Saint Philomena
Saint Philomena
The Wonder Worker
by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, EDM OP, STL
St. Philomena is perhaps the most extraordinary Saint in the history of the Catholic Church. When the relics of this 13-year-old virgin martyress were discovered in the Roman Catacombs in 1802, she became almost overnight one of the most popular saints in the Church, earning the nickname of "the Wonder-Worker" because of the countless remarkable favors that she sent to those who prayed to her. For a century and a half there was a worldwide Catholic devotion to St. Philomena, approved by many Popes. But amazingly, since the 1960s, she has been almost forgotten.
This little book by beloved TAN mainstay author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan gives the fascinating story of St. Philomena. Fr. O'Sullivan tells of her martyrdom, her miracles, her relics, her partnership with the Curé of Ars, and the great miracle involving Pauline Jaricot, as well as recounting many other true stories of "the dear Little Saint's" generous answers to those who invoke her.
God obviously wishes to give out His gifts and favors through the hands of St. Philomena, and it is His will that that we ask her for them. These pages will give new hope to all who need a special friend in Heaven to answer their prayers.
May this little book help to open up the floodgates of heavenly gifts so that once again this sweet young Saint will become known by that beautiful title: "Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker!"

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.

An Easy Way to Become a Saint
An Easy Way to Become a Saint
by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, EDM OP, STL
While attaining sanctity is the most important thing in the world (for ourselves and for others, because everyone benefits from one's personal sanctification), sanctity need not be seen as the hardest thing in the world. It is always the greatest challenge, but nothing "extraordinary" is required of us. In fact, the perfection of the ordinary is precisely where God calls most of us to grow: "Whoever is faithful in the least thing also will also be faithful in greater things" (Luke 16:10).
Thus, in An Easy Way to Become a Saint, Fr. Paul O'Sullivan offers an optimistic book showing how any ordinary Catholic can become holy—and supremely so. Every day there are innumerable opportunities to become holier, hidden for us to find. Father O'Sullivan shows us how, writing with an assurance of success that is totally convincing and infectious.

Providing lovely anecdotes from the lives of the Saints, Fr.

All about the Angels
All About the Angels
by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, EDM OP, STL
"Their angels in the heavens gaze always upon the face of My Father, Who is in the heavens." —cf. Matthew 18:10
Angels are often the first to go when people begin to question Catholic doctrine. However, it is a definitive tradition of the Faith that the angels and other spirits are real and present—even more so than we are—in Creation. Not to mention that Our Lord said so Himself! Each one of us has a guardian angel, and there are myriads of other angels from all ranks of the nine choirs ready to aid us if we but call upon them, our "bigger brothers and sisters," as it were, in heaven.
In All about the Angels, author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan offers a wonderful exposition on the bodiless spirits of heaven, showing how they visit people many times in the past and present. They would do so still if we but asked! Fr. O'Sullivan relates how the angels:
All about the Angels contains beautiful stories about the great archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, along with stories from the lives of St. Gemma Galgani, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Bosco, and many others! Let Fr. O'Sullivan's words inspire in you a desire for greater communion with the angels, who reflect the glory of God most perfectly.
