The Hidden Power of Kindness
A Practical Handbook for Souls, Who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time
by Fr Lawrence G. Lovasik
Transform yourself — and the world — through kindness!
Kindness counts. If you have trouble acting with the consistent kindness our Lord expects, your relationships with God and those you love may be suffering.
Probably you just can’t find the time — and can’t ever seem to develop the patience — that you need in order to be consistently kind amid the irritations that afflict you daily. That’s why this book is such a godsend.
You’ll learn how to be kinder, even in difficult circumstances.
There’s nothing complicated or magical about learning to be kinder; it just takes greater attention to the things that you do and how you do them. The Hidden Power of Kindness shows you how to become more aware of even your most offhand daily actions. You’ll find simple, step-by-step, and spiritually crucial directions for how to overcome the habitual unkindnesses that creep — undetected — into the behavior of even the most careful souls.
If you want to make progress in the spiritual life, you can’t afford to miss the bracing insights in this handbook for souls who yearn to be kinder. They’ll give you years of solid help in overcoming sin so that you’ll live more fully with others — and truly transform your corner of the world!

The Interior Castle
The Interior Castle
Or The Mansions
by St Teresa of Avila
What does the life of our soul look like?
In The Interior Castle, St. Teresa imagines the soul as a magnificent castle full of spacious and elaborate rooms. And, as St. Teresa describes, at the heart of this castle stands the seat of the King Himself.
“I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions. If we reflect, sisters, we shall see that the souls of the just man is but a paradise, in which, God tells us, He takes His delight.” (Page 7)
This book provides a remarkable description of the spiritual life of the soul. From the first release of the soul from mortal sin into sanctifying grace, to the mystical marriage of the soul to Christ, Interior Castle describes the spiritual life as a journey through the imagery of a mysterious and beautiful castle.
Using her image of a castle, Saint Teresa writes about numerous essential aspects of our spiritual journey in this book, including:

A Modern Discussion of an Unpopular Subject

Father explains that in older days the same sins could be found as we have today, but the sinner would accuse himself of the sin and confess it; now, the same sin is not recognized as such, but is seen as a virtue!

Confessions of St Patrick
The Confession of Saint Patrick
and the Epistle to Coroticus
by Saint Patrick
The Confession of Saint Patrick and the Epistle to Coroticus are two of the most famous writings left by Saint Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland.
The Confession reveals to us the spiritual beauty of the Saint who gave his labour and his mind and his life to bring the Irish to the knowledge of the Gospel, loved them with the yearning love of a father and thought of them all from the first to the last.
In the Epistle to Coroticus, he proves himself to be the true shepherd who courageously stands up for his persecuted flock, calling out its enemies as “patricides, fratricides, and ravening wolves.”

The Seven Last Words of Christ HC
The Seven Last Words of Christ
by St Bonaventure and Arnold of Bonneval
From the pulpit of the cross, Christ gave His final and most riveting sermon: His seven last words. In times past, Christ frequently spoke in parables, but no more. No, Christ penned these words with His royal blood like a calligrapher using the most delicate of strokes. Christʼs seven last words are the greatest utterances ever recorded in the history of the world—greater than the words of any esteemed orator, heroic leader, or even saint, because they were the last words of God to mankind. They are the “mystical compendium of the entire Gospel,” the perfection of the Beatitudes. Yes, Christ saved the best for last, just like at the wedding feast of Cana—only this time, it was the blood and water from His side that were offered freely to His own bride, the Church.
In this engrossing work, the seraphic doctor, Saint Bonaventure, and Arnold of Bonneval, a Benedictine abbot, offer some of the most profound insights into the seven last words of Christ. Arnold, a friend of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, is believed to be the first person to write on the seven last words, inspiring Bonaventure. While the seven last words have been glossed over for centuries by Christians, it is now time to uncover their hidden and powerful meaning—for there is no greater meditation than pondering the Teacher’s last lecture. In Christ’s seven last words, we find the necessary direction to reach the heights of perfection.

The Passion of Christ - Through the Eyes of Mary
by St Anselm of Canterberry and others
“As I stood at the foot of the cross, this pure white garment became saturated with the streams of crimson blood which gushed from His precious body!” —Our Lady to Saint Anselm
There is no human person who loved Christ more than Mary. And there is no greater act of love than Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. In these pages, you will find two of the most stirring revelations of Christ’s passion and death ever recorded by Doctors of the Church—Saint Anselm, the Magnificent Doctor, along with writings attributed to Saint Bernard, the Mellifluous Doctor. These private revelations given by Our Lady will enhance one’s prayer life while drawing one deeper into the passion narratives of the Gospels. But what makes this book unique is the heartfelt dialogue between Our Lady and her spiritual sons. Those who read this book will be profoundly moved to not only weep for their sins but to weep for Him whose Blood was completely emptied for our salvation.
The Mother of Sorrows is the woman of the interior life who leads us to the Master of the interior life, the Man of Sorrows. There is no better way to contemplate the passion of Christ than through the eyes of Mary, she who loved Him above everything, she who loved Him with a mother’s heart, and she who stood firmly when everyone else fled.

Meditation on the Sacred Passion of Our Lord
Meditation on the Sacred Passion of Our Lord
by Cardinal Nicolas Patrick Wiseman
“The Christian can have no true devotion at all, if he have it not for the sufferings and death of Christ. For we can have no true devotion without love, its only true foundation.” (Cardinal Wiseman)
Each one of these forty texts on the different aspects of Our Lord’s Passion will give Catholics beautiful food for meditation right throughout the time of Lent and Passiontide.
Cardinal Wiseman does not allow us to be mere passive spectators of a tragedy which, though it may arouse our pity and compassion, would have nothing to do with us personally. Instead, he compels us to acknowledge our own part in the terrible drama of Christ’s sufferings and encourages us to take practical resolutions to change our life accordingly.

Way to Happiness
Way to Happiness
by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Every human person seeks happiness, but few find it, because they have not discovered the source of all happiness: God. In Way to Happiness, Futon Sheen reflects on the most fundamental aspects of our lives: love, politics, motherhood, work, teens, forgiveness, rest, meditation, and more.
In a culture stricken with anxiety, boredom, despair, and fear, Sheen desires to reignite healing, hope, and contentment in the reader. While the secular world holds the mistaken belief that hunger for infinity can be satisfied by an infinity of material things, Sheen warns that they really wish for the infinity of divine love. Addressing the philosophy of pleasure, Sheen reminds the reader of the centrality of self-discipline and detachment.
At the heart of the Way to Happiness is heroically living out the spirit of charity: love of God and love of neighbor. To achieve a spirit of service and self-donation, a strong interior life is a perequisite. True peace is born in meditation.
Lastly, Sheen provides a blueprint to overcome bad habits through introspection, avoiding the occasion of sin, willing the good, and a right philosophy of life. In an age when so few people have time to make a retreat, allow the retreat master, Sheen, to take you on a spiritual journey that will spur you on to holiness. For anyone seeking a clear path to a happy and saintly life, the Way to Happiness will be your guide.

Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus of Nazareth
by Mother Mary Loyola
by Mother Mary Loyola
In 1906, Mother Mary Loyola was asked to write the story of Our Lord for American missionaries. Her writing style had so endeared her to children the world over that, despite the many excellent versions of this Greatest Story Ever Told, its publishers were confident that it would bring its readers closer to Our Lord.
Though it was originally intended for children, like most of Mother Loyola's work, it has a very broad appeal across all ages. For this reason, the same book was subsequently published under the current title--The Story of His Life Simply Told--as a way to encourage adults that this story is not for children alone.
Thus, while the content of this book is exactly the same as Jesus of Nazareth: The Story of His Life Written for Children, even down to the illustrations, we have followed the lead of these earlier publishers and created this edition for adult sensibilities.
