Fr. Robert Nixon illuminates how Bonaventure serves as an example for all of us, from multitasking workaholics to devout but exhausted young families, to the spiritually slothful. Bonaventure – "good and fortunate journey" – lived a life of deep devotion and commitment to everything that he applied his talents toward. Consider how we today so often fail to give our "all" to our pursuits: faith, family, work, charity, and more.GET THE BOOK - USE COUPON CODE MASTERS25 FOR 25% OFF<ul><li>The Seven Last Words of Christ: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3SVPdXS">https://bit.ly/3SVPdXS</a></li></ul>For updates about new episodes, special guests, and exclusive deals for The Spiritual Masters listeners, sign up at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="http://spiritualmasterspodcast.com/">https://SpiritualMastersPodcast.com</a>.And for more great ways to deepen your faith, check out all the spiritual resources available at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="http://www.tanbooks.com/">https://TANBooks.com</a> and use Coupon Code MASTERS25 for 25% Off your next order.

19. The Confessions of St. Augustine: On the World's Creation

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

Here is a book that is a product of our rich Catholic heritage, one that is destined to instruct both our modern times and the future. Written with the traditional Latin Mass as its paradigm, it is nonetheless not actually about that Mass, but about the essence of the Mass in general—about any Eucharistic Divine Liturgy, in any rite—and thus it has a universal appeal and is for the whole world.This book should be owned personally by every Catholic 15 years of age or older and should be read and re-read until its insights are one's own—and thereafter every three to five years to refresh one's memory. The laity will gain tremendous instruction from this book, and even priests will discover their learning about the Mass renewed and their fervor in saying it increased.Everyone who reads The Incredible Catholic Mass will think of his Mass attendance in terms of before and after this book. For it confirms the understanding that the Mass is incomparably the greatest prayer—that it is offered to God, not just by the officiating priest, but also by Jesus Christ Himself—in homage, in praise, in thanksgiving, in reparation, in petition, for conversions, for the Poor Souls, for health, for the Church, for the country, for society . . . —in short, for whatever legitimate intention a person can have.The Incredible Catholic Mass is truly an incredible book about the most incredible reality in our midst: the Catholic Mass.

Saint 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, St. Alphonsus never failed to utter a stirring word that drew out a lively penitence and redoubled dedication to the work of God from his audience. Here, in The Holy Eucharist, is his extensive work on the Sacrifice that brings about Salvation. As a devoted preacher and teacher, Liguori sought to bring others to devotion and sanctity in the most Blessed Sacrament. He founded many centers for people to grow in their faith through preaching and the Sacraments, and as a bishop, he even suspended priests who celebrated the Mass in an undignified manner. In The Holy Eucharist, St. Alphonsus gives the reader not only a profound, biblical, and theological discourse, but also meditations to be used for deeper devotion and love for Christ present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. He spends considerable time on what exactly it means for the Christian to love Christ. Relating the Faith to the virtues, he shows in a masterful way the lex credendi, lex orandi of the Church. As if speaking to the modern reader, Liguori tackles issues related to the Eucharistic Devotion such as lukewarmness, pride and humility, charity in all things, and charity in suffering. Included in this masterwork are also novenas to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and meditations on the octave of Corpus Christi. In our devotion, we must follow the sage advice from Liguori, “We must therefore be of good courage, make strong resolutions, and begin. Prayer can do everything. What we cannot do by our own strength, we shall do easily with the help of God, who has promised to give us whatever we ask of him: You shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.” This book&#160;will no doubt enkindle in you the fire of the Holy Spirit to begin anew with Christ every day!
