I want Holy God

I want Holy God
Life-Story of Little Nellie of Holy God
by Fr Bernard Des Ronces

When the nuns of the Good Shepherd Convent in Cork, Ireland, welcomed the little three-year-old invalid Nellie Organ on May 11, 1907, little did they think that the great Pope Saint Pius X would say of her a few short years later:

È un angeletto, she’s a little angel. Her patience was admirable, her resignation in suffering was so perfect. And then, she understood supernatural things in a superior manner. As for her innocence, no one can doubt of it. She’s an angel who lived with the Angels”.

Writing very shortly after her death, Father Bernard des Ronces bases his account of Little Nellie’s life on the most reliable sources. The result is possibly the most complete biography of the child who was chosen by God to encourage Pope Pius X to allow little children to receive Holy Communion. As the same Pope remarked when he was given Father de Ronces’ book in a private audience in 1912: “You’ve made a big book out of this small life!”

In it, the strands of Little Nellie’s life are interwoven with appropriate texts from the Saints and spiritual writers as well as beautiful poetry from Saint Therese of Lisieux and other authors.

“May God fill with every blessing all those who recommend frequent Communion to little boys and girls, proposing Little Nellie as their model” - Pope Saint Pius X

The Wonders of the Mass
The Wonders of the Mass
by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, EDM OP, STL 

The Holy Mass is the single greatest thing on Earth—and in Heaven. For the Eucharistic Sacrifice is the bridge between the two; it is the eternal self-oblation of Our Lord Jesus Christ to the Father, the same sacrifice of the God-Man as on Calvary, applied anew everywhere the Mass is prayed. The Mass unites us with God; it acts as a propitiatory sacrifice and brings God into our midst; it heals our soul and transforms us by God's grace; it offers the only satisfactory thanksgiving possible to give God, for it is God offering Himself to Himself; and far, far more—the wonders of the Mass are literally measureless.

Mainstay author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan offers in The Wonders of the Massan astounding guide to the meaning and reality of the sacred liturgy, quoting the saints and Our Lord (via revelations to mystics). There is no capacity in which Fr. O'Sullivan fails to extol the Mass—for truly, because it is Jesus Himself present in the Sacrament, we may offer the same praise to the Mass as to God.

"The Mass is the greatest wonder in the world," says Fr. O'Sullivan, seconded only by "the next greatest wonder. . .the indifference and ignorance of Catholics regarding the Mass." Let The Wonders of the Massteach you how limitless is the love of God for man in the holy liturgy.

Explanation of Holy Mass
Explanation of the Holy Mass
by Dom Prosper Guéranger

There has never been a book that so well elucidates how the active participation in the Holy Sacrifice, which is the duty of all the laity, can best be accomplished. This was written after the Liturgical Year and was the last book translated by Dom Laurence Shepard, Guéranger's disciple, before his own death.

The Holy Mass
The Holy Mass
by Dom Prosper Guéranger

Dom Prosper Guéranger (1805-1875) devoted himself to liturgical scholarship, polemics, and the establishment of Benedictine communities in France.

The Holy Mass is Guéranger's most extensive treatment of the heart of the liturgy and firmly established him as a leading liturgist. A step by step guide, On the Holy Mass offers some of his insights into the history and meaning of its prayers and ceremonies. 

In these days of widely-acknowledged liturgical crisis we need to be reminded of the history, character, the true texture of Catholic worship, the ability of the liturgy to do its own work without crass or illegitimate innovation, and that the priest is servant, not master, of the Church's rites.

The Holy Eucharist Our All
The Holy Eucharist Our All
The Holy Eucharist Our All
by Fr. Lucas Etlin, O.S.B.

The Holy Eucharist is our everything, because it is God Himself. It is the source and the summit of Christianity, the point of origin and the final destination of each of us. The Christian faithful have always given great honor to Our Lord truly present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Most Blessed Sacrament. But in this age of lawless contempt of what is sacred and spiteful indifference to (or even unbelief of) Our Lord's presence under the appearance of bread and wine, it behooves us ever more urgently to worship Him in the majestic humility of this Sacrament of Sacraments.

Fr. Etlin guides us through a meditation on the Blessed Sacrament as:
  • our life
  • our food
  • our expiation
  • our salvation
  • our treasury of grace
  • and, most of all, the best proof of the Divine Love for us.

This short book will evince from you an ever more humble, earnest, and gentle devotion to Christ in the Sacrament of His Body, present for all on every altar and in every tabernacle throughout the world. All the more fitting is the book's brevity, since upon reading, you will long to rush to God's dwelling place and lay your head against His breast. 

Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore! Oh, make us love Thee more and more!

Readings on the Saints
by Rev Jacobus de Voragine

Depicting the lives of the saints in an array of factual and fictional stories, The Golden Legend was perhaps the most widely read book, after the Bible, during the late Middle Ages. It was compiled around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, a scholarly friar and later archbishop of Genoa, whose purpose was to captivate, encourage, and edify the faithful, while preserving a vast store of information pertaining to the legends and traditions of the church. In this translation, the first in English of the complete text, William Granger Ryan captures the immediacy of this rich work, which offers an important guide for readers interested in medieval art and literature and, more generally, in popular religious culture. Arranged according to the order of saints' feast days, these fascinating stories are now combined into one volume. This edition also features an introduction by Eamon Duffy contextualizing the work.

Liturgical Year (hardcover)
Liturgical Year (hardcover)
by Dom Prosper Guéranger, O.S.B. Abbot of Solesmes

This fifteen volume set has full-color dust jackets, ribbon place markers, over 7418 pages total in 15 volumes.

This monumental liturgical work, comprising fifteen volumes, was the life-long labor of Benedictine Abbot Dom Guéranger. Writing with the heart of a seraphic contemplative, the holy abbot takes the reader on a daily spiritual pilgrimage through the liturgies of both the East and the West as he immerses the soul into the very life of the ecclesia orans et adorans (the church praying and adoring). The author achieves this by providing daily entries corresponding to the yearly cycle of the Church’s worship in both her divine seasonal feasts and those of her saints. Each day begins with a rich and provocative meditation on the mystery of faith to be celebrated together with the ecclesial history of the same; this is followed by excerpts from the Roman Missal’s Mass of the day (complete with Propers, i.e., Introits, Collects, Offertory prayers, etc ) as well a host of exquisite hymns from the divine office which are coupled with varied and sundry sequences garnered from other ancient Catholic rites.

The temporal and geographical universality of the Church is thusly honored; and the oneness of faith amply manifested in light of the axiomatic criterion: Lex orandi est lex credendi (the law of praying is the law of believing). If the essence of the Holy Mass is God, the Incarnate Victim, offering Himself to God, then the liturgy of the Mass is man, in union with Jesus Christ (per ipsum, et cum ipso, et in ipso), offering God to God. Truly, here is a priceless treasure awaiting your holy exploitation. Such was the strategy employed by the father of Saint Therese of Lisieux who made it a daily routine in the Martin home to read to his five daughters from these very volumes.

This new edition from Loreto replaces the hardcover set we published in the year AD 2000 in honor of the Jubilee Year of Faith proclaimed by the Holy Father. There are still a few miscellaneous volumes of that hardcover set available, but no complete sets are left. Loreto has spent hundreds of hours repairing broken text in the original publication which wass first prnted in the United States in the 1940’s. At the time of its first publication here the original English text from the original Dublin/London edition was somewhat expurgated in order to pacify some “Americanist” elements here in the US. Loreto has consulted the original English and French editions and we have added in to these volumes all that was deleted from the original Solesmes texts. Thus you have here the complete text as it was intended to be published in a handy and easily readable format.

This is a book to be read and studied for a lifetime. Even a once through reading will immeasurably increase your knowledge and love of the history and true liturgical life of the Church. We also highly recommend the companion to this set, Explanation of the Holy Mass.

Includes:
Propers in Latin and English for every day of the liturgical year (temporal cycle and sanctoral cycle)
Assorted Propers and Hymns from liturgies of non-Roman Rites (Byzantine, Chaldean, Maronite, Mozarabic, Ambrosian, etc)
Propers of Sunday Vespers
Propers of First and Second Vespers for Feast Days
Thorough commentary on all of this.
Introductions to each season of the liturgical year
Appropriate morning and evening prayers for each season
The best ways to hear Mass during each season
The best dispositions of soul for receiving Holy Communion in each season and much, much more!
