Abide In My Word 2025
$17.46Add to cartEach time we gather for Mass, we respond to Jesus’ invitation to follow him and to allow him to transform us. We hear his voice in the word of God proclaimed, and we receive him in the Eucharist. Every day, the Church offers us the word of God in the daily Mass readings. Whether we are able to attend Mass or not, we can still pray with the Church.
This year’s cover of Abide in My Word presents a beautiful portrayal of the Virgin Hodegetria, which translates from Greek as “She who shows the way.” In this image, Mary points to Christ, the source of salvation for the world, and Jesus raises his hand in a sign of blessing. Pray with the thousands of Catholics who rely on Abide in My Word to nourish their hearts each day.

Sacred That Surrounds Us
$24.95Add to cartYou’ll Never See A Catholic Church The Same Way.
Did you know that everything about the confessional in a Catholic church, even its size, was designed in a highly specific way by St. Charles Borromeo to answer objections to the sacrament by the Reformation? Did you know there is both a theological and a practical reason why the credence table is placed where it is? Each item in a Catholic church is there to point to a larger truth. Every sacred vessel and item is packed with symbolism and meaning, aimed at making each visit to a Catholic church a powerful reminder of God s presence and the truths of our Faith.
The Sacred That Surrounds Us helps reveal Catholic churches as shrines of devotion. Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture are made tangible with this book, which explains with clarity the symbolism and history behind the sacred items we see in every Catholic church.
In ancient and medieval times, the faithful knew the meaning of all the sacred items in a church. Today’s Catholics can now re-discover the sacred that surrounds them in church. In modern churches, it can be difficult to realize the immense religious and cultural heritage we as Catholics are heirs to. It can be difficult to enter into the mysteries we are partaking in during the mass. But every Catholic church, from the small, modern parish to the ancient basilica, has similar sacred objects and vessels.
The Sacred That Surrounds Us helps Catholics make every visit to a Catholic church a pilgrimage of faith.
In The Sacred That Surrounds Us, Catholics read:
*At least one historical fact about the sacred item or church feature being discussed.
*At least one symbolic reality about the sacred item or church feature.
*A beautiful, high-resolution picture of the item or feature being discussed.
*A quote from the Church Fathers about this item, or a relevant quote from the Bible.
