Butler's Original Lives of the Saints Vol. 4
June & July - Hardcover Illustrated - 806 pages
Very few published works require such a lengthy explanation of exactly WHICH edition is being offered, in what format, and why, than Fr. Alban Butler’s Lives of the Saints. The reason is that there are so many very different books being printed under this author’s name and under this title due to it’s long history (the work is almost 300 years old) and its universal popularity. Few catholic books except the Bible, the Confessions, the Imitation, and the Summa, are as widely read. This book has also been extensively revised, altered, and updated since its original publication, with new editions, even 21st century revisions being made, that we feel the time is ripe for an original, unexpurgated, and unrevised print version to be made available.
This edition is widely considered to be the most complete and authoritative ever issued. It is the 1854 edition of D. J. Sadlier of New York, and in the Preface it gives its “pedigree.” The original was printed anonymously in London in 1759, after 30 years work on the project. The edition published by Sadlier is an exact replica of the Dublin and London edition of 1833. Being a scholarly work, but also a work deeply imbued with the piety and devotion of a priest’s lifetime effort, it is loaded with footnotes which comprise a significant proportion of the total text.
This edition also includes 365 beautiful 19th century engravings which are added to this original un-illustrated text. A great man once said that “History is the laboratory of Wisdom.” And where do we find the best history? It is found in the lives of the saints, for it is through their lives on earth, lived within the union of Christ’s mystical body, the Catholic Church, that we see the only history that truly matters for all eternity.
This spectacular history by Fr. Alban Butler, The Lives of the Saints, presents to the reader the life story of over 1600 saints and their times. In the original introduction we find this bold statement:
“It is on this account we have ventured to designate The Lives of the Saints an historical supplement to the Old and New Testaments. We think this work deserves to be so considered, on account of the close resemblance it bears to the historical portions of holy writ. Let the divine economy, in this respect, be for a moment the subject of
the reader’s consideration.”
Father Alban Butler was born in 1710, at Appletree, Northamptonshire, the second son of Simon Butler, Esq. Orphaned at the age of eight, he was sent to be educated at the English College, Douay, in France. In 1735, Butler was ordained a priest. At Douay, he was appointed professor of philosophy, and later professor of theology. It was at Douay, he began his principal work The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints. He also prepared material for Richard Challoner’s Memoirs of Missionary Priests, a work on the martyrs of the reign of Elizabeth. He labored for some time as a missionary priest in Staffordshire, and was finally appointed president of the English seminary at Saint Omer in France, where he remained till his death in 1773.

Heroines of Christ
edited by Fr Joseph Husslein, S.J.
For centuries the Catholic Church has upheld and celebrated her saints among the great holy women of history. Even from the moment of the Fall of Man, God promised a Redeemer Whose power would conquer sin and reopen to us our heavenly home; and in that moment He also promised us a mother who would be so powerful as to crush the head of Satan and cooperate with her Divine Son in reopening those gates of paradise. Womankind finds in Christ’s own Virgin Mother the perfect imitation of Christ, and in her is found all the treasures of virtue wanting in every woman. Fittingly, God’s women saints imitate and copy Our Lady’s greatness through His omnipotent power. Unlike pagan and Moslem cultures that often demean the female as something more akin to an animal, due to a naturalistic attitude of prizing the superiority of physical strength over spiritual strength, our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church has not hidden those loving sisters of Christ. She has, conversely, sought to proclaim God’s glory and will through the artful hands of women, knowing full well God’s plan for them as capable of great spiritual strength, and even miraculous physical strength beyond comprehension. All the while, the holy women in the life of the Church do not overshadow the great men, but rather compliment them beautifully in all their varied rôles.
The book was first published in 1939 and is an anthology of essays by Jesuits, retelling the brilliant histories of fifteen women saints throughout the course of the Catholic Church. Starting with Saint Agnes in ancient Rome, and finishing with St. Thérèse in the twentieth century, the subjects covered are varietal. Many geographical locations are visited, and almost every era of the Church and station in life are the setting for the accounts. In storybook fashion, the various authors give inspiring and often dramatic accounts of these saints’ lives. As the preface is forward in stating, the authors had sought to dramatize the events vividly to give the stories life and color. They do this very well, giving the reader a sense of truly having lived among these women. One can imagine easily each saint’s various trials and can have, therefore, a greater appreciation of their victories. This writing is a tool that greatly inspires, because when these true-life stories are laid out in this fashion, one gets a sense of the reality of sainthood and how attainable heroic virtue can be. After all, many of the same battles fought daily by modern-day women who aspire to holiness are no different than those battles also endured by yesterday’s holy-women
A common theme echoes in each story, which is that each chapter details for the reader the extraordinary love with which these ladies lived their daily lives. While it is not a surprising reality that men and women who want to increase God’s glory on earth will have in common this great love, it appears obvious that this collection of stories was intended to make a march along this theme. Heroines of Christ accomplishes well that to love Christ is to do all, lose all, and gain all for Him.
Among these pages, learn how the unwavering love and faithfulness to Christ are qualities which made the difference between any one soul and the souls of the saints. It is through the example of the female saints that we come to the knowledge of what is truly necessary in the female soul. If modern woman is to counteract and win the battle over liberalism and feminist philosophies, she must first be armed with the knowledge of the past champions of true femininity. In their souls flames forth an unwavering constancy to the Christian Faith, and a wholesome obsessive love for Christ. At first glance, there is nothing more extraordinary in the women saints of God than what is in any other woman’s capability, but due to their virtues, miraculous events and triumphs over the impossible mark their legacies.
The book is unique in that it not only instructs by giving a historical account, like some school-day lecture. Heroines of Christ also entertains through the literary methods of artistic narration that is vivid in its images and sprinkled with probable dialogue. Like any good work of historical fiction, the book certainly does give an excellent account of the lives of each saint while keeping the mind of the reader rapt in wonder. Written in this way, the mind is sure to remember the new exciting details as never before when reading a lives of the saints collection which contains only brief summaries of historical fact.
- Be inspired in your daily life by the attainable marvels that have been the lives of women saints since the time of the early Roman martyrs even until more recent times.
- Be strengthened by these women’s constancy and victorious battles over daily sufferings and the powers of hell.
- Look on as beautiful ladies choose their bridegroom to be Christ rather than highly eligible earthly suitors.
- Wonder as common and obscure folk rise to the great heights of such fame as to be known even among non-Catholics.
- Delight as little girls of no consequence bravely confound great rulers.
This true strength of woman gleams from among the pages of history, through the omnipotent power of Christ and His living Church. We stand strengthened that so triumphant an army looks down upon us and intercedes for us to do the same, knowing full-well our weaknesses and needs, having had lived them before in greater or lesser degrees. In reading Heroines of Christ, travel back in time with those women who would one day become saints, and walk with them along the road of this present earth toward sanctity and the reward of heaven.

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.

by Sister Catharine Goddard Clarke, M.I.C.M.
History of the Church illustrated by the popes. Starting from the momentous entrance of Saint Peter into the fearsome capitol of Satan's doomed empire, to the triumph of the last Christological Council, Chalcedon, held under Leo I. Includes the major periods of religious crises and tells of those heroic Popes who steered the Church through these gravest trials.

by Sister Catharine Goddard Clarke, M.I.C.M.
For those who have enjoyed Sister Catherine’s Our Glorious Popes, this work is an equally worthy production from the pen of an historian gifted in the art of scholarly composition. Its theme is a song of gratitude to Our Savior Jesus Christ and to His Blessed Mother for so plentiful a redemption. The author exudes both her own joy in living the sacramental life within the Catholic Church, and her holy indignation over the fact that liberal Catholic clergymen in the United States were teaching that one’s personal sincerity of conscience was an acceptable substitute for the one and only means of salvation given by Christ. Sister Catherine demolishes all the ambiguous subterfuges that in her day (and far more so today) were undermining the doctrinal clarity that in centuries past left no doubt as to the whereabouts of the only way of salvation.

Saints Who Raised the Dead
True Stories of 400 Resurrection Miracles
by Fr. Albert J. Hebert, SM
"Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by death and to those in the tombs granting life!"
When Christ rose from the grave, the curse of fallen nature—death—was overturned; His death and resurrection marked the final victory over sin and evil. For the God-Man knew His way out of the grave, and the chains of Hell could not hold Him down.
Through the ages, Christ's Saints have manifested the glorious grace of miraculous resurrections, restoring to life those who have died and working wonders at times even greater than the Lord Himself—as He promised us in the Gospels.
Witness 400 miracles from such towering figures of sanctity as:
- Patrick
- Elizabeth of Hungary
- Catherine of Siena
- Teresa of Avila
- Francis Xavier
- Rose of Lima
- John Bosco
- And so many more!
In addition, readers will find descriptions of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, as well as other after-death experiences.
When Christ raised Lazarus from the dead, he set the prototype for the most glorious kind of miracle he could grant His saints to perform: resurrection. Let these true accounts fill you with awe at the majesty of God, Who laughs, "O Death, where now is thy sting?"
Formerly published by TAN under the title "Raised from the Dead".

"How lovely is Thy Dwelling-Place, O Lord God of Hosts!" —Psalm 83 (84)
To gaze upon and speak with Our Lady is one of the tenderest longings of the pious Christian soul. Our Lord could not have conceived of a greater human creature than His own Mother, and so it is one of the most sublime graces to be granted a vision of that Heavenly Garden, the True Eden and New Eve. It is no wonder, then, that those most blessed souls who have loved Christ most have merited to see her, who only leads us deeper into His love.
Saints Who Saw Mary recounts the stories of 17 canonized saints who kept company with the Ark of the New Covenant, the Mother of God. Their stories are profound, enlightening, inspiring, and tantalizing. Learn of Our Lady's dealings with such luminaries of the sanctoral patrimony as:
- Gertrude the Great
- Francis of Assisi
- Bridget of Sweden
- Catherine of Siena
- Teresa of Avila
- John of the Cross
It is no coincidence that Our Lady appeared to these who are among the greatest saints in the history of the Church. For anyone who does not love His Mother, who bore God, can merit to bear Christ and His glorious resurrection. Let these accounts move you not only to longing for the sight of the Mother of God and her Son, but, what is far more important, to a deeper love and longing to be united to Him through her who is most blessed.

by Henri Daniel-Rops
"Have you strength to drink of the cup I am to drink of? They said: We have." (Matthew 20:22)
Down through the ages, numerous men and women have devoted themselves totally to the task of spreading the Gospel to the dark corners of the world. To each belonged some definite service, bequeathed by God and unto His glory.
From this immense variety, Henri Daniel-Rops has selected eleven heroes of God: St. Paul, prince of Apostles and proto-missionary; St. Martin of Tours, servant of God to the French countryside; Blessed Ramon Lull, martyr for the Muslims; Bartolomé de las Casas, loving father to the natives of the New World; St. Francis Xavier, intrepid pioneer and preacher to Asia; St. Issac Jogues, priest-unto-death for the Iroquois; St. Junípero Serra, cultivator of California and its harvest for Christ’s Church; Blessed Anne-Marie Javouhey, dauntless liberator of the slaves in French Guiana; St. Charles de Foucauld, hermit of the Sahara and disciple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; St. Damien of Molokai, sufferer of living death, leprosy, for the sake of his flock; and Father Nussbaum, indomitable modern martyr of forbidden Tibet.
Originally published in 1959, Heroes of God bears compelling witness to the truth that—despite all differences in time, temperament, and territory—these adventurers had a common design: to live, suffer, and die so that others might know the love and mercy of God.

The stores are arranged by date, beginning with Our Lady’s mother, St. Anne, and finishing with another Anne, Anne de Guigne (this Anne, who died in 1922, aged 10, has not been canonized, but she was declared Venerable on March 3, 1990 by Pope John Paul II). In between is a lovely mix of saints, young and old, princesses and pilgrims, mothers and grandmothers and nuns: a goose-girl and a horse-dealer’s daughter; a girl who was kidnapped by pirates, a veterinarian, and (believe it or not) a ventriloquist!
These stories are ideally suited to inspire readers to fall in love with virtue.
