In Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life St. Francis de Sales, beloved Doctor of the Church, gives us treasured insight from the master of spiritual direction. How can the soul persevere in piety in the midst of affliction? How should we conduct ourselves when suffering interior trials? How can we profit from our own faults? St. Francis de Sales explains all this and more. In this masterful collection, St. Francis speaks to every soul on the riches to be gained from suffering trials and temptations, the advantages we can draw from our own defects, and how to choose and carry the best crosses. Also included are uplifting passages on suffering sadness, or what we would now call depression. Readers of Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life will experience firsthand why St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) is known to history as the Gentle Saint. St. Francis was Bishop of Geneva and a tireless preacher, who yet made time to correspond with numerous souls who wrote him for his insight and guidance. His Consoling Thoughts are compiled from these letters as well as from his other spiritual works.

Day 272: Volume 3, Book 6, Chapter 29, Paragraphs 798-809

From the creation of man to the current ecclesial infiltration and world revolution, the devil and his minions have sought to destroy the human race made in the image of God. No longer attacking from without, they are now secretly laying siege from within the Holy Roman Catholic Church. But why is God allowing this? He loves to see souls heroically battle for the faith.In the nineteenth century, Venerable Leo Dupont said that Communists would one day enslave the world—that is, ;close up their churches, and make them slaves of the state . . . unless reparation is done, unless men come before the Face of their Saviour to ask His forgiveness and His help!;In this powerful book, Father Carney reveals the essence and history of the Holy Face Devotion, its apostles, and how to save society and the Church from her foes.;Reparation is destined to save society,; said Blessed Pope Pius IX.

Homer's The Odyssey

The Sexual Revolution and the breakdown of the Family have brought misery to billions. In The Sexual State Jennifer Roback Morse shows that the Sexual Revolution did not just ;happen; like a force of nature. Rather, it was deliberately created by ;elites,; harnessing the power of the State, allowing them to inflict three false and calamitous ideologies—contraception, divorce, and gender ideology—that have led to widespread and profound unhappiness and worse.The ideas of the Sexual Revolution did not emerge from the lived experiences of ordinary people; the government has been imposing the morality of an out-of-touch elite class on the rest of us for decades.The Sexual State turns the now conventional "wisdom" on its head to reveal how:The Sexual Revolution is and always has been a creation of the StateSocial issues are unified and can be understood as the outgrowth of a few simple (but gravely flawed) principlesChildren have identity and relational rights with respect to their parents; the Sexual State denies children these rightsSocially conservative ideas and traditional Catholic morality are getting clobbered. And the dirty secret that no one wants to acknowledge (until now!) is that the progressive social elites have rigged the system. Most people dont love abortion, or divorce, or single-parent families! Thankfully, Dr. Morse (and the Catholic Church) has the answer. It is vital that those who would change the culture understand how we got here; otherwise, the countering tactics will remain important. In this masterful take-down of the Sexual Revolution and its promoters, Morse calls for a widespread adherence to the principles of the Church. Only then will our society recover from the misrule of ;the elites; and the ;managerial class.;

The Sexual State

St. Alphonsus Liguori, the Prince of Moral Theologians, was one of the greatest preachers in Church history. A religious founder, consummate theologian, and holy man of God, Saint Alphonsus never fails to utter a stirring word that draws out a lively penitence and redoubled dedication to the work of God from his audience. He was also a great mariologist and a devout son of Our Lady (his congregation eventually gained custody of the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help). Hear from one of Our Lady's all-time greatest apostles and one of the greatest writers and Doctors of the Church in The Blessed Virgin Mary.In this work, excerpted from his larger Glories of Mary (also available from TAN), St. Alphonsus zealously and profoundly illuminates the meaning of Mary as Our Queen, Our Mother, Our Sweetness, and Our Hope. "Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaketh," and St. Alphonsus's heart was only filled to the brim with genuine desire for innocence and purity of heart in all his spiritual children, most especially through devotion to the Blessed Mother. Writing to defend her against impious attacks and diminishments of Marian devotion, St. Alphonsus shows that devotion to Our Lady is a most certain mark of eternal salvation. His words gives profound encouragement and firm hope for eternal victory through Mary; the Mother of God—who can obtain from her Divine Son anything she asks.Though relatively brief, The Blessed Virgin Mary exudes that holy erudition of St. Alphonsus that stirs so deeply the heart of Catholics as to make it seem a much longer treatise. Seldom in life will you find a book of such saintly unction as this—or one that will leave such a profound and lasting effect.

The Blessed Virgin Mary

Fr. Edward Looney reads from chapter 5 of book 5 and then comments on the devotion of the apostles to Our Lady, her prayers for the early Church, and the titles they used to honor her. &nbsp;

The Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate is one of Padre Pios few published writings, penned before he was forbidden by the Church to publish or to engage in correspondence—this for fear a cult would arise around him.Here we encounter a profound spiritual penetration into the mystery of Marys unique and sublime role in our salvation. Though brief, it can be read over and over with great benefit since it is—just as the title suggests—both a meditation and a prayer on the meaning of Mary. This booklet also contains a brief sketch of Padre Pios life and numerous edifying pictures of this saintly stigmatist.

;Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, 'Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.'; (Luke 1:34-35).The beautiful and spiritually enriching practice of devotion to the Sorrowful Mother will be illuminated for you in this powerfully written, pocket-sized booklet.

Devotion to the Sorrowful Mother

A true treasure of spiritual insights, this little booklet contains the remarkable meditations on the Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, the stigmatist priest. One of his few writings, the booklet also includes many pictures of Padre Pio from throughout his ministry. Padre Pio's beautiful and descriptive manner of writing provide a wonderful spiritual insight into that last night of Jesus's human life that will prove fruitful for meditation and deeply moving to all.Excerpt: "Jesus has returned to His place of prayer, and another picture, more terrible than the first, presents itself to Him. All our sins with their entire ugliness parade before Him in every detail. He must clothe Himself with this entire unclean mass of human corruption and present Himself before the sanctity of His Father, to expiate everything with individual pains, to render Him all that glory of which they have robbed Him, to cleanse that human cesspool in which man wallows with contemptible indifference.And all this does not make Him retreat. As a raging sea this mass inundates Him, enfolds Him, oppresses Him. Behold Him before His Father the God of Justice, facing the full penalty of divine justice. He, the essence of purity, sanctity by nature, in contact with sin, indeed, as if He Himself had become a sinner! Who can fathom the disgust that He feels in His innermost spirit? The horror He feels? The nausea, the contempt He senses so vividly? And having taken all upon Himself, nothing excepted, He is crushed by this immense weight, oppressed, thrown down, prostrated. Exhausted, He groans beneath the weight of Divine Justice, before His Father, Who has permitted His Son to offer Himself as a Victim for sin, as one accursed."

Favorite Prayers to Our Lady

“What the Fathers of the Church taught withoutsystem and confusedly, this virgin, Teresa, hasreduced with such mastery and elegance to a body ofdoctrine.”&#160;—Pope St. Pius XSaint Teresa of Ávila, mystic, Carmelite reformer, and Doctor of the Church, is one of the greatest people to ever walk the face of the Earth—and even one of the greatest saints. Her position as a spiritual master is uncontested and, as her&#160;Way of Perfection&#160;will attest, her method of prayer was simple: through astounding sanctity and humility, as well as intensive recollection, we may approach God through meditation and come to know Him intimately. And He always rewards us more than we deserve.Born to a pious family in 1515, Teresa grew up fascinated with the faith. A popular anecdote from her youth tells of an impromptu escapade with her brother: they attempted to flee to Africa to be martyred by Moors, only to be brought back from the city walls by their uncle. Teresa later joined the Carmelites at 20, but found their practices to be lacking in austerity. She herself was zealous in mortification, and frequently exerted herself to the point of illness. Upon recovery after a particularly long convalescence, she began to experience religious ecstasies, which continued throughout her life. She experienced interior visions (i.e. without sensory manifestation) of Our Lord, levitations, and other graces, including the famous transverberation, where her heart was mystically pierced by a lance borne by a seraph. &#160;But Teresa's principle work in life was to reform the Carmelites; she traveled all about Spain establishing new convents and, with St. John of the Cross, men's monasteries. Throughout all of her reform work, her attitude was joyful, saintly, and profoundly charismatic.From this saintly life developed a method of prayer, a veritable method of growing in perfection, that includes such insights as this:<ul><li>Prayer must never be self-indulgent.</li><li>Only solitude and interior quietude are necessary for meditative prayer.</li><li>Vocal prayer is of extreme use and must be said humbly and attentively.</li><li>Meditation is necessary to grow in virtue.</li><li>Recollection of one's nothingness before prayer is essential.</li><li>Humility and perseverance are necessary for prayer.</li><li>And so much more . . .</li></ul>The Way of Perfection&#160;is an astounding work by an astounding saint, a highly detailed and immensely useful guide to approaching the Lord through higher and higher degrees of meditative prayer and contemplation, written by the queen among the saints of meditation, beyond compare in mystical wisdom. Let that wisdom pierce your heart too, through the words of these pages.

The Way of Perfection

In The Blessed Eucharist, Father Michael Mueller describes how Christ's love for us moved Him to create this most beautiful Sacrament. He explains why Our Lord veils Himself in the appearance of bread—a garment so humble He is little known, little loved, even neglected and insulted.Fr. Mueller helps the reader discover what a treasure the Sacrament is, sharing countless compelling accounts of miracles involving the Eucharist and quotations from Scripture and the Saints reflecting the virtues that can be obtained from Communion worthily received and the consequences of an unworthy reception of Our Lord. He instructs the reader on how to best prepare for receiving the Sacrament and how to properly offer thanksgiving afterwards.The Blessed Eucharistawakens a deeper awareness of the incredible gift that God has given us in His Presence in the Eucharist, allowing us to embrace all the wondrous fruits this Sacrament has to offer.
