;Lea este librillo despacio y con atención, no una vez sino muchas veces, y dará gracias a Dios todo el resto de su vida.; (página xi)&iquest;Sabe usted qué tan poderoso es el Santo Nombre de Jesús?Con este librillo en mano, podrá rezar "sin cesar", pues aprenderá a ver los grandes dones que Dios concede a los que glorifican el Nombre de Su Hijo. En este librillo, el Padre Paul O'Sullivan explica que el Nombre de Jesús es mucho más poderoso que la mayoría de los Católicos conocen. Muestra con qué facilidad la repetición del nombre de Jesús puede:glorificar a Diospedir Su ayudapagar las deudas espiritualesayudar a las almas del Purgatorioobtener muchas graciasdefendernos del Diabloproveernos con una muerte felíz&iexcl;y mucho más!Dios siempre nos está ofreciendo Su gracia. Aprovechar la invocación del Santísimo Nombre de Su Hijo es una manera tradicional e importante de abrirse a Sus múltiples dones. Rezar con el Nombre de Jesús, explica el Padre O'Sullivan, es el secreto menos conocido para una vida felíz y santa."Por lo cual Dios también Le exaltó hasta lo sumo, y Le dio un Nombre que es sobre todo Nombre, para que en el Nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla de los que están en los cielos, y en la tierra, y debajo de la tierra; y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es el Señor, para gloria de Dios Padre."

Las Maravillas del Santo Nombre

"To move [the] Omnipotent Word to grant pardon and deliverance to the Suffering Souls in consideration of the suffrages of the faithful on earth—such is the object of the following treatises." —From the PrefaceIn this significant volume on the Catholic doctrine concerning Purgatory, Fr. John A. Nageleisen, a missionary priest of the Congregation of the Most Precious Blood, covers all aspects of the Church's tradition regarding the subject of those poor souls who have died in charity to God but were imperfect and so require purgation. While no one has definitively experienced the nature of Purgatory, tradition and theology have much to say on the subject, and none is left uncovered by Fr. Nageleisen. His treatment includes:The existence of Purgatory;The condition of the suffering souls in Purgatory;The means of relieving the suffering souls;The motives for helping the suffering souls;The gratitude of the suffering souls;The heroic act of charity for the suffering souls;And much more . . .Most of all, Fr. Nageleisen desires only that we should understand the extreme value and virtue of praying for the holy souls. While we ourselves should desire not to go to Purgatory and only to Heaven, those already experiencing the former need our prayers and sacrifices, since they have no ability of their own to gain merit in expiation of sin. To pray for these souls is a great act of mercy and charity, as Fr. Nageleisen recalls to us. Let this book serve a twofold purpose, then: first, that we should strive to avoid anything that would in this life separate us from meriting Heaven upon death, and second, that we should recall, even in all our prayers, the souls of the faithful departed, that they might finally rest in peace.Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them . . .

Tim and Conor sit down to discuss Conor’s popular book, Parenting for Eternity: A Guide to Raising Children in Holy Mother Church. They explore the essential question at the heart of Catholic parenting: How do we raise our children with eternity in mind?Together, they dive into key themes from the book, including the importance of creating a vision for parenting, the role of suffering in raising holy children, whether a deeper focus on eternity would lead to more or fewer kids, and why caring for both body and soul now is essential preparation for the life to come.They consider parenting through the lens of the Four Last Things—Death, Judgment, Hell, and Heaven—highlighting why Catholic parents must raise saints by preparing their children for their ultimate destiny. From teaching kids to think about death in a healthy way to the Church Fathers’ insights on death, the power of the Rosary, and the reality of Hell, this conversation is a wake-up call for parents to instill both the aversion to sin and the hope of Heaven in their children.

Parenting for Eternity: Death, Judgment, and Heaven or Hell? | Conor Gallagher

One of the most profoundly influential and deeply inspirational saints in the last five centuries of the Church, St. Francis de Sales is famous for his personality and writings, which have earned him, respectively, the appellation "The Gentleman Saint" and the designation Doctor of the Church. In this substantial and readable biography, Louise Stacpoole-Kenny exposes the life of this remarkable and holy bishop who lived in a region rife with Calvinist heresy during the time of the tumultuous birth of Protestantism.De Saless tempered and gentle yet firm and determined approach to spiritual direction made him a true pearl of great price in the Churchs spiritual patrimony. No one ever mastered the doctoring of souls quite like this gentle Doctor of the Church—as countless saints formed by his legacy will attest. His Marian devotion and dedication to educating the laity by means of modern communication (at that time, leaflets) placed him ahead of his time, and his erudition combined with his sweetness mark him as a highly unusual man in the story of the Church, particularly during his time.As a testimony to St. Francis's monolithic sanctity, when he was being considered for beatification, 5,000 witnesses testified to his life of heroic virtues and miracles. Even the Calvinist minister of Geneva said of St. Francis de Sales, "If we honored any man as a Saint, I know none more worthy than this man since the days of the Apostles." Let St. Francis de Sales: A Biography of the Gentle Saint ignite in you a grateful and intimate devotion to this saint of the people, as you lean deeper into the story of his most devout life.

Saints and Sacramentals: Saint Dominic and the Rosary

The Baltimore Catechism formed generations of Catholics and provided a solid foundation in the faith for millions. In recent decades, it has enjoyed a renaissance among traditional-minded Catholics, yet few know that the Plenary Council which produced it, the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, also produced a manual of prayers (Imprimatur 1888).This present volume, based on the prayers in that manual, bears the newly-coined name Little Office of Baltimore. With its peculiarly and unmistakable American pedigree, coupled with the fact that it preceded the extensive changes to the Divine Office that occurred throughout the 20th century, it is sure to be welcomed by todays more traditional-minded English-speaking laity as well as those interested in historical Catholicism.It condenses the much larger edition of The Office of Baltimore into a beautiful, compact prayerbook to take with you throughout the day. Containing prayers for the traditional hours as well as the saints, the Blessed Mother, and Psalms for various occasions, this edition will quickly become your daily prayerbook. It is the perfect gift for someone who has just entered the Church or has received Confirmation.The Little Office of Baltimore especially appeals to todays more traditional-minded English-speaking laity and those interested in historical Catholicism.It retains a strong connection to the traditional Roman office which can be traced back, in its essentials, to Saint Benedict. Relying principally on the prayers found in the manual, when necessary the compiler supplemented with material gleaned from the English translation of the Roman breviary by the Marquis de Bute (Imprimatur 1903).The result is a beautiful new resource for those seeking to deepen their prayer lives or just a greater connection to Traditional American Catholicism.
