;Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you; (James 4:8)Christ waits for us, every day, in the Eucharist. But, in the chaos of our lives, we often find it difficult to draw near to him. Even when we make the time to be in his presence, we lose focus, become distracted, or grow impatient with ourselves.100 Holy Hours for Women provides a solution with its collection of one hundred Eucharistic meditations, giving inspiration for directed, efficacious prayer before Our Lord in the Eucharist. Whether you are a mother, a single woman, or a consecrated religious, this spiritually uplifting work is a valuable resource for cultivating an intimate relationship with our Eucharistic Lord. Originally written as a religious sisters guide for daily adoration, 100 Holy Hours for Women contains a plethora of profound spiritual insight into the mystery of the Eucharist. Each of the mediations focuses on a single verse from Scripture. The first part of the mediation explores the deeper implications of the verse, especially in light of the Eucharist. Then, the second part of the mediation takes the form of a personal examination and a prayer, with questions and exhortations to encourage the adorer to look at and cultivate her own spiritual life. These meditations draw from the entirety of Sacred Scripture, particularly following Christs life, death, and resurrection. Through them, learn to look to the Virgin Mary and the angels as models of perfect adoration.Be inspired to comfort Our Lord in his agony, as he suffered it in his passion and as he suffers it today through peoples abuse and neglect of the Eucharist, his great gift to the Church. By fruitful meditation and grace, develop virtues such as gratitude, faith, love, trust, and humility, all of which are absolutely essential for living in union with Christ. 100 Holy Hours for Women encourages Christian women, of every calling and stage of life, to enter into quiet, loving conversation with Jesus. This book enables all to comprehend the love of Christ, who gave us his Body and Blood that we might come closer to him. Only in the Eucharist can we find the perfect example of total humility, self-sacrificial love, and holy submission. Only through the Eucharist can we hope to attain happiness in this world and the next.

100 Holy Hours for Women

Fr. Edward Looney reads from chapter 14 of book 7 and then comments on praying for the conversion of sinners. &nbsp;

Day 307: Volume 4, Book 7, Chapter 14, Paragraphs 248-257

The Blessed Sacrament is the great "open secret" of the Catholic Church — the great truth that Jesus Christ is in the Tabernacle and is accessible to all who believe in Him. But this truth is not immediately obvious, and thus it is not really appreciated as it should be.The Blessed Sacrament: God With Us is a call to all Catholics to appreciate and love Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, for in that perpetual miracle is all the wealth of His love, and our "heaven" on earth!

Bishop Philip Joseph Furlong's famous text on American History, Our Pioneers and Patriots, is the perfect companion for 5th-to-8th-grade students studying our nation's history, especially its Catholic roots. At a time when every figure in American history is being questioned and purged, and doubly so for Catholic figures, it is important to provide a solid and Catholic Christian education about the history of our country and what it stands for.Covering first Norse and Spanish explorations of the New World, the text then moves on to cover the English colonies, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, American expansion westward, the Industrial Revolution, and the early 20th century. Originally written in 1940, this text covers American History up to the Second World War. Included are figures such as Christopher Columbus, St. Isaac Jogues, Fr. Jacques Marquette, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and many more! All told from a thoroughly Catholic and patriotic perspective, the text also includes Study Questions and Activities for students, making it ideal for both students in Catholic grade school and homeschoolers, especially those enrolled in TAN Academy!Note: This product contains the Textbook only.

Our Pioneers and Patriots

St. John Bosco was a priest of the diocese of Turin, Italy, and founder of the Society of St. Francis de Sales. Famous for his kindliness and gentleness, he is a patron of disadvantaged youth because of his caring for children on the streets and juvenile delinquents, whose welfare he made his life's work. Giving them shelter and care, teaching them skills for future employment, and even enticing them with his uncanny magic tricks and juggling skills, Don Bosco was famous as a helper of the poor and needy children created by the Industrial Revolution, as well as a beloved publisher of catechetical works.He was called to the priesthood at an early age and, through struggle and hard work, obtained the education necessary to be ordained. His life work was among the poor and needy, both young men and women (through the congregations he founded especially). He wrote volumes, including over 220 works, in addition to all the other efforts he made, which included pioneering a method of education that was based on love rather than punishment and guiding the Salesians to become one of the largest religious orders in the world. All of his students grew to love him, and he was ever seen teaching and guiding many youths to greater charity. He died in 1888; his funeral was attended by thousands.But there was yet far more inside this powerhouse saint than meets the eye. Recorded in his memoirs, St. John Bosco's mystical dreams—provided in this short biography as well—reveal a side of the gentle saint that is scarcely recognizable, taking him squarely from the image of the saint of social welfare to one as a mystical pastor of souls. The dreams—really allegorical visions, and terrible ones—saw him tossing on the waves of the high seas of modernism that roiled and rocked the Barque of the Church, or facing a horrifying, massive snake that was strangled in the rope of the Rosary, or permeating by divine guidance straight to the depths of Hell and back again. Yes, Don Bosco was also a mystic—and an extraordinary one at that. Most of all, Don Bosco's life of service to others, especially the youth, and bringing them to Christ, show this: that the interior life is always the source of exterior action. Here is the life of an underrated and extremely important saint for our times.

Saint John Bosco: The Friend of Youth

The Secret of Confession

“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

Some people are just dying for change! St. Rita's was a vibrant suburban church whose parishioners liked things on the traditional side: old-fashioned hymns from the choir and no-nonsense preaching from the priests, pious devotions in the chapel and warm pastries in the rectory kitchen. All that ended the day the liturgist arrived. He promised to bring the parish up to date, to get more people to participate, to make the Mass more appealing to the tastes of modern Catholics. But all he did was make enemies; it seems St. Rita's wasn't ready to bring a new church into being quite yet. So when the liturgist turned up dead, under violent and mysterious circumstances, everyone was a suspect. Death of a Liturgist&nbsp;features the return of Francesca Bibbo, the irrepressible heroine of&nbsp;Death in the Choir. Join her and the rest of St. Rita's eccentric crew, including Sister Therese, Detective Tony Viscardi, and Ignatius the Hamster (with a little help from the archbishop, too), as they try to solve the mystery and make St. Rita's safe for tradition again.

Non-Human Intelligence: Heavenly Mysteries, Demonic Deceptions, and Uncomfortable Truths | Dr. Paul Thigpen

One of the most popular Saints in the Church for centuries, St. Rita is known as the "Saint of the Impossible" because of her amazing answers to prayers, as well as the remarkable events of her own life.Desirous of being a nun, she instead obeyed her parents and married. Her husband was cruel, and caused her much suffering, to which she responded with love and prayers, eventually converting him. After the death of her husband and two sons, Rita was able to enter a convent, where she devoted herself to prayer and penance.She abandoned herself totally to God, diminishing herself as He increased in her. Here is the inspiring story of a soul completely resigned to God's will. 132 pgs, PB

Saint Rita of Cascia

Scripture speaks of miracles wrought through relics: a dead man was raised when Elisha’s bones touched him, and the clothing of Jesus and His apostles healed the sick. In the early Church, Masses were celebrated over the bones of the martyrs, and phials of their blood have affected countless miracles. Direct successors of the Apostles themselves speak of venerating relics; Church Fathers encourage it; throughout the ages of Catholic legacy, relics of the saints are always present.The Church takes diligent care in preserving and documenting the authenticity of her relics. Best-selling author Joan Carroll Cruz takes full advantage of these resources. With painstaking research, she exposes the details behind hundreds of the Church’s most famous and beloved relics. She covers 38 second-class relics of our Lord and Our Lady, such as the Holy Grail and Our Lady’s Veil, and relics of all sorts from 75 favorite saints, such as St. Mary Magdalene, St. Agnes, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Maria Goretti, and many more!Relics is a unique collection of years of dedicated research about the lives of the saints and the mementos they left behind to remind us of their presence and intercession for us.&#160;

Augustine's prayerful reflection leads us to recognize the layers of meaning within even the simplest biblical passages.
