Nine day preparation for spiritual warfare
by Cathal OhAimheirgin, M.A.
"At that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people." Daniel 12:1
Now is the time for Catholics everywhere to consecrate themselves to the angel who stood, millennia ago, against Satan and vanquished him to the deepest region of Hell. Take up this ancient devotion to our most powerful angelic defender.
Over the course of the last century, as we measure the decline of civilization and faith, it is no surprise that the devotion to St. Michael has diminished. The removal of the Leonine prayers as well as St. Michael’s name from the prayers of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass leave little doubt that this glorious victor and powerful intercessor has all but been forgotten by the world.
This little book aggregates the history of devotions that have been offered to St. Michael and presents them once again to be used and spread throughout the world.
This Book Contains:
- Method of the Devotion
- Novena to St. Michael
- Acts of Consecration to St. Michael
- The Chaplet of St. Michael
- Litanies to St. Michael
- Novena to St. Michael
- Michael of the Morning Prayer
- Pope Leo XIII’s Short Prayer to St. Michael
Consecration to St. Michael is a powerful weapon. Consecrating yourself to St. Michael is simply an act of dedicating yourself to his service, for which in return he offers you his help and protection. Such a consecration does not take away from a person’s consecration to Mary or St. Joseph. Consecration to St. Michael only complements these highly recommended practices.

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.

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

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)

For Sundays and First Class Feasts

Learning the Mass
A Manual for Seminarians and Priests
by Fr Walter J. Schmitz, S.S., S.T.D.
First published in 1960, this instructive book by rubrician Fr. Walter J. Schmitz, gives detailed instructions on how to properly say the traditional Roman Mass (Missale Romanum), and has been treasured by priests and seminarians for decades for its brief and concise explanations of how the celebrant offers Low Mass.
For the explanation of the Mass, texts are arranged into parallel columns, with one side presenting in English the minute actions made by the celebrant with his hands (especially when dealing with the consecrated Species), eyes and body, while the other side gives the actual Latin text as seen in the missal for comparison. In addition to many helpful tips, authoritative footnotes are also included.
There is also a chapter on bination (celebrating two Masses consecutively, hence how to avoid breaking the necessary fast) rubrics, Requiem Masses, distributing Communion, and executing the ceremonies of Benediction. Also included is a nota bene about some minor revisions made in 1962 not contained within the book due to its publishing date.
This compact book is a must for any cleric learning to celebrate the traditional Roman Mass, or even for just brushing up on the Mass or Benediction rubrics!
