by St Therese of Lisieux
A saint’s wisdom often comes in words simple enough to carry into the busyness of daily life. The Thoughts of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus gathers the most poignant counsels, letters, and remembered sayings of the Little Flower into a practical manual for the soul. St. Thérèse, a Doctor of the Church, famously taught that sanctity is not reserved for the extraordinary, but is accessible to everyone through her "Little Way"—the path of doing small acts with immense love. This volume distills her profound insights on charity, detachment, and suffering into clear, immediate reflections that invite the reader to cultivate a deeper, more child-like confidence in God’s merciful love.

by Cardinal Henry Edward Manning
Sin is never small, private, or inconsequential. In this penetrating collection of sermons, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning confronts one of the most neglected realities of modern Christianity: the true nature of sin and its devastating effects upon the soul.
With theological precision and pastoral urgency, Manning exposes sin not as a mere mistake or psychological weakness, but as a rupture between man and God. Sin darkens the intellect, weakens the will, corrupts the conscience, and gradually reshapes the soul through habit. What begins as compromise eventually becomes captivity.
Yet this work is not written to condemn. It is written to awaken. By restoring a serious understanding of sin, Manning simultaneously reveals the magnitude of Divine Mercy. The soul that recognizes its sickness can still be healed. The sinner who repents can still be restored.
In an age that excuses nearly everything, Sin and Its Consequences restores moral clarity and calls the reader back to vigilance, repentance, and authentic conversion.

and The Office of the Dead
by Angelus Press
The best prayer is the prayer of the Church. Here it is—simpler than the Breviary, but essentially the same. Pray the inspired psalms of the Holy Ghost. Around since the 8th century. Hated by heretics, loved by friends of Our Lady. Recited by Saints John Damascene, Catherine of Siena, Vincent Ferrer, Louis of France, Bridget of Sweden, and many more.
The text of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Office of the Dead is that of the 1915 Benziger Brothers edition with updated punctuation and slight rewording of some familiar passages in English. The content of the Offices was revised in conformity with the norms of the typical edition of the Roman Breviary published in 1961.
Completely re-typeset with the Latin and English text on facing pages. Angelus Press offers this beautiful edition to the faithful as an eminently readable and truly affordable format. Printed in red and black text. Gold foil stamped, black, flexible softcover with rounded corners.

The Imitation of Christ leather hardcover
by Thomas à Kempis
The Imitation of Christ by Thomas À Kempis needs no introduction. For more than five centuries it has been the most popular spiritual book second only to the Sacred Scriptures. It presents the fundamental principles of the spiritual life. The Christian soul is invited to follow Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. As we study its contents we are convinced that without that Way there is no going, without that Truth there is no knowing, without that Life there is no real living.
This translation by Bishop Challoner, who revised the Douay-Rheims Bible in the 1740's, is the most beautiful and edifying available. The Imitation of Christ speaks to the soul of every Christian, reminding him of the brevity of earthly joy compared to the eternity of happiness with God. This spiritual classic belongs to every Christian library.
Other versions also available.

Daily Readings and Meditations to Pray Alone or as a Family
by Fr. Patrick Troadec
This volume is the last in the best-selling daily liturgical reader and meditation series. The meditations and reflections in this book cover different aspects of the Christian life, addressing our duties toward God, toward our neighbor, and toward ourselves. Every season presents an opportunity to renew our fervor with good, practical resolutions. With this goal in view, a certain number of meditations focus on the life we are leading and the meaning of the trials we endure. Still others bring us before the questions surrounding the close of our lives and the Last Four Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell). Finally, other meditations remind us that we are children of God and help us live daily in the company of God and His angels and saints.

Christian Reflections on the Interior Life
by St Claude La Colombière
Discover the wisdom of St. Claude La Colombière (1641–1682), the Jesuit saint who was the confessor to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and championed devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In Seeking the Heart of Christ: Christian Reflections on the Interior Life, you will find a treasury of spiritual reflections that inspire deeper faith, encourage virtue, and guide the soul toward holiness.
This remarkable collection of sermons explores essential topics of Christian living, including the sweetness of virtue and the humble submission to the will of God. La Colombière also offers profound meditations on the need for repentance, the benefits of frequent Communion, and the transformative power of the Mass. He addresses the practical struggles of life with guidance on how to deal with adversity while reminding readers of God’s mercy toward sinners as they face the last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell.
With pastoral sensitivity and spiritual depth, La Colombière’s theological insights offer a path to grow closer to Christ and align your life with His Sacred Heart. His advice to help ward against such vices as intemperance, impurity, and vainglory, for instance, makes this book a practical guide for every stage of life.
Let St. Claude La Colombière lead you to the heart of Christ.

What does it gain a man to have his whole life perfectly organized but to lose his soul?
It's so easy to lose sight of God in our busy world. But the Church gave us the answer from the very beginning when she structured her official prayer around a framework of the psalms prayed eight times a day so that within one week, all 150 psalms are said.
Prayers for all hours
Here you have the most critical hours of the Divine Office for the layman in the world. Prime is the perfect Morning Prayer, Compline the perfect night prayer, and Sext is for the middle of the day.
Join your voice with the Church and Her members!
This is better than private prayer; it's the prayer of the entire Mystical Body because you pray with one heart with the millions of other clerics, religious and laymen around the world who have prayed and are praying these exact same prayers, AND because you adopt the intentions of the psalmist as you pray.
When understood correctly (this edition has a short explanation preceding each psalm), these are the intentions for which Holy Mother Church wants us to pray for ourselves, for the Church and for all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ.
Our Lord, our Lady, and the Saints prayed these psalms.
Includes
- An 11-page Introduction explaining the Divine Office and how to pray it, including guidelines on how to interpret the psalms in a Catholic manner
- Table of Contents
- The prayers to be said before and after reciting the Divine Office
- Melodies in Gregorian notation for those who chant the office in common.
- In timeless Latin with parallel English translations.
- Beautiful edition with sewn binding
- Leatherette cover
- Rounded edges

Latin pronunciation guide bookmarker included.

A Manual for Christian Mothers
by a Priest of the Capuchin Order
"What on God's good earth is more glorious than this; to be a mother?"
With these words, Cardinal Mindzenty, summed up the glories of maternity, ordered toward the creation of new saints for the kingdom of God. And yet, the life of the mother is not an easy one. Between helping her husband, caring for her children, trips to school, the doctor, the grocery store, not to mention housework, cooking, and more, the life of a mother can lose it's proper focus: the glory of God. Add to this an increasingly hostile modern world who thinks little of mothers and offers little help and support and the situation is overwhelming.
To help Catholic mothers sanctify themselves in their state in life, and through that, to sanctify their homes as well, we have printed the original, unadulterated version of Mother Love, a complete prayer and devotional book, just for moms!
Originally written in the late 1800s by a priest of the Capuchin order, this "manual for Christian mothers" contains:
- Morning and Evening Prayers for Mothers
- Devotions for the Holy Rosary
- Points of Doctrine a Christian Mother Should Teach to Her Children
- Prayers at Mass
- The "Ten Commandments" of Christian Education
- Devotions for Confession, and Communion
- Devotions for the Poor Souls, and for the Way of the Cross
- Prayers for the Various Special Necessities of a Christian Mother
- Prayers to Some of the Special Patrons of Christian Mothers
- Indulgenced Prayers
- A short book of instructions for Christian Mothers on the Christian Training of Children
It contains almost everything a mother needs to nurture and grow her spiritual life, so that through their sanctification they may sanctify their husbands and children, and truly become the heart of the Catholic home.

with entries from - The Imitation of Christ
compiled by a Benedictine of Stanbrook, Worcester
I ought to grieve at the way I go to sleep at my prayer and during my thanksgiving, and yet, I do not grieve. Instead, I cannot help thinking that little children please their parents as much when they are asleep as when they are awake, that surgeons put their patients to sleep for an operation, in short, that the Lord knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust (Ps. cii).
Living a holy life can seem like a daunting task when the ordinary Christian compares himself to the great saints throughout the ages. He might think that he has not been given the opportunity, has not received the special graces, or simply does not know how to begin. This compilation is a reminder that the Lord made us, knows us, loves us and provides for us according to our condition and so we can please him, even when we are only sleeping.
When reading these excerpts from the Imitation of Christ and St Therese of Lisieux, one might forget that there are two distinct authors. What the one preached anonymously in the written word, the other exemplified in her daily life. By putting into practice what the Imitation of Christ teaches, the Little Flower shows us that every happening of our lives, whether big or small, pleasant or painful, can be turned into a childlike gift to our Heavenly Father. This book does not leave for us a set of rules to follow or tasks to accomplish. Rather, it is a daily inspiration and reminder that sanctity is achieved in and through each Christian's particular state of life and daily tasks.

“The peace of Christ is the Kingdom of Christ! This is the watchword of the Vicar of Christ. Rulers and people alike must render obedience to the Kingship of Christ if peace and happiness are to prevail on earth.” - Fr. Francis Xavier Lasance
In a time of rampant societal discord and moral decline, Christ's earthly kingship is needed more than ever.
Christ must be recognized both privately in our hearts and homes, and publicly in our nations and their institutions. This little collection of devotions to Christ the King is a spiritually beneficial tool to foster the respect and homage that we, in justice, owe as a society to our Savior, Creator, and King.
Booklet, size 6" x 4", pages
by St Francis de Sales
"You aim at true devotion, my dear Philothea, because, as a Christian, you know how acceptable it is to the Divine Majesty. But inasmuch as trifling errors at the outset of any undertaking are wont to increase rapidly as we advance, frequently becoming almost irreparable, it is needful that, first of all, you should ascertain wherein lies the virtue of devotion.” — St. Francis de Sales
Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but how many of us actually know how to get there?
Learn from the writings of St. Francis de Sales, the Doctor of Charity, on this very matter in his work that specifically addresses this most important question. The knowledgeable and holy Doctor of the Church writes in a way that is at once easy to read and suited to all readers, yet thorough, authoritative, reliable, kind, and gentle. He guides us to the knowledge that we are all called to the devout life. True devotion to God, as St. Francis de Sales points out, adorns every vocation. Additionally, St. Francis will explain that the devout life is a choice worthy for its own sake: “And our blessed Lord Himself assure[s] us that a devout life is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life.”
Addressed as a personal letter to Philothea (which means “lover of God”) this book covers all the parts of a devout life:
- Our desire to lead a devout life
- Our full resolution to do so
- How we should approach God in prayer and the Sacraments
- The practice of 16 important virtues
- Remedies against ordinary temptations
- And confirmation in our practice of devotion
