30 Days with Saint Thérèse

“For the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.”How should we read and interpret Sacred Scripture? How can we discern truth from error, and wisdom from vain speculation? In On Christian Doctrine, Saint Augustine offers a masterful guide to understanding the Word of God, revealing how the graces of faith, hope, and love are absolute necessities for the discovery and right interpretation of Scripture.With clarity and insight, Augustine lays out the essential principles, covering language, signs, figurative expressions, and the proper relationship between faith and reason. He warns against errors that come from reading Scripture too literally or too loosely and teaches that all interpretation must ultimately lead to love—of God and neighbor.More than a theological treatise, On Christian Doctrine is a call to wisdom. It challenges the reader to seek not just knowledge, but true understanding, directing the soul toward God’s eternal truth.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a powerful little booklet filled with many of the treasures to be found in the veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Besides containing an explanation of the symbolism found within the Image of the Sacred Heart, it also includes explanations of the 9 First Fridays devotion, known as the Great Promise, and the miraculous cure of St. Gemma Galgani, as well as many profound exhortations to offer reparation to the Sacred Heart.Our Lord instituted this authoritative and moving devotion Himself, saying, "I set neither limit nor measure to My gifts of grace for those who seek them in My heart."In our age of religious indifference, when fervor and charity have grown cold, Jesus exhibits to the world His Sacred Heart as the symbol of God's infinite love showing His Divine Heart as a furnace whose burning rays of love are able to reanimate faith and rekindle love in hearts grown cold and ungrateful.

Benedict and the Rule

In Consoling Thoughts on Sickness and Death, St. Francis de Sales, the beloved Doctor of the Church, teaches how to grow closer to God through suffering well the most bitter trials.The bed of sickness is an altar of sacrifice, writes the saint in this treasure of spirituality. He explains what prayers are suitable for the sick, how to persevere in patience, and even how to overcome an excessive fear of death. Most importantly, St. Francis de Sales teaches about abandonment to God's will in both life and death, drawing from his memories of the deaths of his own mother and sister.Readers of Consoling Thoughts on Sickness and Death 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.

Consoling Thoughts on Sickness and Death

In St. Anselm of Canterbury's foundational theological work, Why God Became Man (Cur Deus Homo), delve into a profound and meticulously reasoned exploration of the Incarnation and Atonement. Written in the 11th century as a dialogue, Anselm addresses the fundamental question of why God, being omnipotent, chose to redeem humanity through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, rather than by a simple act of divine will. He masterfully articulates the satisfaction theory of atonement, arguing that humanity's sin incurred an infinite debt to God's honor, a debt only an infinite being—God Himself—could repay. This seminal text continues to be a cornerstone of Christian theology, offering timeless insights into the nature of God, sin, justice, and salvation. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings of Christianity.

Why God Became Man

The enemy is no longer hidden in the dark but instead operates in broad daylight. Its attacks on Americans are clear and intensifying: cancel culture, wokeness, public shaming, urban violence, “whiteness,” and critical race theory. The enemy also seeks to undermine the sacredness of human life, failing to provide basic protection for the lives of the unborn.This enemy is called the Desecrators. The Desecrators tear down not only monuments but human nature, the biblical-natural conception of marriage, the family, parental rights, fact-based education, traditional moral values, and the Church. The Desecrators are taking over the media, publishing, educational institutions, corporate boards, labor unions, amateur and professional sports, foundations, and professional associations ranging from the American Medical Association to the Chamber of Commerce. They leave nothing untouched.In this powerfully provocative book, Matt Schlapp and Deal W. Hudson provide firsthand accounts of the Desecrators’ actions and intentions, including their remarkably angry and uncharitable treatment of President Donald Trump, which Hudson and Schlapp uniquely observed. The authors also describe how Catholics have been stifled for years because many bishops have failed to confront pro-abortion Catholic politicians. But fortunately, there is hope. As Hudson and Schlapp lay bare the Desecrators’ path of destruction, they also lay out a plan for the faithful to turn things around.Here is a book that will embolden all people of faith and good will to make their voices heard once again in the public square and political realm by countering the enemy with reason, faith, and hope. Here is a vision to build up rather than tear down.

;To live life without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a struggle for truth, that is not living, but existing.; —Pier Giorgio Frassati Enter the heart of a passionate young man who in his brief life reached the heights of adventure, friendship, and sanctity. Born to a wealthy family in Turin at the dawn of the 20th century, Pier Giorgio Frassati was good-looking, popular and athletic. He spent much of his youth climbing the rugged Italian Alps, disappearing into the clouds for days at a time. He was quick with a joke or a prank and enjoyed a good time. It seemed he was blessed with everything a young man could ask for. But he hungered for more. Despite coming from a family of such prestige, Pier Giorgio spent most days in the slums of Turin, visiting the poor and serving the sick. His love for Christ burned within him and brushed off on everyone he came into contact with—from lepers and orphans to college friends and political diplomats. He shared his Faith with kindness and charity, and defended it passionately against the evils of Fascism, even coming to blows with Mussolinis thugs on numerous occasions. Pier Giorgio touched the lives of thousands, yet his high-society parents remained unmoved by the life he led as they frowned upon his religious practices and charitable work. Reaching them would be his last challenge, his final mountain to climb. To the Heights is an unforgettable novel about Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Dig deeper than the biographical facts and discover the heart of a charismatic young man whose soul blazes brightly and uniquely among the host of heaven.

;Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.; —Ephesians 5:14 The long-simmering crisis that grips our culture has exploded in recent years, leaving us divided and intransigent. Discourse seems futile when we are no longer a people with shared principles or even a shared understanding of reality. What seems obvious to one person is patently absurd to the next. This collapse of meaning is not accidental. It has been plotted and documented for decades, and now presents in its current form as Woke ideology. Awake, Not Woke unmasks this ideology by examining its history, major players, premises, and tactics, showing us that ;Wokeness; at its core is an ideology of rupture. Indeed, it is an ideology with fundamentalist and even cult-like characteristics that is on a collision course with Christianity. With a wit and clarity that both exposes the absurd and mourns the brokenness of our culture, Noelle Mering provides answers to such questions as: Why does tolerance seem to only go in one direction? How does the ideology create enemies, eroding friendship across the sexes and races? Why is violence the natural end of Woke ideology? Why are the Woke considered blameless? Why have politics become all-absorbing? Why is the corruption of children a logical outgrowth of Woke principles? How is the movement fundamentally a rejection of the Logos? This is a spiritual battle, and it is not accidental. The architects of revolution have long known that the transformation of the West had to come by way of destabilizing the social, familial, and religious pieties of a citizenry. But there is a road to restoration, and it begins with identifying and understanding the operating principles of the Woke movement. While the revolution is a counterfeit religion resulting in alienation and division, the One True Faith brings restoration. It is this restoration -- of the person, the family, and the Faith -- for which we all hunger and is the most fitting avenue toward a more harmonious and whole society.

Most Protestants never think twice about using the Bible to attack the Catholic Church. But do they know where the Bible comes from? In Where We Got the Bible, Fr. Henry Graham explains in intimate detail the canons of the Old and New Testaments and how the Catholic Church assembled them through infallible pronouncements, councils, and force of Tradition—something Protestants find hard to grapple with. In addition, this book details the history of the Bible after the assembly of the canon and how the Catholic Church preserved it. Some people do not know that Martin Luther and other Protestants removed books from the Bible. The Catholic Church, however, preserves and maintains the original Scriptures—the very ones Martin Luther grew up learning and studying!Most of all, Where We Got the Bible is a vindication of the role of the Bible in the Church's life. The Sacred Scriptures are truly the inspired Word of God through the Holy Spirit's action in individual authors across time. However, it takes the Holy Spirit's guidance and inspiration through the action of the Church, assembled in college and under the authority of the Roman Pontiff, to make the determinations about just what really belongs in Scripture. Finally, the force of Sacred Tradition is what binds this together and keeps the orthodox Biblical canons intact throughout the centuries. Learn all this and more in this handy, precise, and short treatise.Fr. Henry Grey Graham was a priest and author from the 20th century. His works, such as What Faith Really Means and Where We Got the Bible, exhibit his clear and understandable style.

Let go and let God. This popular phrase captures the essence of Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade's 18th century treatise on trust, Abandonment to Divine Providence.Do you doubt? Do you suffer? Are you anxious about the trials of life?Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace.
