A Star Over Bethlehem
~~$11.95~~ $10.16 On Sale!
"A Star Over Bethlehem, From Advent to the Epiphany by Ann Finch (ed.) A Journey through the events surrounding the first Christmas, stripped of their tinsel and glitter, without reindeer and Santa Claus, and without the stresses and strains of consumerism. ""A Star Over Bethlehem"" has the character and feel of a winter snow storm, perhaps the first of the season. This is a collection of poems, prayers, reflections, stories, words from the early Fathers of the Church, meditations of the saints and literature. All the selections dance around the images of Christmas: the star, the star-child, the Virgin and Joseph, the familiar places of Bethlehem, Nazareth, the mystery of the Incarnation. Some pieces are enchanting and glisten in eyes and soul. Others are sobering and thought-provoking. 5 3/8 x 8 1/2, paper, 160 pages."

Summon the Spirits Cry

A Collection of Poems by Mother Mary Francis, PCC. The poems arise - blossom would be a better word - in that region where our human experience finds itself challenged by faith - by The Faith, really. A sharp consciousness of the Liturgy, the psalter, the religious life, and of the great mysteries of the Faith suffuses these utterances. One is awakened by the demanding syntax, the fresh vocabulary, and the curious focus (on everything from a turtle's eye to a Ph. D. examination to the Stations of the Cross). A book to be kept near one's breviary, one's missal, and one's Bible. - Thomas Howard, Author, Evangelical is Not Enough.

Sex, Love & You
$11.95
Making the Right Decision. Updated and Revised for 2003. Authors: Tom & Judy Lickona More and William Boudreau, M.D.

The pressure on teens to be sexually active only increases and multiples as the years go on. Today, teens are under enormous pressure to be sexually active. Popular culture tells them that uncommitted responsible sex is possible. Television, movies, and the Internet anxious to depict reality, find themselves promoting as perverse of sexual behavior imaginable.

More than ever, teens continue to need a clear understanding of the physical and psychological fallout of acting out sexual behavior apart from marriage.

Strongly rooted in Catholic Tradition, Sex, Love, and You: Making the Right Decision promotes the value of chastity and tells teens how their lives will be better if they refrain from sexual intimacy before marriage. In a direct, no-nonsense fashion, authors Tom and Judy Lickona examine the dangers of sexual activity and the rewards of waiting. They explore all side of the sex debate—from helping distinguish between myth and fact, to examining the physical and emotional dangers of uncommitted sex; from unearthing fallacies and popular misconceptions about premarital sex, to developing a personal plan that will allow young people to live a chaste life.

Spiritual Combat Revisited
$14.95
Fr. Robinson has done a great service in revitalizing Lorenzo Scupoli’s classic, Spiritual Combat, so that contemporary Catholics can rediscover this rich work that has served many generations of Catholics. This book is about the life of prayer and personal reform and renewal. It fits squarely into the tradition of the “great masters” of the spiritual life, and to the line of great modern writers on spirituality. It is a work of particular relevance that confronts modern culture with the tough-minded, deeply authentic challenge of spiritual combat.

Robinson has retained Scupoli’s appeal to the Catholic reader through a conversational style, short chapters, familiar examples from everyday life, and the pastoral bent which has marked his own outstanding career. Covering the basic difficulties of daily prayer and of obstacles to living the virtues, Scupoli and Robinson test the mettle of real Catholics by calling us to live an interior life for and with God.

Search for the Meaning of Life
$19.95
Essays and Reflections on the Mystical Experience by Willigis Jäger.

Willigis Jäger sets out the focus of his book in his opening paragraph: “Everyday human consciousness may be compared to a passenger on a ship. The passenger can see only as far as the horizon. But what lies beyond the horizon is greater and mightier by far than everything in front of it. Our ego-consciousness recognizes only the reality accessible to reason and the senses. What lies beyond this capacity for knowledge, however, is far greater and powerful.”

Throughout twelve chapters derived from talks and lectures, Jäger uncovers an understanding of the mystical meaning of life, the role of science and mysticism, the nature of transpersonal experience, the search for the Whole, the development of mystical experience in Eastern and Western religions, contemplative prayer as a Christian path, psychological and moral aspects of the inner path, and death as transformation.

Citing such diverse writers and thinkers as John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, Ken Wilbur, John Cassian, Kabir, Gary Zukav, Daito Kokushi, and Zenkei Shibayama, Search for the Meaning of Life is an accessible explanation of the mystical journey from reason and knowledge to a direct experience of cosmic awareness and the ultimate reality. 304 pages; Paperback.

New Saints and Blesseds of the Catholic Church, Vol. 2
$14.95
by Ferdinand Holbock

In this second volume of New Saints and Blesseds of the Catholic Church are depicted the lives and deaths, the struggles and battles of those women and men who were raised to the honors of the altar by Pope John Paul II during the fours years from 1984 through 1987, in forty-nine beatification ceremonies and in seven canonization liturgies.

Among them are Blesseds and Saints from a wide variety of countries, languages, ages and walks of life: lay people, religious, priests, and bishops, confessors and martyrs, including Edith Stein, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Titus Brandsma, Teresa of the Andes, and many more. All of them not only deserve reverence, but are worthy of imitation in their striving for perfection, in their fidelity to the Catholic faith and to the Church of Jesus Christ.

The life of each one of these personages is portrayed briefly, occasionally in greater detail, followed by the homily which the Pope gave at the respective beatification or canonization ceremony. This papal address presents a very contemporary commentary on the life of the new Blessed or Saint.

Anyone who reads these short biographies is edified and touched, moved to give thanks, that the Church, which today is so often reviled and criticized, is still in our days a “Mother and teacher”, the Mother of Saints, and a guide to sanctity. Illustrated with many pictures.

Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart
$7.95
We live in a day and age characterized by an extraordinary amount of agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us all too often in our lives? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of heart. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.

Scriptural Meditations
$6.95
For the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Franciscan Crown, Seven Sorrows and Rosary
By: Lucas J Amato, SFO

Here are four of the most popular Catholic devotions, accompanied by a short passage from Scripture to inspire meditation on each mystery. A short history of each devotion, plus instructions for how to pray it using traditional rosary beads, is given. Included are:

* The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
* The Franciscan Crown of Mary’s Joys
* The Seven Sorrows of Mary (The Servite Chaplet)
* The Rosary (including the Mysteries of Light)

“Don’t you share my problems with meditating on the mysteries of the life of Jesus and Mary? I lose my concentration easily. Sure, I start off fairly well at the beginning of each mystery; but before I realize it I’ve drifted off into thinking about some upcoming chore, such as my shopping list or some needed repairs at home. This book shows you how to read a quotation from Scripture before reciting each prayer of these four devotions. This method has enabled me to continually meditate on the specific mystery and still devoutly pray the intervening prayers. For me now, each prayer becomes the melody and the Bible verses the words to my spiritual song.” —Lucas J. Amato, S.F.O.

Secular Sabotage:
$26.95
How Liberals Are Destroying Religion and Culture in America

This assault is not happening from accident or whim. It is happening because disaffected liberals have deliberately set out to upend our Judeo-Christian traditions. Indeed, they are determined to tear down the traditional norms, values, and institutions that have been part of American society from its founding. The cultural debris that these saboteurs have created will take decades to clean up.

In feisty prose, Donohue explores our nation where a college student is threatened with expulsion because she prayed on campus, a civil rights organization protests a statue of Jesus found on the ocean floor and a housewife sues a school district to stop the singing of Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer at a school choral production. These are just a few examples cited that demonstrate a culture descending into madness.

Donohue takes no prisoners as he digs out and exposes the groups behind this all-out attack on our Christian traditions. Among these are the radical atheists, the proponents of multiculturalism, the sexual libertines, the Hollywood elite with their not-so-hidden agenda and lawyers who collaborate for profit.

The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross
~~$6.00~~ $4.21 On Sale!
By Fr. Faber. Few Christians can recall all Seven of Our Lord`s Last Words on the Cross. Yet these Seven Words — brief sentences spoken by Him — give us Our Saviour's sacred parting instructions, messages intended not only for their few immediate hearers on the hill of Calvary, but spoken to all generations by way of Holy Scripture. For nothing that Our Lord said or did is without meaning for each of us today. Despite Jesus` agony on the Cross, these words do not express desperation or anger, but rather the strength of a Person in full command of His faculties to the very end. They are replete with that immense and far more-than-human love for us which was unquenchable in Our Lord, even by torture and the approach of death, as exemplified in St. John's statement: He loved them unto the end. (John 13:1)

In this little book, Father Christopher Rengers looks at each of the Seven Last Words for an understanding of their inner meaning, drawing out of them their lessons for us today with regard to forgiveness, care of the dying, zeal for souls, discouragement, fulfillment of obligations, and so forth. No Christian should be ignorant of the Seven Last Words of Christ nor of the meanings which they contain—messages which Our Lord speaks to us across the centuries, and all as recorded in the Holy Gospel.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. (Luke 23:34)
Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.(Luke 23:43)
Woman, behold thy son. . . .Behold thy mother. (John 19:26-27)
My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?. (Matt. 27:46) I thirst. (John 19:28)
It is consummated. (John 19:30)
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. (Luke 23:46)
