The Imitation of Christ leather hardcover
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.

A Treatise on Perfection
A Treatise on Perfection
Saintly Counsel on Obtaining Salvation
by Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke of Richelieu
“Could there be anyone who does not realize just how perilous it is to give one’s loyalty to this passing and inconstant world—which, sooner or later, casts down all those whom it raises up, and eventually takes away all that it gives?” — Cardinal Richelieu
Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke of Richelieu (1585–1642), was a prelate of great sanctity, learning and wisdom, and an ardent devotee of the Mother of God. He lived in a profoundly turbulent era, when all of Europe (including France) was shaken by religious and political unrest. This man of God and servant of the people laboured tirelessly to ensure the flourishing of the Catholic Church and the Kingdom of France, both of which he loved dearly.
Cardinal Richelieu, who was a close friend of Pope Urban VIII and a key proponent of the reforms of the Council of Trent, was also an extremely popular spiritual author in his day. His timeless but long-forgotten masterpiece the Treatise on Perfection, presented here in English for the first time, overflows with wise insights and helpful guidance for nourishing a fruitful and sustainable spiritual life, particularly for those who are trying to balance prayer and devotion with complex and demanding secular responsibilities (as he himself did so successfully.) Cardinal Richelieu believed that the humble and diligent fulfillment of one’s proper and legitimate duties in society is the single most important moral responsibility of the Christian, and also often the most effective form of prayer.
This work also outlines the nine tortures of hell according to Saint Augustine, the joys of heaven, distractions at prayer, twenty spiritual counsels, and much more. Here is a book that will stir your heart to love God above everything by cultivating piety, virtue, and moderation in whatever state of life you are called to. Here is a book that pulls wisdom from some of the greatest saints to help you become a saint.

The Sign of the Cross - Roger
The Sign of the Cross
by Fr Léon Roger
Every great society possesses a distinctive mark by which its members are recognised. Every well-ordered army has a standard beneath which its soldiers rally. Similarly, the members of the society which is the Church must have a mark or a sign by which they may be recognised. This sign is the sign of the Cross. The standard beneath which the soldiers of Christ rally is the Cross.
This short but profound book looks at the sign of the Cross, first in itself: its historical origins, its composition, its dogmatic and moral significance. Then it examines the place of this sign in the Church’s liturgy. Finally, it focuses on the power of the sign of the Cross and its wonderful effects.
The author, Father Léon Roger, was Chaplain of the Basilica of Notre-Dame des Victoires in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Introduction to the Devout Life Deluxe
An Introduction to the Devout Life
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:

Why God Became Man
Why God Became Man
Cur Deus Homo
by Don Caspar Gilli
In St. Anselm of Canterbury's foundational theological work, Why God Became Man (Cur Deus Homo), delve into a profound and meticulously reasoned exploration of the Incarnation and Atonement. Written in the 11th century as a dialogue, Anselm addresses the fundamental question of why God, being omnipotent, chose to redeem humanity through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, rather than by a simple act of divine will. He masterfully articulates the satisfaction theory of atonement, arguing that humanity's sin incurred an infinite debt to God's honor, a debt only an infinite being—God Himself—could repay. This seminal text continues to be a cornerstone of Christian theology, offering timeless insights into the nature of God, sin, justice, and salvation. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings of Christianity.

Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate
Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate
by St Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, O.F.M. Cap.
The Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate is one of Padre Pio's few published writings, penned before he was forbidden by the Church to publish or to engage in correspondence, this for fear a cult would arise around him.
Here we encounter a profound spiritual penetration into the mystery of Mary's unique and sublime role in our salvation. Though brief, it can be read over and over with great benefit since it is just as the title suggests both a meditation and a prayer on the meaning of Mary.
This booklet also contains a brief sketch of Padre Pio's life and numerous edifying pictures of this saintly stigmatist.
