The Visions of Blessed Veronica of Milan
by Bl Veronica of Milan
Blessed Veronica of Milan (1445–1497) was a most humble and devout lay sister in the Augustinian Order. Despite her lowly position within the order and the fact that she was nearly illiterate, Bl. Veronica maintained an inspiring disposition of joy, humility, and piety. Offered in English for the first time, The Life of Christ Revealed contains her many detailed visions of Our Lord.
Blessed Veronica’s visions faithfully reflect the accounts of the life of Our Lord found in the Gospels. Yet in many cases, they add beautiful and touching details of color, imagery, and emotion. These details fill out many of the basic Gospel narratives, and they often harmonize the accounts of the different Evangelists.
Within these pages, readers will encounter a multitude of striking and fascinating descriptions, including details of the arduous journey of the Holy Family to Egypt, and their encounters with gangs of bandits along the way; a description of the food, costumes, and even dancing at the wedding feast at Cana; and many of the private thoughts and feelings of both Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The passion of Christ in particular is described in a most heartrending and poignant manner. If you enjoy the writings of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, you will surely find spiritual fruits in Bl. Veronica’s visions, which precede Emmerich’s by some 350 years. As you read this book, let Bl. Veronica’s visions guide you to a deeper understanding and love of Our Lord.

by Warren H. Carroll
With gripping detail and firsthand accounts that read like a novel, renowned author Warren Carroll unveils the events that led up to the divine intervention in which Our Lady of Guadalupe was sent to an Aztec, known now as St. Juan Diego. Here is the untold story of the faith and valor of the Spanish as they encounter an early Aztec culture marked by an immorality and an idolatry of epic proportions, along with the hardships they endured in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
You will see the hard reality of Aztec culture — the homage that terrorized souls would pay to the satanic rulers who oppressed them and the widespread practice of human sacrifice in worship of chilling gods with diabolical titles. All this is juxtaposed against a Catholic culture propagated by the indomitable Queen Isabel of Spain.
In these gripping pages, you will discover:
- Leaders such as Hernan Cortes, in his own words, and what inspired him to never sound retreat
- A little-known but influential woman named Lady Marina
- Whether it was just for the Spanish to reclaim Mexico
- Astonishing conversions and the multitudinous Baptisms that occurred
- How the Spanish would charge the Aztec warriors despite the 10,000-to-1 odds against them!
- Medical evidence of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s world-changing apparition
The exacting researcher Carroll recounts the astonishing speed with which the Spanish overtook the Aztec empire, one of the greatest conquests in history. You will learn about infamous defeats, including the Night of Sorrow, and apocalyptic-like battles between the ferocious warriors that resulted in the foundation of the Church in Mexico. You will behold brilliant tactical maneuvers, diplomacy at its best, and, most significantly, how Mary helped secure the victory of life over a dark culture of death.
This book is ultimately a testament to God’s immeasurable power and mercy, which we are invited to experience even now.

The Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Shroud of Turin
by Thomas Sennott
This is the only book of its kind on the two most famous and controversial images in existence-the holy image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the tilma of Juan Diego, and the sacred image of the crucified Christ on the holy Shroud of Turin. Written by a scientist-religious, it is a good rebuttal of those who would say either of these images is a fraud. Besides introducing the reader to the story behind these miraculous images of Jesus and Mary, it is an excellent resource book bringing the reader up to date with the latest findings from experts in the field of sindonology. The fraudulent carbon-fourteen test of 1998, which has been rejected by the prestigious scientific journal, Science Today, is answered by hard factual evidence to the contrary. Illustrated with many photos.

Revelations of St. Bridget
on the Life and Passion of Our Lord and the Life of His Blessed Mother
by St. Bridget of Sweden
Saint Bridget of Sweden was one of the most privileged mystics in the history of the Church. Born to a wealthy family, she was given in marriage to a pious and good-hearted nobleman, with whom she raised eight children, including the future Saint Catherine of Sweden. When her husband died, Bridget founded an order of nuns, the Order of the Most Holy Savior, more commonly called the Bridgettines. She laboured until her death to spread her order and boost morality and devotion in the decadent 14th century Church. She also labored to bring the papacy back to Rome from Avignon. In all her efforts, she was wise, charitable, and outstanding in sanctity.
Devout from a young age, Saint Bridget also received numerous visions of Our Lord and Our Lady, including intimate details of Our Lady's early life, the Holy Family in Nazareth, and the Passion, first recorded in 1492. Revelations of St. Bridget provides excerpts from these eye-opening visions, which bring into focus many unknown facets of the hidden life of Our Lord and His Mother. These visions have been approved as orthodox and worthy of pious belief by the Holy See. The insights received by Saint Bridget are matched by very few other mystics', showing her privileges before the Throne of God. This volume also includes the famous 15 Prayers attributed to her, popular devotions in the late Middle Ages and our own era.
Do not miss these stirring and vivid accounts from one of the greatest foundresses of the Church's history. Imbued throughout her visions is the undeniable spirit of piety, devotion, and saintliness that characterized St. Bridget's earthly life—and by which she merited to become privy to such sublime mysteries.

Our Lady of Fatima
by William Thomas Walsh
"The future of our civilization, our liberties, our very existence may depend upon the acceptance of her commands." --William Thomas Walsh
This was the conclusion reached by William Thomas Walsh, distinguished author, historian, and teacher, after he had thorougly investigated the miracle of Fatima. Here is the whole remarkable story of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three simple children at an obscure Portuguese village in 1917. Her prophecies of World War II and the rise of communism, her plea to humanity to do penance, her promise that world peace and the conversion of Russia would take place if her messages were heeded -- these are some of the dramatic events in this fascinating account of a modern miracle.
Our Lady of Fatima is a magnificent re-creation of an event whose effects are still reverberating throughout the world -- the appearance in person of the Mother of God with a "peace plan from heaven."

from The Mystical City of God
by Ven. Mary of Agreda
Taken from the ever popular Mystical City of God, this illuminating abridgment describes heretofore unknown mysteries in the life of Our Lady, giving an account of numerous events and miracles in her life, as seen in vision by Venerable Mary of Ágreda. The Divine Life of the Most Holy Virgin describes Our Lady's vital role in many events of Christ's life, from His Infancy through His Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension—plus her life in the early Church, including her miraculous trip to see St. James in Spain, how her body was assumed into Heaven, and much, much more. Particularly revealing are the accounts of how the Angels served Our Lady and of Lucifer's continual warfare against her and against the Catholic Church.
From this book, we can realize something of Our Lady's greatness by learning of the wonderful favors bestowed on her by God, such as infused supernatural knowledge from the moment of her conception, the visible presence of the Angels, the continual Eucharistic presence of Our Lord within her after she received Holy Communion, and her frequent visits to Heaven during her life on earth. In sum, The Divine Life of the Most Holy Virgin gives a whole new appreciation for the greatness of the Blessed Virgin Mary, showing the amazing heights to which God has raised her.
Mary of Jesus of Ágreda, O.I.C., also known as the Abbess of Ágreda, was a Franciscan abbess and spiritual writer, known especially for her extensive correspondence with King Philip IV of Spain and reports of her bilocation between Spain and its colonies in New Spain. She was a noted mystic of her era and received many visions, some of which appear in The Divine Life of the Most Holy Virgin, along with ecstasies.

Hardcover, 2144 pages
by Raphael Brown
Generations of devout Catholics, including many learned theologians and writers, have derived great spiritual benefits from a careful reading of the private revelations here compiled, those of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Ven. Mary of Agreda, primarily, along with those of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schoenau. From the birth of Mary to her Coronation in Heaven, this book provides the reader with remarkable insights into the life of Our Lady, and an unmatched depth of understanding of the Holy Family.
What is also shown with utmost clarity is that Mary is a model of the interior life, and an example of perfect submission to the will of God. "As we read," writes Dom Prosper Gueranger, "our heart slowly takes fire, our soul feels desires for virtue which it had not hitherto experienced, the mysteries of faith appear more luminous to us, bit by bit the world and its hopes vanish, and the longing for the good things of Heaven, which seemed to have been dozing within us, awakens with new fervor."

by Antonio Socci
This important discussion of the Third part of the famous Secret of Fatima that was supposed to be released to the world in the 1940s or in 1960 AT THE VERY LATEST is as timely as ever. When asked why it must be revealed at the time of her death or 1960 WHICHEVER CAME FIRST, Sr. Lucia said "because it will be clearer then." Clearer in 1960 than in 1942. That is interesting. Of course John XXIII was Pope in 1960 and he refused to do as Our Lady asked and reveal her words to the world. Her words have NEVER been revealed. That is the conclusion of many of the finest students of Fatima. Why not is the question so many have asked throughout the years.
This fascinating inquiry into the theories and the truths of the most disconcerting mystery of the 20th Century was a huge bestseller in Europe.
On June 26, 2000, Vatican officials (including Cardinal Bertone) released what they claim was the Third Secret of Fatima. They further said that it was a prediction of the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981. Antonio Soccis, an acclaimed Italian journalist and television personality, originally sided with the Vatican's interpretation of the Third Secret.
Upon closer investigation of this matter, the evidence led him to the conclusion that there is another document of the Third Secret containing the actual words of Our Lady. So far, the Vatican is still hiding this text while claiming that all is released.
Antonio Socci, for the first time, in this book produces the testimony of a still-living witness from the inner circle of Pope John XXIII, to prove his point. This book, by a friend of Pope Benedict XVI and former friend of Cardinal Bertone, has caused a public sensation and debate.
Far from being a "dead issue" the urgent message of Our Lady to the shepherd children of Fatima is now being more critically discussed and examined than ever before.

Medjugorje Complete
The Definitive Account of the Visions and Visionaries
by Donal Anthony Foley
Medjugorje Complete: The Definitive Account of the Visions and Visionaries looks at the alleged visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Medjugorje, their origins, and their impact on the Catholic Church. It is an expanded, revised, and updated version of two previous works, Understanding Medjugorje and Medjugorje Revisited, published in 2006 and 2011 respectively.
Medjugorje Complete focuses on the transcripts of the original tapes of the visionaries made in June 1981. It also looks at the credibility of the visions and the visionaries, demonstrating serious problems in accepting Medjugorje as genuine. It also examines the role of theologians and the Hercegovina Franciscans in promoting Medjugorje, and its tangled historical and religious background, as well as its links with the Charismatic Renewal. In sum, it examines all the relevant evidence about Medjugorje, and concludes that, despite some “good fruits,” it does not appear to be genuinely supernatural. If you want to know the truth about Medjugorje, then—forty years after the story began—Medjugorje Complete offers the definitive account.
