The Summa Domestica
The Summa Domestica
by Leila Marie Lawler
Most wives possess a deep, existential intuition that they bear primary responsibility for creating the home environment, in cooperation with their husbands, who protect and provide for it. When Leila Lawler started out as a young wife and then became a mother, she had no idea how to keep a house, manage laundry, or plan and prepare meals, let alone entertain and inspire toddlers and select a curriculum to pass on the Faith.
She spent decades excavating deeply rooted cultural memories that had been buried under an avalanche of feminist ideology. Lawler developed and meticulously presented these on her popular website, Like Mother, Like Daughter, and has now collected them in this comprehensive, three-volume set to help women who desire a proficient and systematic approach to home life.
The Summa Domestica comprises three volumes: Family Life, which delves into the essentials of establishing the home; Education, which explores the basics of teaching children and preparing them to learn on their own; and Housekeeping, which presents detailed instructions on taking care of the house, meals, and laundry in an active and populous household.
All at once lively, funny, calming, and complete, The Summa Domestica an indispensable how-to book on making and keeping a home that will serve your family best.

The Christian Mother
'Rev. Cramer begins at the door of the Church with the mother who has come for God?s blessing upon her as a mother. He continues to explain along with this beautiful ceremony, the vocation of Motherhood and the virtues necessary to fulfill this important vocation.Rev Cramer explains how a young woman should approach the sacrament of matrimony and then assists her in the proper education of her children. After all the important advice on raising children many prayers are included covering all the situations of a mother and her children.This book, considered timely at the turn of the century, is more so now since in the past many lessons that may have been overlooked by mothers were taught by the sisters atCatholic schools and mothers could also find true Catholic answers to the circumstances of daily life.

This treasure for mothers will provide the advise mothers need to raise their children and the prayers she should daily raise to heaven to request graces for her family.MOTHERS WILL LEARN: * Duties toward their childrenand how to fulfill them * The proper love they should have toward their children * The examples both good and bad that they give to their children by their actions * How and when to introduce the children to the truths of our holy religion * How to behave with regard to the faults of the children & how to rid their children of faults including: * Stubbornness * Vanity * Lies * Irritability * Anger * Selfishness, and more.. * The importance of modesty and innocence * The mother?s direction of her children * God?s word concerning parents and their duties * How to pray for her children and herself * The duties of a mother of a priestPRAYERS: * To offer Holy Mass to obtain the graces necessary to fulfill her vocation. * To offer Holy Mass for her children. * To obtain the grace to give good example * For the most important situations and necessities of a mother, * To obtain the gifts of the Holy Ghost * Prayers for children preparing for their firstConfession and for children preparing for their first Communion * The Holy Way of the Cross to be made by the Christian mother for the benefit of her children * The Rosary of the Christian mother * To obtain for a son a vocation to the priesthood * Many more!152 pages, illustrated, smythe-sewn, hard cover. 165pp'
The Education of Her Children and Her Prayer
Mamma Margherita
Mamma Margherita
Model Mother
by Fr Augustin Auffray, SDB
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”, goes the old saying. This has rarely been so true as in the case of Mamma Margherita Bosco, mother of the great apostle of youth, Saint John Bosco.
A peasant by birth, Margherita already demonstrated virtue, courage and common sense as a young girl. After her husband’s death, she single-handedly raised her three boys while running the family farm. Then, when her beloved John called on her help for his budding Oratory in Turin, she generously answered his call. She once more became a mother – this time of hundreds of boys in Turin.
Partly using material from his monumental biography of Don Bosco and partly relying on the Saint’s memoirs, Father Auffray paints as complete a picture as possible of this great woman.
Father Auffray wrote this book in order to give mothers an example they could follow and in order to encourage them in the difficulties inherent in their sacred task of raising children.
“We offer to all women who feel in their heart the desire to be “mothers of a holy people” this model of energy, abnegation and Christian spirit in the education of her children”. Father Augustin Auffray (Preface)

Sculptor of Character
A Tribute
by Rev. John A. O'Brien, Ph. D, LL, D.
The love of a mother for her child is the climax of all love- as strong as the great rugged Alpine Mountain peaks, as tender as the breath of an angel, as infinite as the measureless waters of the ocean, as changeless as the stars that shine eternally in the skies. A mother’s love is unselfish, self-sacrificing, changeless and inspiring. It is the wonderful alchemy of a mother’s love that transmutes the failures of her boy into successes in her eyes. “No theme,” says F.A. Stowe, “has stirred to a greater depths the passion of men than a mother’s love.” It is the glory of motherhood that she gives to the world the noblest example of complete self-sacrifice.

Way to Happiness
Way to Happiness
by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Every human person seeks happiness, but few find it, because they have not discovered the source of all happiness: God. In Way to Happiness, Futon Sheen reflects on the most fundamental aspects of our lives: love, politics, motherhood, work, teens, forgiveness, rest, meditation, and more.
In a culture stricken with anxiety, boredom, despair, and fear, Sheen desires to reignite healing, hope, and contentment in the reader. While the secular world holds the mistaken belief that hunger for infinity can be satisfied by an infinity of material things, Sheen warns that they really wish for the infinity of divine love. Addressing the philosophy of pleasure, Sheen reminds the reader of the centrality of self-discipline and detachment.
At the heart of the Way to Happiness is heroically living out the spirit of charity: love of God and love of neighbor. To achieve a spirit of service and self-donation, a strong interior life is a perequisite. True peace is born in meditation.
Lastly, Sheen provides a blueprint to overcome bad habits through introspection, avoiding the occasion of sin, willing the good, and a right philosophy of life. In an age when so few people have time to make a retreat, allow the retreat master, Sheen, to take you on a spiritual journey that will spur you on to holiness. For anyone seeking a clear path to a happy and saintly life, the Way to Happiness will be your guide.

This booklet contains practical advice on the subjects of dating and choosing a spouse from the Catholic theological viewpoint. Father Lovasik points out clearly what one's moral obligations are in this area, providing an invaluable aid to youthful readers.
Additionally, he demonstrates that Catholic marriage is different from secular marriage and why it is important to choose a partner who is of the Catholic Faith if one would ensure his or her personal happiness in marriage. With the rampant dangers to impurity today, with the lax moral standards of a large segment of our society, with divorce at epidemic levels, Clean Love in Courtship will be a welcome source of light and guidance to Catholics serious about their faith.

Friendship and Chastity for young adults and older teens
by Fr Gerald Kelly, S.J., A.M., S.T.D.
“I read this booklet carefully and found it to be excellent. It is very complete and is both solid in its principles and balanced in its application. St. John Bosco called purity ‘the most beautiful of all virtues.’ We might go further and call it a key to the restoration of Christendom. For from pure women will come true and noble-minded men, and only from such men—pure by definition—will come the restoration of all things in Christ.” —Fr. Gerard Beck, SSPX
Topics:
True Friendship • General Sex Attraction • Personal Sex Attraction • Physical Sex Attraction • Choice of a Marriage Partner • “Falling Out of Love” • The Divine Plan of Reproduction • The Meaning of Chastity • God’s Law of Chastity • Practical Moral Principles • Some Practical Applications • The Beauty of Chastity • Celibacy
“This little book, read prayerfully, by older teens and young adults. will be both an encouragement and a tremendous help to purity. In a world that has lost its moral compass to the point that even decent young men and women can easily lose their way, the author gives a clear and balanced explanation of what it means to be pure. The principles on which he bases his treatise are rock solid, the examples enlightening, and the application to real life truly helpful without falling into the trap of being preachy or out of date. The chapter on the divine plan of reproduction is explicit but in an appropriate way.” —Fr. Gerard Beck, SSPX
