Contemplating The Seven Sorrows Of Mary
$17.95
The Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows is a special devotion that adds to our understanding and love for our Blessed Mother. In praying this chaplet, we bring consolation to the heart of Our Lady and at once open our hearts to share in the salvific mission of bringing souls closer to the heart of Christ. Intercessory prayer is that powerful. God does not need our prayers to act. Still, He chooses to use our prayers to act. We don’t change God’s mind when we pray, but bring to fruition what is in the mind and heart of God. And we can be assured, holiness is in the mind and heart of God for every soul! Over the past two centuries, in Private Revelation, Mary has repeatedly expressed her sorrow at the sin in the world and how our sin wounds her heart and that of her Son, our Lord. We need to start taking stock of our sins and be ever-present about how we can save souls for Jesus Christ. The Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary is a tool in God’s battle plan to do just that!
The Seven Sorrows Chaplet is not a replacement for praying the rosary, but rather a specific devotion directed to better understanding Mary’s sorrowful journey and, in turn, the call to ponder what each suffering teaches us about our relationship with God. The more time we spend with Mary, the more insight we receive about our griefs and sorrows. Praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary Chaplet is to enter the classroom of Mary and learn how to make sense of what is often interpreted as senseless.

Psalms 73-150 : New Collegeville Bible Commentary
$14.95Add to cartThe book of Psalms plays a significant role in the public and private prayer of both the Jewish and Christian communities today, helping to shape the minds and hearts of modern believers.
In two commentaries, one covering Psalms 1-72 and the other Psalms 73-150, Dianne Bergant examines the theological and historical circumstances from which the psalms originated. She reveals how the psalms were intended for instruction as well as prayer, and helps us experience their lyrical nature. In a fresh encounter with these poems of lament, hymns of praise, and prayers of thanksgiving, readers gain a new appreciation for these ancient texts, remembering that God-who dwells with us still-is “gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy” (Pss 145:8; 103:8).

Inner Voice Of Love
$15.00Add to cartThis is Henri Nouwen’s “secret journal.” It was written during the most difficult period of his life, when he suddenly lost his self-esteem, his energy to live and work, his sense of being loved, even his hope in God. Although he experienced excruciating anguish and despair, he was still able to keep a journal in which he wrote each day a spiritual imperative to himself, which emerged from his conversations with friends and supporters.
For more than eight years, Nouwen felt that what he wrote was too raw and private to share with others. Instead he published ‘The Return of the Prodigal Son,’ in which he expressed some of the insights gained during his mental and spiritual crisis. But then friends asked him, “Why keep your anguish hidden from the many people who have been nurtured by your writing? Wouldn’t it be of consolation for many to know about the fierce inner battle that lies underneath so many of your spiritual insights?”
For the countless men and women who have to live through the pain of broken relationships or who suffer from the loss of a loved one, ‘The Inner Voice of Love’ offers new courage, new hope, even new life.
