Year 2, Day 100: Volume 2, Book 3, Chapter 6, Paragraphs 59-69

;Lea este librillo despacio y con atención, no una vez sino muchas veces, y dará gracias a Dios todo el resto de su vida.; (página xi)&iquest;Sabe usted qué tan poderoso es el Santo Nombre de Jesús?Con este librillo en mano, podrá rezar "sin cesar", pues aprenderá a ver los grandes dones que Dios concede a los que glorifican el Nombre de Su Hijo. En este librillo, el Padre Paul O'Sullivan explica que el Nombre de Jesús es mucho más poderoso que la mayoría de los Católicos conocen. Muestra con qué facilidad la repetición del nombre de Jesús puede:glorificar a Diospedir Su ayudapagar las deudas espiritualesayudar a las almas del Purgatorioobtener muchas graciasdefendernos del Diabloproveernos con una muerte felíz&iexcl;y mucho más!Dios siempre nos está ofreciendo Su gracia. Aprovechar la invocación del Santísimo Nombre de Su Hijo es una manera tradicional e importante de abrirse a Sus múltiples dones. Rezar con el Nombre de Jesús, explica el Padre O'Sullivan, es el secreto menos conocido para una vida felíz y santa."Por lo cual Dios también Le exaltó hasta lo sumo, y Le dio un Nombre que es sobre todo Nombre, para que en el Nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla de los que están en los cielos, y en la tierra, y debajo de la tierra; y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es el Señor, para gloria de Dios Padre."

Las Maravillas del Santo Nombre

"To move [the] Omnipotent Word to grant pardon and deliverance to the Suffering Souls in consideration of the suffrages of the faithful on earth—such is the object of the following treatises." —From the PrefaceIn this significant volume on the Catholic doctrine concerning Purgatory, Fr. John A. Nageleisen, a missionary priest of the Congregation of the Most Precious Blood, covers all aspects of the Church's tradition regarding the subject of those poor souls who have died in charity to God but were imperfect and so require purgation. While no one has definitively experienced the nature of Purgatory, tradition and theology have much to say on the subject, and none is left uncovered by Fr. Nageleisen. His treatment includes:The existence of Purgatory;The condition of the suffering souls in Purgatory;The means of relieving the suffering souls;The motives for helping the suffering souls;The gratitude of the suffering souls;The heroic act of charity for the suffering souls;And much more . . .Most of all, Fr. Nageleisen desires only that we should understand the extreme value and virtue of praying for the holy souls. While we ourselves should desire not to go to Purgatory and only to Heaven, those already experiencing the former need our prayers and sacrifices, since they have no ability of their own to gain merit in expiation of sin. To pray for these souls is a great act of mercy and charity, as Fr. Nageleisen recalls to us. Let this book serve a twofold purpose, then: first, that we should strive to avoid anything that would in this life separate us from meriting Heaven upon death, and second, that we should recall, even in all our prayers, the souls of the faithful departed, that they might finally rest in peace.Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them . . .

Tim and Conor sit down to discuss Conor’s popular book, Parenting for Eternity: A Guide to Raising Children in Holy Mother Church. They explore the essential question at the heart of Catholic parenting: How do we raise our children with eternity in mind?Together, they dive into key themes from the book, including the importance of creating a vision for parenting, the role of suffering in raising holy children, whether a deeper focus on eternity would lead to more or fewer kids, and why caring for both body and soul now is essential preparation for the life to come.They consider parenting through the lens of the Four Last Things—Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven—highlighting why Catholic parents must raise saints by preparing their children for their ultimate destiny. From teaching kids to think about death in a healthy way to the Church Fathers’ insights on death, the power of the Rosary, and the reality of Hell, this conversation is a wake-up call for parents to instill both the aversion to sin and the hope of Heaven in their children.

Parenting for Eternity: Death, Judgment, and Heaven or Hell? | Conor Gallagher

One of the most profoundly influential and deeply inspirational saints in the last five centuries of the Church, St. Francis de Sales is famous for his personality and writings, which have earned him, respectively, the appellation "The Gentleman Saint" and the designation Doctor of the Church. In this substantial and readable biography, Louise Stacpoole-Kenny exposes the life of this remarkable and holy bishop who lived in a region rife with Calvinist heresy during the time of the tumultuous birth of Protestantism.De Saless tempered and gentle yet firm and determined approach to spiritual direction made him a true pearl of great price in the Churchs spiritual patrimony. No one ever mastered the doctoring of souls quite like this gentle Doctor of the Church—as countless saints formed by his legacy will attest. His Marian devotion and dedication to educating the laity by means of modern communication (at that time, leaflets) placed him ahead of his time, and his erudition combined with his sweetness mark him as a highly unusual man in the story of the Church, particularly during his time.As a testimony to St. Francis's monolithic sanctity, when he was being considered for beatification, 5,000 witnesses testified to his life of heroic virtues and miracles. Even the Calvinist minister of Geneva said of St. Francis de Sales, "If we honored any man as a Saint, I know none more worthy than this man since the days of the Apostles." Let St. Francis de Sales: A Biography of the Gentle Saint ignite in you a grateful and intimate devotion to this saint of the people, as you lean deeper into the story of his most devout life.

Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary

The Baltimore Catechism formed generations of Catholics and provided a solid foundation in the faith for millions. In recent decades, it has enjoyed a renaissance among traditional-minded Catholics, yet few know that the Plenary Council which produced it, the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, also produced a manual of prayers (Imprimatur 1888).This present volume, based on the prayers in that manual, bears the newly-coined name Little Office of Baltimore. With its peculiarly and unmistakable American pedigree, coupled with the fact that it preceded the extensive changes to the Divine Office that occurred throughout the 20th century, it is sure to be welcomed by todays more traditional-minded English-speaking laity as well as those interested in historical Catholicism.It condenses the much larger edition of The Office of Baltimore into a beautiful, compact prayerbook to take with you throughout the day. Containing prayers for the traditional hours as well as the saints, the Blessed Mother, and Psalms for various occasions, this edition will quickly become your daily prayerbook. It is the perfect gift for someone who has just entered the Church or has received Confirmation.The Little Office of Baltimore especially appeals to todays more traditional-minded English-speaking laity and those interested in historical Catholicism.It retains a strong connection to the traditional Roman office which can be traced back, in its essentials, to Saint Benedict. Relying principally on the prayers found in the manual, when necessary the compiler supplemented with material gleaned from the English translation of the Roman breviary by the Marquis de Bute (Imprimatur 1903).The result is a beautiful new resource for those seeking to deepen their prayer lives or just a greater connection to Traditional American Catholicism.

The Life of Saint Dominic

She lived 24 years and was an obscure nun for nine of those. Yet she is known the world over by Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Dead in 1897 and was canonized in 1925, her statue soon appeared in most Catholic churches in the world. With St. Joan of Arc, she shares the title "Patroness of France" and with St. Francis Xavier the honor of "Principal Patroness of all Missionaries." Her devotees acknowledge her as a second St. Jude in her powerful intercession with God. Her appeal is universal—from peasants to popes—and people of all stations know her and call upon her for help.What factors conspired to shape St. Therese of the Child Jesus? John Beevers addresses this question in Saint Therese of the Little Flower: The Making of a Saint. As author of an earlier biography, The Storm of Glory, and as translator of her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, he brings to his task an authority on her life unsurpassed perhaps by any writer in English.The story of this life is a marvel—a miracle—of divine grace. For the life of St. Therese is the lesson to all men: one 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 the Little Flower: The Making of a Saint

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the pinnacle of Creation. She is the "tower of ivory" that is "hard to climb for human thoughts," the "depth undiscernible even for the eyes of angels"; she is the "mystic rose" and "Ark of the New Covenant"; she is our everything, Our Lady. Aside from devotion to the Lord Himself in the Most Holy Sacrament, devotion to Our Lady is the best and surest means of sanctification and salvation that we have. And consecration to the Blessed Mother is the most perfect means of devotion to her.St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary formalized the practice of consecrating one's whole self, with temporal and spiritual goods, to Our Lady. In this short booklet, Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr. Nicholas Norman shows Christians both why and how to do this according to a simple and practical method. Most of all, Fr. Norman shows why this practice is becoming more and more important in our times, and how devotion to Our Lady is an apocalyptic witness during the last stages of Christianity, according to Our Lady herself in her message at Fatima. Let this book guide you, then, on the way of true devotion and total consecration, so that we may say to Our Lady, "I am all yours, O Blessed Mother of God!"

Fr. Edward Looney reads chapter 20 of book 5 and then comments on the tactics of the evil one and the assistance of Jesus and Mary.

Year 2, Day 205: Volume 3, Book 5, Chapter 20, Paragraphs 222-230

Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.;Matthew 11:28-30Christs words ring true for this earthly life that we must endure in order to, hopefully, attain eternal rest with Him in heaven. Our fallen world is full of sufferings and struggles; from the everyday aggravations to the life-altering sorrows that we sometimes face. Yet, Christ assures us that His ;yoke is sweet and [His] burden light.; This is so because He always helps us carry our crosses throughout this life and because the ultimate battle is already won, thanks to Christs love for us. Yet we must remain vigilant.Saint John of Avila, the 34th Doctor of the Church, gave numerous sermons on this subject, in which he offers the consolation of Christs own example and that of saints, like St. Francis of Assisi. St. John never failed to instruct, edify, and challenge those who listened attentively to his sermons. Within these sermons, we too can find renewed strength as we embrace the redemptive suffering of this life and hope for the beatific vision in the next.Published for the first time in English, this carefully translated work of St. Johns selected sermons will be a great spiritual aid to any soul along his path to holiness.

My Burden Is Light: Suffering and Consolation in the Christian Life

The Passion of Jesus and Its Hidden Meaning shows how 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 a 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.

Authors Carrie Gress, Ph.D., and Noelle Mering respond to the modern disdain of homemakers in this inspiring book. Although there has been a resurgence in the desire to live simply and practice the domestic arts, the majority of people in the modern age view it as an unfulfilling and even oppressive way of life. Many women despair because they feel a sense of shame and futility in managing the world of their home in a culture that tries to erase the beauty of homemaking. Theology of Home: The Spiritual Art of Homemaking turns all misguided notions about homemaking on their heads, shining new light on the role of a homemaker. It will show you how homemaking is tied to the deepest truths of the Faith with an honest and fearless understanding of the modern world. Rather than looking for inspiration in the 1950s and in the many harmful stereotypes of women in that time, Gress and Mering forge a new path by looking at the precious and unique gifts women can offer to those they love.Filled with beautiful photography and interviews with inspiring women, The Spiritual Art of Homemaking examines:What makes someone a homemaker and how we can look at the role with fresh eyesHow the dots between our love for home and the role of caring for a home can be reconnectedHow we can reorient our purpose from caring only for ourselves to caring for others How to bear fruit in the various ways in which God calls usHow to foster the qualities that make us particularly adept and skillful at creating a homeThe nature of both physical and spiritual motherhoodHow our Mother, the Church, gifts us the means to fulfill the role of homemakerWhether you are single, married, a working mother, or stay-at-home mother, this book will be your greatest help in discovering how to bring beauty, order, and vibrancy to the people and place you love most: Home.

Every Catholic should be taught the Faith by the best books. Every Catholic should have a copy of the Catechism that will last them a lifetime. Every Catholic should have a copy of the Catechism of the Council of Trent. For, as Pope Leo XIII once said on this very book, ;This work is remarkable at once for the richness and exactness of its doctrine, and for the elegance of its style; it is a precious summary of all theology, both dogmatic and moral. He who understands it well will have always at his service those aids by which a priest is enabled to preach with fruit, to acquit himself worthily of the important ministry&hellip;of the direction of souls, and will be in a position to refute the objections of unbelievers.; This beautiful, embossed hardcover Catechism will last decades and become one of the most essential books on your shelf. The sturdy binding and attractive typesetting will help you to navigate and understand the most important truths of the Catholic Faith throughout your life. The Catechism of the Council of Trent, compiled under the supervision of St. Charles Borromeo and approved by Pope St. Pius V, has been recognized as the most authoritative catechism by many of the greatest popes, such as St. Pius X, Clement XIII, Benedict XV, Leo XIII, and many others. It has been used by clergy and laymen for over 400 years as a source of the clear and simple truths of the Faith.To ordinary people, to great theologians, to popes, and even to saints, this catechism has been a guide and companion—the Catechism of the Council of Trent will become your steady guide in the confusion of the modern age.
