Jesus, I Surrender Myself to You is both a moving spiritual biography and a profound witness to the transforming power of surrender to God&rsquo;s will. Drawing from the living memory of Don Dolindo Ruotolo through the testimony of his devoted niece Grazia, alongside the careful research of Luciano Regolo, this work reveals the hidden sanctity of a priest whose life became a continual offering to Christ.
From a childhood marked by poverty, suffering, and misunderstanding to years of ecclesial persecution endured in silence, Don Dolindo&rsquo;s life was forged through obedience, humility, and radical trust in Divine Providence. Though burdened with immense trials, he developed an astonishing intimacy with Christ, becoming a spiritual father whose simple prayer of surrender continues to bring peace and consolation to countless souls around the world.
Interwoven with firsthand accounts, Marian devotion, Eucharistic spirituality, and extraordinary graces, this book offers readers not merely the story of a mystic, but a practical path toward holiness. Don Dolindo demonstrates that true sanctity is not found in comfort or recognition, but in abandoning oneself completely into the loving hands of God.

A Novena of Holy Communions

Michael Davies shows how Fr. Annibale Bugnini--before his dismissal by Pope Paul VI under suspicion of being a Freemason--was able to "reform" the Catholic Mass into the constantly evolving liturgy. Quoting Bishops and Cardinals as well as liberal "experts" and Protestant observers, he exposes the "time bombs" which were built into the Second Vatican Council's document on the liturgy by a few revolutionaries in order to be exploited later--and which have been detonating ever since.

Liturgical Time Bombs in Vatican II

Charity as Divine Friendship explores and explains St. Thomass curious description of charity as a ;kind of friendship of man for God.; Fr. Matthew Kauth achieves this in two symphonic movements: 1) An investigation into the metaphysical substructure of friendship; 2) Analysis of St. Thomass commentary on St. Johns Gospel, from which he takes his understanding of charity as friendship. In the first part, Fr. Kauth defines basic concepts that the Angelic Doctor employs ubiquitously whenever he discusses love and friendship. Once he has built the lexicon, Fr. Kauth distinguishes diverse kinds of love given St. Thomas's anthropology. He then covers the specific love of friendship, noting also Thomass dependence upon the Philosopher, Aristotle. Finally, Fr. Kauth examines charity itself, based primarily upon Thomass treatment in the Secunda secundae of the Summa Theologiae.The second movement of the work engages the text of Thomass commentary. Aquinas sees the Incarnation as the archetype of all transformation in Christ, namely, that Christ establishes with man a common life upon which friendship is based. This common life must move from the sensible to the spiritual, from human life to Divine. Fr. Kauth tracaks this course, with special emphasis on the means employed by Christ now with His would-be friends: namely, the gift of His Spirit and the Sacrament of Charity.

Year 2, Day 256: Volume 3, Book 6, Chapter 21, Paragraphs 650-656

The Incarnation stands at the center of human history. We judge time based on this event. There is the time before Christ and after Christ. In The Incarnation, Birth, and Infancy of Jesus Christ, Saint Alphonsus Liguori takes the mind and heart on a grace-filled journey through these three divine mysteries. Through discourses and meditations, he gives the reader rich theology to feed the mind and simple, powerful wisdom to lead the soul to a child-like faith in the God who became a child for our salvation.His discourses will guide you through the humility of God and how the Eternal Word being great became little, being Lord became a servant, being innocent became as it were guilty, being strong became weak, and much more. The incarnation, birth, and infancy of Jesus Christ are inexhaustible mysteries that deserve our meditation and prayerful attention. Our Lord becomes vulnerable to a ruthless world and is placed in the care of the Holy Family. In a similar manner, Our Lord becomes vulnerable in the Eucharist and places Himself into our care to either be loved or rejected.Saint Alphonsus takes the reader deeper into the divine mystery of who Jesus Christ is and provides meditations for everyday during Advent, the Novena of Christmas, the Octave of Christmas, Epiphany, and the Octave of Epiphany, as well. His meditations are filled with illustrative wisdom about the smallest details of Our Lords early life. He writes of the poverty of Our Lord, the goodness and love of God expressed in the Incarnation, the restoration of life through the sending of the Son, Christ as the fountain of grace, physician of souls, and so much more. These meditations are the perfect material for a fruitful Advent Season, and his insights can be visited again throughout the year for your spiritual benefit.

In each chapter, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski addresses common objections to the TLM, transforming these challenges into gateways for a deeper understanding and appreciation of its timeless beauty. From the reasons we worship facing East, to the profound significance of praying in Latin, and the ritual separation of priest and people, Turned Around sheds light on why these liturgical elements resonate so deeply with the faithful.
Various other topics will be explored within these pages, including:
<ul>
<li>
Why the Traditional Mass Is Kingly and Courtly&nbsp;
</li>
<li>
Why We Follow Inherited Rituals and Strict Rubrics&nbsp;
</li>
<li>
Why We Repeat Ourselves in Traditional Worship&nbsp;
</li>
<li>
Why We Use a One-Year Lectionary of Readings
</li>
<li>
Why it Is Better Not to Understand Everything Immediately&nbsp;

Why We Kneel for Communion and Receive on the Tongue&nbsp;
</li>
</ul>

This book is not just a defense of tradition; it is a journey to the heart of Catholic worship, promising to deepen the reader's spiritual life and understanding of the Mass. Whether you're a skeptic or a devout follower, Turned Around offers a compelling case for the enduring relevance and beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass.
