The Liturgical Rosary
The Liturgical Rosary
Meditations for each Hour, Day & Season of the Liturgical Year
With the completion of this book, a step has been taken which we hope will bring the Church that much closer to fulfilling Sister Lucia’s dream. For the first time (to the best of our knowledge), the Church’s Liturgy and the Virgin’s Rosary, long intimately united in their supernatural end, are connected in a tangible manner. With sets of meditations corresponding to each day of the Liturgical year and to each hour of the Divine Office, the Rosary can now be prayed with holy Mother Church, as it were, guiding the thoughts of our hearts even as holy Mother Mary has long guided the images of our imaginations. Truly, these mysteries are not meant to be merely remembered. They are meant to be entered into. They are meant to be lived.

Daily Bible Reading With the Church
Daily Bible Reading With the Church
by Benedict R. Avery, O.S.B.
The life of every Christian soul on it’s pilgrimage through this vale of tears must be fed primarily on two foods. The origin of these two foods is the two trees in the Eden of our first parents, of which trees one was allowed to their use and one was forbidden. The Tree of Life was intended to feed the life that God had breathed into Adam and Eve. We now have a replacement for the food of that tree. That food is God Himself as the Bread of Life in the Eucharist. Adam’s disobedience regarding the command not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was the cause of mankind’s fall from grace. Now that man knows of evil, God has given us something to teach us to distinguish the evil from the good. Of this tree we also have a new bread to eat, as Jesus himself told us, “Not by bread alone (temporal bread) doth man live, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.” The word of God is two things, scripture and Jesus—especially in the Eucharist. These two foods are essential to us to sustain our life of grace that will, hopefully, lead us to eternal life.

Daily reading in the scriptures is the best way for a Christian to partake of this bread that God has given us. On Palm Sunday, 1978, Brother Francis gave us this daily schedule. Some have followed it ever since, and can testify to the sweetness and depth that this practice can bring to one’s spiritual life.
Douay Rheims version of the English bible as the very best translation available from which to read scripture. It corresponds more accurately to the original Vulgate than any of the more recent translations and the language is most beautiful.

The Golden Arrow
The Golden Arrow
The Autobiography and Revelations of Sister Mary of St. Peter (1816-1848) on Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus
by Sister Mary of Saint Peter
Born in 1816 in Brittany, France, Sister Mary of Saint Peter lost her mother at age 12. Soon after entering the Carmelite convent at Tours in 1839 at age 23, she began to receive remarkable and intimate communications from Our Lord, Who told her of His great distressed over the evil actions and blasphemous declarations of the Marxist revolutionaries of the time. He also bemoaned the indifference to and profanation of Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation of even Christians. These errors, begun in Sister Mary's time, have grown monstrously ingrained in our present fearful age.
But the Lord provided Sister Mary over a century and a half ago with the means of fighting these catastrophes and making solemn reparation: devotion to His Holy Face. In addition, He gave her a prayer, a "Golden Arrow" fit to pierce His Heart delightfully, in reparation for the painful "poison arrows" of blasphemy launched by so many poor sinners, even children.
The Golden Arrow tells of both the life of Sister Mary of Saint Peter and her life's work: the devotion, granted to her by Jesus Himself, to His Holy Face. Approved by Pope Leo XIII and promoted by St. Therese of Lisieux half a century later, the devotion to the Holy Face may be the single most important devotion of our time that still remains relatively unknown.
In our age so sorely afflicted by the same grievous errors as Sister Mary of Saint Peter's, learn to adore Our Blessed Saviour's wounded Face, so as to make reparation for the sacrileges and blasphemies of our decadent age.
May the most Holy, most Sacred, most Adorable,
Most Incomprehensible and Ineffable Name of God
Be always Praised, Blessed, Loved, Adored and Glorified,
In Heaven, on Earth and in Hell,
By all the Creatures of God,
And by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
In the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Amen.

The Imitation of Christ
by Thomas à Kempis
After the Bible, The Imitation of Christ is the all-time favorite book of Catholics throughout the world. And of the English editions, none can equal this inspiring translation by Bishop Richard Challoner.
This book speaks to the soul of every true Christian, reminding us of the fleeting nature of earthly joy as opposed to the eternity of happiness with God.
The guide of the saints since it first appeared in 1418, it was the sole spiritual reading of St. Therese of Lisieux, who loved it and knew it by heart.
Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange asserted that the true mysticism of which it speaks is accessible to all, if they are willing to follow the way of humility, the cross, continual prayer, and docility to the Holy Ghost.

On Prayer and Meditation
On Prayer and Meditation
by St Peter of Alcantara
Since St. Peter of Alcantara (1499–1562) wrote this treatise in 1556 to help people prepare their lives for eternity, readers need not be reminded that sin and eternity hasn’t changed in the last 450 years. St. Peter offers less a practical guide on prayer and meditation than a path to deepening and enriching one’s interior life in order to prepare the soul for its fi nal end. The author does so by providing a series of considerations on the elements of the spiritual life, on the Sacred Passion, and on ways to improve piety (which the author calls “devotion”) and to overcome the difficulties and temptations in its achievement.
This book was highly recommended by other contemporary saints including St. Teresa of Avila, whom the author appeared to upon his death. This book is a modernized edition of an English translation from the late 1920s.

The Story of a Soul
The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux
“If the little flower could talk, it seems to me it would say what God has done for it quite simply and without concealment . . . This flower, in telling her story, is happy to make known all the gifts Jesus has given her.” — St. Therese of Lisieux
The beautiful style of St. Therese’s writing will capture your heart, but it will be the power and efficacy of her lessons that will keep you returning day after day.
Only written under holy obedience by the command of her superior, St. Therese’s autobiography conveys the secrets of her great holiness, which she achieved through her simple and ordinary life. It teaches her “Little Way of Spiritual Childhood,” which she called her “elevator to Heaven.” An important lesson for all Catholics, her “little way of love and confidence” is drawn directly from Scripture and has been approved by Pope Pius XI as a way to holiness for all.
Although she died at the age of 24, St. Therese was and is known for her great wisdom, and this magnum opus demonstrates the young Carmelite’s holiness and dependance on God.
St. Therese’s autobiography has become a classic of Catholic literature, and it has been translated into numerous languages. The Story of a Soul continues to grow in popularity and millions of copies are distributed worldwide.
No Catholic should be ignorant of the spiritual power of “little way” of St. Therese. This beautiful edition, which is printed in the beautiful style of all the TAN Books Catholic Classics Series, belongs on the shelf of every Catholic.

Little Offices of the Passion
Little Offices of the Passion
by St. Bonaventure, St. Francis of Assisi
WILL YOU NOT WATCH ONE HOUR WITH ME?
The saints of the Church have often produced aids for those desiring to grow in devotion to Our Lord, especially to his Passion; and while the saints have employed many different genres to inform devotion to Christ, there is perhaps none greater than the devotion offered in a liturgical Office.
This little book, which presents two of these Offices by two of the great saints of the Church, is what men and women of the medieval period would have called a Book of Hours.
It is these types of shorter daily Offices which are customarily found in Books of Hours designed for lay devotional use. The most popular of these “Little Offices” was that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but other offices were often included alongside it the Office of the Dead, the Office of the Cross, the Office of the Holy Ghost, or an Office of the Passion as we have here. St. Francis is known to have said the Church’s Office and his own Office of the Passion every day.
Offices dedicated to the Passion commemorate Christ’s suffering by connecting specific hours of prayer to the moments of His Passion: the Crucifixion, for example, was always remembered at the hour of Sext. St. Bonaventure and St. Francis of Assisi were particularly suited to produce rich texts for devotional prayer on the Passion. To the initial texts of his Office, St. Francis added more and more pieces over the course of his life, until the Office of the Passion assumed the shape it now.
In 1257, St. Bonaventure was elected Minister General of the Franciscan order. He served in this capacity into the 1270s, when he was made a Cardinal Bishop. The Franciscans at Paris had developed close ties with the royal court of St. Louis IX. St. Bonaventure preached before the royal family on many occasions. It is traditionally believed that St. Bonaventure composed the Office of the Passion at the request of St. Louis IX for the royal saint’s own use.
The two Offices presented here begin the narrative of the Passion in slightly different places: St. Bonaventure’s begins at Matins and Lauds, remembering Christ imprisoned in the early hours of the morning, while St. Francis’s Office begins at Compline the night prior by commemorating the Agony in the Garden.
These Offices invite us to enter more deeply into the memory of the Lord’s Passion, and more deeply into the devotional lives of St. Francis, St. Bonaventure, and even St. Louis IX. In St. Bonaventure’s Office we are taken by a more conventional route into the Passion of Christ. In St. Francis’s Office of the Passion, we find a more unique Office composed of texts that invite us into St. Francis’s own prayers. The Seraphic Father not only presses us to become more devoted to Christ’s suffering; he teaches us to praise God through the created world, to grow in devotion to Our Lady, and to more clearly recognize God as the source of all the goods we have, those of nature gifted to us through creation and those of grace gifted to us by God’s redeeming acts, especially Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. Here is how we can better know these saints and, with them, take on the mind of Christ, their Lord and Master: by taking up their prayers daily.
This is a beautiful book that will delight all who use it.

WILL YOU NOT WATCH ONE HOUR WITH ME?
The saints of the Church have often produced aids for those desiring to grow in devotion to Our Lord, especially to his Passion; and while the saints have employed many different genres to inform devotion to Christ, there is perhaps none greater than the devotion offered in a liturgical Office.
This little book, which presents two of these Offices by two of the great saints of the Church, is what men and women of the medieval period would have called a Book of Hours.
It is these types of shorter daily Offices which are customarily found in Books of Hours designed for lay devotional use. The most popular of these “Little Offices” was that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but other offices were often included alongside it the Office of the Dead, the Office of the Cross, the Office of the Holy Ghost, or an Office of the Passion as we have here. St. Francis is known to have said the Church’s Office and his own Office of the Passion every day.
Offices dedicated to the Passion commemorate Christ’s suffering by connecting specific hours of prayer to the moments of His Passion: the Crucifixion, for example, was always remembered at the hour of Sext.
