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!

Meditations and Considerations for the Monthly Recollection and the Annual Retreat.
Together with A Prayer-Book for All Ordinary Needs.
Edited by Fr Francis Xavier Lasance

The present work seeks to cultivate in souls the spirit of prayer, and to lead them to union with God; it wishes to be helpful to all who, by means of meditation and prayer, are intent upon walking with God in the way of righteousness and perfection; it is designed especially to be of service to devout souls.

Road to happiness

Road to happiness
Thoughts on The Way of Salvation, The Last Things, The Following of Christ, The Imitation of the Saints, The Patronage of the Angels, and The Eight Beatitudes.
by Fr Francis Xavier Lasance

This book wants to make you remember the things that tend to your peace and happiness, the things that count for eternity; it wants to be your friendly mentor in the storm and stress of life, if you will have the grace to accept it as such, to the end that, by prayerfully meditating on the subjects proposed for your consideration, you may grow in the knowledge and love of God, may strive constantly after that which is the will of God - your personal sanctification and, in the imitation of Jesus Christ, your divine Master and Model, you may practise the virtues proper to your state of life, as inculcated especially in the Eight Beatitudes, so that you may ultimately achieve your destiny and one day be admitted to the City of the Saints, the everlasting happiness of which is indicated by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Corinthians: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love Him,” and which is described by St. John in the Apocalypse : “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more; for the former things are passed away.”

Pamphlets for the Faithful
Pamphlets for the Faithful
by Fr William Doyle

“One of the vital concerns for Fr Willie Doyle in his life as a Christian and a priest was holiness, not only seeking it for himself, but encouraging it and supporting it in those he served”, writes Fr John Hogan in his Introduction.

Indeed, the invitation to perfection is held out to all, and Fr Willie in his pamphlets offers practical wisdom to both laity and religious in pursuing the life of holiness.

With a brief introduction to Fr Willie's life and writings written by Fr John Hogan, Diocesan Postulator for the Cause of the Servant of God, Fr Willie Doyle, Pamphlets for the Faithful presents all of Fr Willie's published works, originally written in the form of pamphlets. These pamphlets cover such topics as:

  • the dignity and beauty of religious life.
  • advice on how to discern whether one has a vocation.
  • a short guide for priests on offering the Mass.
  • the great fruits that retreats produce for the laity and how to preserve their beneficial effects.
  • practical advice for laity and spiritual directors in combatting that most pestering vice: scrupulosity.

Even though some of the pamphlets have as their immediate audience those who are pursuing priesthood or the religious life, they are indeed “pamphlets for the faithful.” Regardless of one’s state in life, all five pamphlets, Fr Doyle’s only published works, continue to guide souls in every state of life down the way of perfection.

The Prayers of Saint Th?r?se of Lisieux
The Prayers of Saint Therese of Lisieux
The Prayers of Saint Therese of Lisieux
by St Therese of Lisieux

Complete collection of Therese's independent prayers, translated from the critical edition, with 9 pages of photos. "For me," wrote Therese of Lisieux toward the end of her life, "prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trial as well as joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus." Besides the countless spontaneous prayers found throughout her autobiography, letters, poetry, and plays, St. Therese left behind 21 additional independent prayers, from every period of her life, here collected for the first time.

In this book we find prayers to the Infant Jesus and the Holy Face, prayers to Mary and the saints, prayers composed in joy and sorrow, prayers written for her novices and missionary brothers. All of them reflect the Saint's passionate love of God, which she wished to share with friends near and far. The highlight of this volume is the first critical text of Therese's famous "Offering to Merciful Love," fully annotated. Ample background materials explain the setting and significance of each prayer. Scholars will find here essential new information for the study of the Saint's doctrine; general readers will find this book an indispensable resource for learning to pray as Therese did. "It is prayer, it is sacrifice which give me all my strength; these are the invincible weapons Jesus has given me. They can touch souls much better than words."

Dominican Life
Dominican Life
by Fr Ferdinand Joret, O.P.

Dominican Life, by the French Dominican Joret, is a masterful treatise for Dominican Tertiaries or anyone who with an affinity for St. Dominic and his sons to seek union with the Divine Will through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Children of this family of St. Dominic, forming themselves on the traditions and examples of seven centuries, are bound together within God’s Church by ties that transcend differences of race and language and are more enduring than the bonds of earthly kinship.

This book is intended as a guide and manual to teach the spirit of St. Dominic so that the reader might learn more about the Dominican Order and absorb its spirit. Although it was written for lay Dominicans, it will prove instructive and useful to all members of the Dominican Order as well as any laity interested in finding the character and spiritual charism of St. Dominic.

Tracing the nature of the Dominican Tertiary’s profession, Joret then goes on to consider solidarity with the order, Christ and the Blessed Virgin, the Mass and Breviary, Prayer life, conforming life to Christ through the order, and the significance of the colors of the Dominican habit.

This new edition has been completely re-typeset in full agreement with the original. English spelling of words has been maintained from the original.

A Novena to Pope Pius X
A Novena to Pope Pius X
by Father Lovasik.

First printed with Imprimatur in 1954. This booklet is written to further devotion to one of the greatest of modern saints, Saint Pius X. Even in his lifetime he was called Il Santo - the Saint, and Pope Pius XII justly calls him “The Providential Saint of Our Times.” There is a very close relationship of spirit between these two glorious Pontiffs of the Church. Hence the reflections used in the Novena are taken from the writings of both. These writings beautifully portray the great heart of Saint Pius X.

The Principles and Methods of Christian Prayer
by Romano Guardini

Where did you learn to pray?

At your mother's knee? From the nun or brother who taught your religion class? Has your understanding of prayer matured since then, or do you simply pray, year after year, as you were taught as a child?

No wonder most people have so many erroneous notions about prayer. No wonder our prayers are still far from what they should be!

This remarkable book offers practical ways you can improve your prayers today and grow closer to God. The topics include:

  • How to pray well even when your heart is empty
  • Determining the prayer schedule that's right for you
  • St. Francis of Assisi - the five words that gave this holy man an entire night of contemplation
  • The saints: why all Christians should pray to them - and with them!
  • Spontaneous prayer - why it can be less genuine than formal prayers
  • "Vague cosmic worship" - has it crept into your prayers?
  • The Rosary - just how much of it should you be saying?
  • The posture of prayer - should you pray sitting, standing, or kneeling? It makes a difference!
  • Family prayer: practical hints to make yours even better
  • The Psalms, adoration, liturgical prayer…and much more!

The New Psalter Of The Roman Breviary

Rev. L.C. FILLION, S.S.

This is a reprinting of the classic, side-by-side Latin/English edition of the breviary psalter, as reformed by pope St. Pius X. It is intended to aid those who recite the divine office in acquiring fluency with the Latin text and greater devotion to this spiritual treasure.

The divine office is a source of inexhaustible riches. The seven canonical hours are seven daily visits to the heavenly court during which our voices are united in perpetual adoration; and our prayers ascend mystically in the golden censer with those of the saints.

"There is in the Plms a certain wonderful power for stimulating zeal in men's minds for all the virtues. For although all our Scripture, both the Old and New, is divinely inspired and useful of doctrine, asas it is written, the Book of Psalms, like a paradise contains in itself the fruits of all the others."  - Pope St. Pius X
