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!

Poetry is meant for everyone.For you. For your child. But where to start?Poems Every Child Should Know&#160;is here to help.Selected and accompanied by commentary from bestselling author and literature professor Joseph Pearce, this exciting collection of verse contains classic poems that every child should know to begin a poetic ascent towards God. Not only that, but these poems are chosen so as to help all "become as little children," and are ones everyone should know, regardless of age. These timeless treasures form a foundation upon which to build poetic knowledge and to see the world through the eyes of a poet, the way God intended it.Culled from the rich history of English&#160;poetry, these gems of the English language’s inheritance are meant to enrich our children’s cultural treasure chest. Verse, like virtue, is often most beautiful when it is most simple. A good beginning makes a good end all the more likely, so immersing children in beautiful words—words which so powerfully and continually shape our world, our thoughts, our prayers—and teaching them to take a minute and stop to observe a beautiful sentence is of the utmost importance. Appreciating beauty in even the most ordinary of life’s moments is a lesson that will prepare their minds to receive Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Himself.Throughout the book, readers will find “things to think about,” inviting them to engage more deeply with individual&#160;poems. These should be seen as an invitation to an adventure into unknown territory, an opportunity to go further up and further in. Be fearless, be adventurous, and enjoy this journey into the realm of the good, the true, and the beautiful of our English language.

Whether or not your family has an actual fireplace around which to gather is not so important, but it helps!Included within are entries from legendary novelists and poets such as Leo Tolstoy, G. K. Chesterton, Charles Dickens, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Willa Cather, and more. Also included are profound thoughts from great religious figures such as Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Pope Saint John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI.For those who love the true spirit of the ;most wonderful time of the year; and love reading in almost equal measure, Christmas Around the Fire will quickly become a family tradition and the first piece excitedly pulled out of storage every year.

A Catholic Woman's Guide to Romance

The Church is enduring one of the worst crises in her history. There has been a collapse in the number of laity, clergy, and religious participating in the Catholic faith. According to the Index of Leading Catholic Indicators: The Church Since Vatican II, approximately 460 million Catholics have left the Faith since Vatican II. Not only is there a crisis in participation, there are a plethora of surveys which reveal the extent of heterodox teachings in the modern United States Church.Despite this rapid decline in Catholic demographics, there is hope. A recent study conducted by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter found that while Novus Ordo (that is, the 1969 Mass of Pope Paul VI) parishes have been shrinking, parishes that offer the Latin Mass have been growing. Another study conducted by Dr. Joseph Shaw found that the average traditional parish has larger family sizes, younger attendees, and higher male attendance. What is the explanation for this?In Ever Ancient, Ever New, millennials enthralled with the traditional devotions of our Faith which have been left largely abandoned since Vatican II explain this phenomenon. These authors include Alexander Tschugguel, Stephanie Nicholas, as well as Timothy and Stephanie Gordon. Ever Ancient, Ever New offers the path forward for the Church’s future: her past.

Dear Parent, A trillion years from now, your child will be either in Heaven or in Hell. And this is only the beginning of eternity. In light of this eternal perspective, the time is now, Dear Parent, to raise your child to live entirely for Christ and His Church. The time is now to train your child in the Four Last Things, the spiritual life, the virtues of piety and humility, and the school of Calvary while shielding him from the errors of modernism, Protestantism, and much more. Unlike most parenting books which focus exclusively on the body and this fleeting world, this short work focuses upon your childs eternal soul. In these pages, you will be challenged to see the eternal consequence of every single parental act—acts of commission and acts of omission. The Lord has said unto you, it is better that you have a millstone hung around your neck and that you be cast into the depths of the sea than for you, Dear Parent, to lead your little one astray (Mk 9:41).
