The Treasures of the Eastern Church | Fr. Michael O'Loughlin

The declaration that a saint is a Doctor of the Universal Church implies the recognition of a charism of wisdom bestowed by the Holy Spirit for the good of the Church.;—Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI The 35 Doctors of the Church presents the most comprehensive and fascinating collection available anywhere on the lives and labors of the saints who have been declared the Churchs Doctors.From St. Athanasius (c. 297-373) to St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897), youll find the amazing stories of 35 extraordinary men and women who are honored both for their holiness and for the eminence of their teachings about the Faith.Their work and witness are truly timeless; their lives and wisdom show us how to be holy in our own lives, how to confront the challenges of today, and how to proclaim the Gospel to a modern world hungering for Jesus Christ.Originally published as The 33 Doctors of the Church by Fr. Christopher Rengers, O.F.M.Cap., the 35 Doctors of the Church has been updated by Matthew E. Bunson, PhD, to include two new chapters about recently proclaimed Doctors, St. John of Ávila and St. Hildegard of Bingen. The revised edition also includes a new introduction with a detailed explanation of how the Church proclaims Doctors and their meaning for today.

What is the greatest title of Saint Joseph?While the Litany of St. Joseph is filled with many rich titles describing Joseph’s virtues and duties—such as most just, most chaste, patron of the dying, terror of demons, and protector of the Holy Church—there is one title that stands out which is quietly absent from his litany: the man closest to Christ.Of all the men God has created, no one has been as close to Christ as St. Joseph. He was the first man to hold God in his arms. He was the only man recorded to save Christ’s life. He was, ultimately, the man chosen from all time to be God’s earthly father.Just as his Son was prefigured in the Scriptures, St. Joseph was also long foreshadowed in the Old Testament. Looking at these biblical types opens our eyes to the reality that St. Joseph has many other titles, such as the provider of the Eucharist and the souls in Purgatory.Even though the year of St. Joseph has passed, the insights concerning our spiritual father continue to unfold. As the greatest of all the saints after Our Lady, St. Joseph holds the key to opening the treasuries of Our Lord’s Sacred and Eucharistic Heart. To imitate Christ is the goal of our spiritual lives. And what better way to imitate Christ than to learn from St. Joseph, the man who spent the most time with Him, the man closest to Christ!

After the Bible,&#160;The Imitation of Christ&#160;is the all-time favorite book of Catholics throughout the world. And of the English editions, none can equal this inspiring translation by Bishop Richard Challoner.This book speaks to the soul of every true Christian, reminding us of the fleeting nature of earthly joy as opposed to the eternity of happiness with God.The guide of the saints since it first appeared in 1418, it was the sole spiritual reading of St. Therese of Lisieux, who loved it and knew it by heart. Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange asserted that the true mysticism of which it speaks is accessible to all, if they are willing to follow the way of humility, the cross, continual prayer, and docility to the Holy Ghost. &#160;

How the Justice System Lost Its Soul – and How to Get It Back | Hadley Arkes

The journey of popular podcaster Kimberly Cook was that of many directionless young women in recent decades. As her family fell away from the Catholic Church right before her critical high school years, Cook was allured by relativism and formed by pop culture.Following her artistic interests, she quickly fell in with other outcasts and was strongly influenced by the feminist movement. In her words, "I repetitively encountered the issues of reproductive rights—abortion, contraception, and fertility. During that time, the horror of being a woman was awakened in me." She formed an all-girl punk band and eventually became a "hot-headed feminist-seeking restitution.;In her endless search for truth, God revealed himself to her and she returned to the Church in her early twenties, still struggling to let go of the harmful feminist ideologies that had been ingrained in her— especially the disdain for motherhood. ;As I was blessed with children, I realized that my motherhood was the kind of beauty that was written on the face of Mother Teresa: wrinkled, imperfect, and suffering, but what really mattered was the underlying and continuous desire to serve God.;Motherhood Redeemed is a book that challenges feminism in the modern world while examining how we got here. It reminds us simply that the true nature of womanhood is inseparable with a woman's maternal soul, and that all women are called to be mothers in one form or another.

Motherhood Redeemed

A generation ago, those who wanted to learn more about Francis de Sales's life could turn to A Man of Good Zeal: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Francis de Sales, published by American novelist John Edward Beahn in 1958. This imaginative re-telling of the saint's story, based on the historical records of his life and times, now comes to life again in the TAN Legend series of biographical fiction.St. Francis was born in 1567 in Savoy, a duchy of the western Alps whose fortunes were largely shaped by developments in neighboring France, Switzerland, and Italy. Military and political conflicts there were heightened and complicated by religious tensions between Catholics and Protestants, whose leader John Calvin had settled in nearby Geneva and won a following in some districts of Savoy as well. Francis's aristocratic father had great plans to position him for rapid advancement in this turbulent setting: He sent the young man to law school, maneuvered for his appointment as a senator, and chose a noble heiress as his future wife—but God had other plans.This new edition of A Man of Good Zeal: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Francis de Sales tells the inspiring story of how Francis risked his life to win thousands back to the Catholic faith, transformed the Diocese of Geneva as its bishop, and wrote the spiritual classics that eventually led Rome to name him a Doctor of the Church.

A Man of Good Zeal

Where can we find the peace of Christ?In December of 1925, Pope Pius XI declared the answer to this simple question—Pax Christi in Regno Christi (The peace of Christ is in the kingdom of Christ). His idea was clear: our world is chaotic and hopeless because man does not recognize the sovereignty of Christ. Christs kingly authority has been largely ignored by social and political groups, and even the Church has failed to properly proclaim this great truth.Gods law is higher than any human law; His justice is beyond our comprehension. Jesus Christ is King of the Universe and ruler of all things—but how often do our political or private actions acknowledge this reality?Author Michael Davies explores all the places where the sovereignty of Christ has been ignored or attacked. Some of the places he points to include our modern understanding of rights, our laws and conventions, and our social and political ideologies.In order to combat the rebellion against Jesuss sovereignty, Michael Davies explains how we can correctly submit to Jesuss authority in every part of our lives. Most importantly, he will show you the importance of the Feast of Christ the King and the many other ways we can participate in defending Christs kingdom.The honest and brilliant writing of Michael Davies makes this booklet an exciting read, as well as a manual to help diagnose and treat the many issues of our modern-day life.;For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king.;(Isaias 33:22)
