Wartime Prayerbook
by Archbishop Fulton Sheen

A Wartime Prayerbook written for dangerous days like ours made to fit in pocket or purse! Our parents before us understood that strife is rarely far from even the best of us, and they girded themselves for warfare, actual and spiritual. Among the wisest of men who shepherded them was Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who won their hearts with his warm, engaging broadcast personality . . . but in secret he put on the armor of God. World War II thrust temptation, fear, danger, and death on the men and women Archbishop Sheen had formed through his popular radio shows in the 1930's. Knowing that many of his listeners were now beyond the sound of his voice, fighting and dying on battlefields afar, he wrote this pocket-size prayerbook so that they, too, could put on the armor of God as they faced their new trials, physical and spiritual. Recently, a friend showed us his tattered World War II copy. We recognized immediately that with the new dangers we face since September 11, the time had come to draft this old prayer book back into service. Yes, it's for soldiers (and you should send it to every soldier you know so he will have it in his breast pocket when he needs it); but it's for you and me, too. Archbishop Sheen knew that no matter what our circumstances may be, the deadliest enemy we face is armed not with a gun but with temptation. In dangerous, uncertain times like ours, the Devil lures us quickly into lust, anger, hatred, and despair. Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book will help keep you from these vices so that you, too, can put on the armor of God and triumph over evil in our day.

The Covenants of Christ
Select Writings
by St John Chrysostom

A saint’s own writings, as Saint John Henry Newman once professed, give the “real” Life of that saint, expressing his or her “moral unity, identity, growth, continuity, personality.” Of all the Greek Church Fathers, none left to posterity a written legacy as expansive and eloquent as did Saint John Chrysostom; thus none is more readily knowable than this pastoral theologian of the fourth century. His commentaries and homilies on Scripture; his discourses against heretics; his instructions in morality and piety; his pane­gyrics for saints; his dogmatic works on such topics as the divinity of Christ, Divine Providence, and the priesthood; and his hundreds of letters from exile, all exhibiting an unreserved trust in God—by means of these, in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, Saint John “passed on the Church's tradition and reliable doctrine in an age of theological controversies,” and “reaffirmed the discovery that God loves each one of us with an infinite love and therefore desires salvation for us all.”

Compiled and translated by Mary H. Allies, Covenants of Christ: Selected Writ­ings comprises forty-six of Saint John Chrysostom’s homilies (some whole, others in part) as well as eleven of his letters, and shows that the lessons of the Golden-mouthed remain both timely and profoundly instructive.

Manna of the Soul
compiled by Fr Francis Xavier Lasance

This is a beautiful and very useful prayerbook. Originally put together by the prolific Father Lasance, this book was reccommended by Pope Pius XI. It was printed in a large font with plenty of spacing and was designed for easy reading in the low light conditions found in many Catholic churchs. Loreto has produced a modern edition on bright white paper for ease of reading in places where the lighting is less than adequate or for those people who either need magnifiers for close up reading or whose eyesight is less than what it used to be. This is the only truly large print prayerbook available with all of the old traditional prayers. 1926 Edition

Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount
by St Augustine of Hippo

“The kingdom of heaven is the perfect and highest wisdom of the rational soul . . . in which only the righteous and holy shall reign.” — Saint Augustine

Step onto the mount and listen as one of Christianity’s greatest theologians, the Doctor Gratiae —“Doctor of Grace”—unlocks the mysteries of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.

With elegance and depth, St. Augustine reveals the eternal relevance of this sacred discourse, guiding readers toward a life rooted in humility, righteousness, and divine love. From the Beatitudes, to the “Our Father”, and the call to be “the light of the world”, Augustine’s insights bridge the Gospel’s divine truth with the human longing for purpose and peace.

Whether you, dear readers, are seeking spiritual renewal or theological enrichment, St. Augustine’s commentaries on Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount are a beacon of light for all who long to follow Christ’s path of holiness.

The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ
by Archbishop Alban Goodier

This absorbing account provides you with an intimate look at the sufferings of Our Lord through the minds and hearts of those closest to Him. You’ll see Jesus through the eyes of His apostles, of those who condemned Him, of His executioners, and of those He met along the way of the Cross. Drawing from historical research, culture, and his own profound spiritual insights, Archbishop Alban Goodier, S.J., masterfully intersperses scriptural accounts and narration to bring the Passion of Jesus fully to life.

You will be moved by subtle observations, emotions, and actions swirling around Jesus as He endures His most terrible and triumphant moments. You will come to understand Judas Iscariot’s thoughts and motives in betraying Jesus, St. John’s personal intuitions about the agony of Jesus’ Heart, St. Peter’s impetuousness, and Jesus’ unconditional love.

As he guides you through this introspective contemplation of the Gospels, Fr. Goodier reveals Jesus’ thoughts, feelings, and actions and explains the sufferings Jesus felt in His soul.

Most significantly, you will see who Jesus is for you and who He longs you to be both for Him and for others. We need “active compassion,” explains Archbishop Goodier, to unite our sufferings to those of Jesus and to relate to the anguish of His Heart. Reflecting upon the agony of Jesus in the garden, the travesty of His condemnation, and the diabolical tortures that He endured, you will see as never before the immense sufferings that only the God-Man could abide.

Through the eyes of the saints, the great lovers of God, you will begin truly to see Jesus, the pain He bore, and why He suffered. Our Lord’s words challenge and comfort contemporary believers as much as they did those who first followed in the footsteps of Christ and His apostles. Once you enter into Archbishop Goodier’s meditations, your understanding of the humility, mercy, and love of Christ will deepen, and you will never experience His Passion in the same way again.
