Definitive Guide to Catholic Fasting and Abstinence
Definitive Guide to Catholic Fasting and Abstinence
by Matthew R. Plese

This book explains fasting and how it has changed over the centuries in one of the most complete compilations yet written. Unfortunately, most summaries of fasting are either inaccurate or incomplete. However, rather than being a mere academic exercise, the purpose of studying the history of fasting is ultimately to help us rediscover these more ancient practices in an attempt to better observe Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother’s call for penance and reparation for sins.

As Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once remarked, “It is a long-established principle of the Church never to completely drop from her public worship any ceremony, object or prayer which once occupied a place in that worship.” The same may be said for matters concerning either Holy Days of Obligation or fast days. What our forefathers held sacred should remain sacred to us in an effort to preserve our catholicity not only with ourselves but with our ancestors who see God now in Heaven.

The 2nd edition features the following topics which were not covered (or covered only briefly) in the first edition, including detailed explanations of how fasting changed in other countries besides America, including Spain and the Philippines, a detailed explanation of who was exempt from fasting and/or abstinence and how those changes were documented and taught in various catechisms over the centuries. Mr. Plese also cover Easter Week food traditions, highlighting their connection with the Lenten fast, Armenian fasting and abstinence rigors, Maronite fasting guidelines, the heroic example of St. John of the Cross and the Primitive Rule of Pope Innocent IV vs. the mitigated rule approved by Pope Eugenius IV, how the time of the meal on fasting days differed (e.g., sunset for Ember Days but 3 PM for the weekly devotional fasts), and so much more.

Even priests have said that 95% of the book's content is new and was not taught to them!

Lord of the World
Lord of the World
A Dystopian Future as seen by a Catholic Priest
Annotated Version
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson

A PRIEST’S PROPHETIC VISION OF SOCIETAL AND MORAL DECLINE

Lord of the World is a riveting apocalyptic novel that foretold the future with frightening accuracy. Written in 1907 by Fr. Robert Hugh Benson, this prophetic book contains a dystopian vision that is perilously close to being realized fully today.

Though released over a century ago, the issues and themes Lord of the World explores are startlingly contemporary. Through his masterful writing, Benson transports readers to a disturbing political environment where religion is abolished, euthanasia is encouraged, and an all-powerful secular government rules with an iron fist. It is a world where humanity has lost its moral compass and individual freedoms are severely restricted.

Lord of the World is astonishing in the accuracy of its predictions, from the erosion of spirituality to the rise of anti-Catholic regimes. The pace of social and moral decline examined in Benson’s work has only accelerated in the decades since it was first published, making this landmark of Catholic literature as relevant today as it was upon publication.

This annotated edition provides readers with concise chapter-by-chapter summaries that include helpful elucidations of the text. By contextualizing Benson’s masterpiece, this edition serves to deepen the reader’s appreciation of the author’s immediate concerns at the dawn of the 20th century while grasping its continuing relevance to the beleaguered early decades of the 21st.

The King's Man
The King's Man
Saint Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson

“For the Name of Jesus, and the defense of the Church, I am ready to die.”—St. Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury

“St. Thomas therefore will always stand as a symbol of the unceasing conflict between the world and the Church; and the fact that some of the principles for which he contended do appear even to some Catholics to be on the very borderline between ‘dogma’ and ‘opinion,’ makes him all the more significant.”—Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson
Robert Hugh Benson’s retelling of St. Thomas Becket’s mar­tyrdom offers a compelling portrait of an archbishop who died defending the Church’s independence from political control. This gripping narrative chronicles the tragic transformation of King Henry II and his former chancellor from intimate friends to mortal enemies, as their conflict over ecclesiastical authority escalates toward its bloody end. Benson masterfully illustrates how this twelfth-century struggle between throne and altar contained the philosophical seeds of a rupture that would reshape the Western world—prefiguring the Protestant Revolt and the conflicts between the Church and the world today. This struggle is summed up in St. Thomas’ own transformation as his allegiance shifts from an earthly king to the King of Kings.

“Catholics believe that Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world, and therefore cannot possibly, in the matter of her own constitution, be subject to secular control.”—Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson

Marcel Lefebvre
The Biography
by Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais

The Life of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

With over 2,000 references and 1,500 names cited, this is the definitive biography of Archbishop Lefebvre, written by one of his closest associates, Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais - a scholar in his own right.

Critics have said of the original French edition: "magisterial," "well-researched, serious, and honest," "reveals unsuspected facets. A very complete work," "a rich, important contribution to contemporary religious history," "a literary event," "a landmark." Influential French traditional Catholic publisher Jean Madiran said, "...the fruit of several years of considerable labour. The book is rich in documentation, often unpublished, and in many theological observations."

Marcel Lefebvre's (1905-91) career saw him make a meteoric rise through the Church ranks. At age 42, this missionary priest was appointed bishop in Senegal by Pope Pius XII. One year later, he was named as the Holy See's Apostolic Delegate for French-speaking Africa. In 1962 he was elected Superior General of the 5,000-member Holy Ghost Fathers. Pope John XXIII made him an Assistant to the Papal Throne and a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Second Vatican Council.

In 1968 he felt obliged to resign from his post as Superior General, and on November 1, 1970, he founded the Society of St. Pius X in Econe, Switzerland with canonical approval. He gradually became well-known throughout the world because of his adherence to the "Latin Mass," his opposition to some of the innovations of Vatican II (1962-65), and his disagreements with Pope Paul VI.

After the Vatican sanctioned him and the Society, he celebrated a "forbidden Mass" in Lille, France (1976), before 10,000 Catholics and 400 journalists, an event that brought him and his convictions international status. In 1988 he made headlines again when he consecrated four bishops without the permission of Pope John Paul II.

All Catholics, particularly those attached to the Tridentine Mass, owe a huge debt of gratitude to this man who was so extraordinarily sure of himself only because he was absolutely sure of God. We ought to know him better.

All Hail Christ the King
All Hail Christ the King
by Fr Francis Xavier Lasance

“The peace of Christ is the Kingdom of Christ! This is the watchword of the Vicar of Christ. Rulers and people alike must render obedience to the Kingship of Christ if peace and happiness are to prevail on earth.”  - Fr. Francis Xavier Lasance

In a time of rampant societal discord and moral decline, Christ's earthly kingship is needed more than ever.

Christ must be recognized both privately in our hearts and homes, and publicly in our nations and their institutions. This little collection of devotions to Christ the King is a spiritually beneficial tool to foster the respect and homage that we, in justice, owe as a society to our Savior, Creator, and King.

The Catechism Simply Explained
Catechism Simply Explained
by Canon Henry Taylor Cafferata

The Catechism Simply Explained is an excellent short and simple explanation of the Traditional Catholic Faith. First printed in England in 1897 by Canon Cafferata, the book was a remarkable success, such that it was reprinted many times throughout the 20th Century. This reprint is an exact copy of the 1954 New Revised Edition, available for the first time to the English-speaking world of North America.

The book is excellent for adult converts or anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of the Catechism and may not have time for a more in-depth study. The work is written in the traditional ‘penny catechism’ question and answer style, supported throughout by scriptural references. This ‘instruction manual for salvation’ should be an essential part of any spiritual first- aid kit!

Mother Love
Mother Love
Mother Love
A Manual for Christian Mothers
by a Priest of the Capuchin Order

"What on God's good earth is more glorious than this; to be a mother?"

With these words, Cardinal Mindzenty, summed up the glories of maternity, ordered toward the creation of new saints for the kingdom of God. And yet, the life of the mother is not an easy one. Between helping her husband, caring for her children, trips to school, the doctor, the grocery store, not to mention housework, cooking, and more, the life of a mother can lose it's proper focus: the glory of God. Add to this an increasingly hostile modern world who thinks little of mothers and offers little help and support and the situation is overwhelming.

To help Catholic mothers sanctify themselves in their state in life, and through that, to sanctify their homes as well, we have printed the original, unadulterated version of Mother Love, a complete prayer and devotional book, just for moms!

Originally written in the late 1800s by a priest of the Capuchin order, this "manual for Christian mothers" contains:
  • Morning and Evening Prayers for Mothers
  • Devotions for the Holy Rosary
  • Points of Doctrine a Christian Mother Should Teach to Her Children
  • Prayers at Mass
  • The "Ten Commandments" of Christian Education
  • Devotions for Confession, and Communion
  • Devotions for the Poor Souls, and for the Way of the Cross
  • Prayers for the Various Special Necessities of a Christian Mother
  • Prayers to Some of the Special Patrons of Christian Mothers
  • Indulgenced Prayers
  • A short book of instructions for Christian Mothers on the Christian Training of Children

It contains almost everything a mother needs to nurture and grow her spiritual life, so that through their sanctification they may sanctify their husbands and children, and truly become the heart of the Catholic home.

Thought for the Day

Thought for the Day
by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

"WHAT WILL THIS NEW YEAR BE FOR US? God only knows, but by our desire for sanctification we can turn for help to Our Lord’s will to save our soul and all souls. How consoling it is to think that our everyday life can be transformed into numerous graces of sanctification and Redemption! So it was throughout the life of Our Lord and of the Virgin Mary." 
— Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (January 3rd Feast of St. Genevieve)

This little collection of quotes, taken from the sermons and writings of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, assigns a short reading to every day of the year. It is a beautiful and simple way to practice daily recollection and elevate the mind to God. This new collection of the Archbishop’s words helps to develop the daily habits that can shape our eternal destiny.

"With the shepherds, we will go to that little Child, and despite His frail appearance we will believe in His divinity, confronting all those who, on the contrary, think of doing away with the Child as soon as He is born. Herod is already sending his troops to kill all the infant boys less than two years old, hoping that this future King will be among those children. Madman! He is opposing the One who comes to save him." — Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (December 28th Feast of the Holy Innocents)

The Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the Means of Acquiring It
by Fr. François Nepveu

Few spiritual works present their central message with such clarity and practical wisdom as this little book by the French Jesuit, Fr. François Nepveu.

Part One presents eight compelling motivations for loving Christ, demonstrating His worthiness of our complete affection and arguing that this love must become the center of our existence.

Part Two offers eight practical means for cultivating this love. All are concrete daily practices that readers can implement immediately.

What distinguishes this short work is its combination of theological depth with practical accessibility. This translation makes Nepveu’s seventeenth-century spiritual wisdom available to contemporary readers seeking to deepen their love for Jesus Christ through focused devotion and rigorous spiritual discipline.

Purchase copies for your family, friends, and parish. This compact book makes an ideal gift for any Catholic seeking to grow and strengthen their faith.
