The Great Means of Grace
$8.90
Just for Today
Just for Today
by St Therese of Lisieux
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.

All Hail Christ the King
All Hail Christ the King
by Fr Francis Xavier Lasance

“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.

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:
  • 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

Novena to Saint Joseph
Novena to Saint Joseph
Patron of the Universal Church
by Fr. Louis Lallemant, SJ

Saint Joseph is patron of the Universal Church. He therefore has a special interest in the needs of all. In Nazareth, the Son of God was subject to him as His foster father. In heaven St. Joseph’s prayers and requests are regarded by Christ as “commands.”

This form of novena was originally devised by the celebrated Fr. Louis Lallemant, S.J. (1587-1633). It has proved particularly effective in obtaining favors through the intercession of St. Joseph. This saintly priest and great master of the spiritual life, to whom St. Joseph never refused anything he asked, ensures those that make this novena that they will obtain everything they ask through the intercession of this great saint if, in turn, they will show him special honor and spread devotion to him among others.

A Year with the Church Fathers
A Year with the Church Fathers
by Mike Aquilina

Times change, but human nature does not. Neither do the daily struggles that all Christians experience in their walk with the Lord. Today as two thousand years ago we fight anger, pride, lust, spiritual sloth. Now as then we strive to be more diligent in prayer, more faithful to the commandments, more patient and charitable toward others. And in our time, no less than in the earliest centuries of Christianity, we need wise guidance to direct us on the road to holiness.

In A Year with the Church Fathers, popular Patristics expert Mike Aquilina gathers the wisest, most practical teachings and exhortations from the Fathers of the Church, and presents them in a format perfect for daily meditation and inspiration. The Fathers were the immediate inheritors of the riches of the Apostolic Age, and their intimacy with the revelation of Jesus Christ is beautifully evident throughout their theological and pastoral writings: a profound patrimony that is ours to read and cherish and profit from.

Learn to humbly accept correction from St. Clement of Rome. Let Tertullian teach you how to clear your mind before prayer. Read St. Gregory the Great and deepen your love for the Eucharist. Do you suffer from pain or illness? St. John Chrysostom's counsels will refresh you. Do you have trouble curbing your appetite for food and other fleshly things? St. John Cassian will teach you the true way to moderation and self-control.

A Year with the Church Fathers is different from a study guide, and more than a collection of pious passages. It is a year-long retreat that in just a few minutes every day will lead you on a cycle of contemplation, prayer, resolution, and spiritual growth that is guaranteed to bring you closer to God and His truth. From the Church Fathers we should expect nothing less.

Our Way and Our Life
Our Way and Our Life
Christ in His Mysteries
by Bl Dom Columba Marmion, OSB

The present volume is a shorter edition of Christ in His Mysteries, Dom Columba Marmion’s profound reflection on the Mysteries of Christ’s birth, death, Resurrection, and Ascension as presented in the Gospels and the Liturgical Year. In Blessed Marmion’s words, the mysteries that Jesus lived were lived for us. In them He shows Himself as our model and wills to make Himself one with our souls as Head of the Mystical Body of which we are members. Each of Christ’s mysteries, representing a state of His Sacred Humanity, brings to us a special participation in His Divinity.

Advent, Christmas, Holy Week, Paschaltide, the feasts of Corpus Christi and the Sacred Heart—following Christ in this way, uniting ourselves to Him, we share more deeply in His Divinity and His Divine life. This is why, writes Blessed Marmion, the contemplation of the mysteries of Jesus is so fruitful and why contact with the different phases of the life of her Bridegroom, into which the Church places us by means of the Liturgy, is so vital for us. Participation in the mysteries of Jesus requires the co-operation of the soul. If Christ opens to us the unfathomable treasures of His states and mysteries it is that we may draw upon them and make them our own. The Sovereign Pontiff Pius X wrote in his encyclical of November 23rd, 1903, that “the active participation of the faithful in the sacred mysteries and in the public and solemn prayers of the Church is the first and indispensable source of the Christian spirit.” There is no surer way, no more infallible means, of making us one with Christ.

Rosary Album
Rosary Album
by Michael Buccino

A VISUAL AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION ON THE ROSARY.

A top favorite of young children and adults! Booklet includes over 200 original black and white illustrations (one for each bead!) by Mr. Michael Buccino. The artist began these drawings to help his children meditate more easily on the Rosary. "I came up with the idea that if they had a book with pictures it might keep their minds on meditating while they were praying and would be better able to concentrate on the Rosary. So I got started working on the Rosary Album, which took me 18 years to put together. The book has brought the rosary to life."

There is a picture and scripture verse for each bead. The Litany of Our Lady (with illustrations) is also woven into each mystery. For all ages.

Meditations for Lent
Meditations for Lent
by Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet

Even three hundred years ago, believers found it difficult to sustain for forty days the proper Lenten spirit. That's why even then, countless Christians turned to the writings of Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (1627-1704), whose great piety and simple eloquence won him renown as one of the greatest preachers of his time.

There is no better time to begin—or to renew—the habit of meditation than during the penitential season of Lent.

If you want to combine the spiritual benefits of a holy Lent with the supernatural harvest that regular mental prayer brings, then you stand to profit from Bossuet’s Meditations for Lent.

These brief but powerful meditations have been collected from the voluminous writings of the great 17th Century Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet, a close follower of St. Vincent de Paul and considered to be among the greatest homilists in Catholic history.

In these pages, Bishop Bossuet will bring you on a stunning inner pilgrimage to encounter Our Lord’s divine charity for souls, as He freely gives His life for you on the Cross. “The whole of Christian life consists in making this journey well,” says the author. “Why do I hesitate to leave?”

Read Meditations for Lent and avoid arriving at Easter Mass distracted and exhausted, having neglected your sacrifices and even ordinary prayers.

Instead, find yourself coming joyfully unto the altar of God, ready and eager to adore the Risen King, with your soul prepared as a worthy dwelling place for the Redeemer.

How to Pray Well
How to Pray Well
by Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J.

A modest book to help you pray as you've always wanted - and as you should.

We all pray, but few of us pray well. And although that's troubling, few of us have found a spiritual director capable of leading us further along the path of prayer.

Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J., is such a director, and reading this little book about the four types of prayer will be for you like hearing the voice of the wise and gentle counsellor you long for but can't find: one who knows your soul well and understands its needs.

How can this be? Well, the interior life is in most ways the same - and in lesser ways different - for each of us. The good director understands the ways it must always be the same, and allows for all the ways in which it will be different, uniquely our own. By showing us in these pages the saints in prayer, their struggles and their insights, and by drawing on 2,000 years of Christian experience Fr. Plus is here able to make his spiritual advice both concrete and universal: suited to each of us as if we were speaking with him face-to-face.

To read is not always to pray; but to read this book is to be led to the very threshold of true prayer.
