practical guide that will help you to persevere in the holy resolutions which you make at the time of confession, Holy Communion, missions, retreats, or any moment of grace.

My Way Of Life Pocket Edition
$14.95Add to cartThe Summa simplified for everyone.
Saint Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica is one of the most influential and significant works in the history of the world, but because of its’ breadth and scope it is generally considered to be almost inaccessible to most readers. Until now.

Our Lady Undoer Of Knots
$15.95Add to cartOur Lady, Undoer of Knots: A Living Novena is a unique guided meditation from veteran Catholic journalist Marge Fenelon, who has created a new devotional practice from this classic novena that is a favorite of Pope Francis.
Since the seventeenth century, Catholics facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles have turned to Our Lady, Undoer of Knots through a special novena–nine days of prayer for divine intervention. Catholic columnist Marge Fenelon resurrects this ancient tradition, also known as the Unfailing Novena, by reflecting on nine sacred sites associated with Pope Francis’s 2014 pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Reflecting on such holy places as Bethlehem, the Mount of Olives, and the Temple Mount, Fenelon helps readers explore the “knots” or impossible situations in their own lives in order to find peace.

Stories About Purgatory And What They Reveal
$16.95Add to cartArranged as 30 DAYS FOR THE HOLY SOULS, this book was written to engrave on the minds and hearts of its readers an indelible understanding about Purgatory – first, that it exists; second, that the souls detained there suffer long and excruciating pains, just like those of Hell, except that they eventually end; third, that the Poor Souls desperately need our prayers, suffrages and Mass intentions; and fourth, that while we are still living, we ourselves should strive mightily to avoid Purgatory. Hardly anyone is truly perfect; therefore, most people who save their souls will probably be detained in Purgatory. Enlightening and encouraging, but very sobering!

Theology In Practice
$18.95Add to cartWhat is theology? It is nothing more, or less, than the study of God. All who pray are, in a sense, theologians. All who believe in Christ are called not only to sanctity, but to theology. “Be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom 12:2).
Yet the field of theology, as taught in universities, can sometimes look like a distant abstraction, reserved for an intellectual elite. This cannot be not the case. To prove it, Cistercian Fathers Roch Kereszty and Denis Farkasfalvy of the University of Dallas, both veteran spiritual directors, bring us Theology in Practice: A Beginner’s Guide to the Spiritual Life.
Guiding readers from the first inklings of God’s presence, to the fire of married love, to the miracle of the Eucharist, and even to the hour of death, this book completes the circuit between theological study and human experience. Never before has the Church believed as strongly as she does today that spirituality must, like leaven, penetrate and transform the ordinary, “average” walks of life. It ought not be limited to those who withdraw from the world.
This unique work, written by two longtime friends and brothers in religious life, draws on the riches of the Cistercian founder Saint Bernard of Clairvaux–and with him the whole tradition of the Church Fathers–to communicate Christ’s peace to hearts and minds.

Thomas Aquinas : Spiritual Master
$24.95Add to cartThomas Aquinas is widely considered the greatest and most influential of Catholic theologians. Yet too often his insights into the nature of God and the meaning of life are seen as somehow cold, impersonal, and divorced from spirituality. In this award-winning book, Bishop Robert Barron shows how Aquinas’ profound understanding of the Christian mystical life animates and helps explain his writings on Jesus Christ, creation, God’s “strange” nature, and the human call to ecstasy. “When one interprets Thomas merely as a rationalist philosopher or theologian, one misses the burning heart of everything he wrote. Aquinas was a saint deeply in love with Jesus Christ, and the image of Christ pervades the entire edifice that is his philosophical, theological, and scriptural work. Above all, Thomas Aquinas was a consummate spiritual master, holding up the icon of the Word made flesh and inviting others into its transformative power.”
