The Life of Christ Revealed
The Visions of Blessed Veronica of Milan
by Bl Veronica of Milan

Blessed Veronica of Milan (1445–1497) was a most humble and devout lay sister in the Augustinian Order. Despite her lowly position within the order and the fact that she was nearly illiterate, Bl. Veronica maintained an inspiring disposition of joy, humility, and piety. Offered in English for the first time, The Life of Christ Revealed contains her many detailed visions of Our Lord.

Blessed Veronica’s visions faithfully reflect the accounts of the life of Our Lord found in the Gospels. Yet in many cases, they add beautiful and touching details of color, imagery, and emotion. These details fill out many of the basic Gospel narratives, and they often harmonize the accounts of the different Evangelists.

Within these pages, readers will encounter a multitude of striking and fascinating descriptions, including details of the arduous journey of the Holy Family to Egypt, and their encounters with gangs of bandits along the way; a description of the food, costumes, and even dancing at the wedding feast at Cana; and many of the private thoughts and feelings of both Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The passion of Christ in particular is described in a most heartrending and poignant manner. If you enjoy the writings of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, you will surely find spiritual fruits in Bl. Veronica’s visions, which precede Emmerich’s by some 350 years. As you read this book, let Bl. Veronica’s visions guide you to a deeper understanding and love of Our Lord.

The Road to Bethlehem
Daily Meditations for Advent and Christmas
by St. Alphonsus Liguori

This Advent Season, let the great and prolific Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus Liguori, guide you on a daily prayerful pilgrimage from the start of Advent through the birth of our Lord to the Epiphany. Drawing on Sacred Scripture and his profound saintly counsel, St. Alphonsus takes you into the details of Christ’s birth for prayerful reflection that will have your imagination placing you at the feet of our infant Lord. With meditations on the poverty of our Lord becoming man to Jesus weeping as a baby and lying on straw, St. Alphonsus will bring a humble intensity to your Advent prayer life. The contents of these meditations are marked by both joy for the birth of our Lord and sorrow for what we know He will suffer for our salvation.

Few saints have written with such passion, depth, and simplicity on the incarnation and nativity of Christ as Saint Alphonsus Liguori.

This book, The Road to Bethlehem: Daily Meditations for Advent and Christmas, is taken from the original book entitled The Incarnation, Birth, and Infancy or the Mysteries of the Faith.

The Life of St. Columba
Apostle of Scotland
by F. A. Forbes

St. Fintan, one of the Saint's first companions in Iona, was asked once towards the end of Columba's life to describe him to one who had heard much of his holiness, but who did not know him. "He is a king amongst kings," answered Fintan, "a sage amongst wise men, a monk amongst monks. He is poor with God's poor; a mourner with those who weep, and joyful with those who rejoice. Yet amidst all the gifts of nature and of grace that have been so liberally showered on him by God, the true humility of Christ is as royally rooted in his heart as if it were its natural home." (Chapter IX)

“Columbcille was a man of great heart and of determined will; what he set himself to do was sure to be done” (Chapter IX)

“To be quick to take offence and slow to forgive an injury is a characteristic of the Celtic race all the world over, and Columba was no exception to the rule. Long and sharp was to be the struggle before that quick and imperious nature was wholly conquered by the grace of God, but great was to be the victory at last.” (Chapter I)

“It was Columba’s love of the Church that won for him among his companions the name by which he became famous in after-days– “Columb-cille” or “the dove of the Church.” He would slip away from their games whenever he could, but they always knew where to find him. “He nestles beside the altar like a dove in its nest,” they would say.” (Chapter I)

“But God shows His love for His Saints in ways which are not the ways of men, and the chastening fires of sorrow and of suffering were to purify that ardent and impulsive nature.” (Chapter III)

Where We Got The Bible
Our Debt to the Catholic Church
by Fr. Henry G. Graham

Most Protestants never think twice about using the Bible to attack the Catholic Church. But do they know where the Bible comes from? In Where We Got the Bible, Fr. Henry Graham explains in intimate detail the canons of the Old and New Testaments and how the Catholic Church assembled them through infallible pronouncements, councils, and force of Tradition—something Protestants find hard to grapple with. In addition, this book details the history of the Bible after the assembly of the canon and how the Catholic Church preserved it. Some people do not know that Martin Luther and other Protestants removed books from the Bible. The Catholic Church, however, preserves and maintains the original Scriptures—the very ones Martin Luther grew up learning and studying!

Most of all, Where We Got the Bible is a vindication of the role of the Bible in the Church's life. The Sacred Scriptures are truly the inspired Word of God through the Holy Spirit's action in individual authors across time. However, it takes the Holy Spirit's guidance and inspiration through the action of the Church, assembled in college and under the authority of the Roman Pontiff, to make the determinations about just what really belongs in Scripture. Finally, the force of Sacred Tradition is what binds this together and keeps the orthodox Biblical canons intact throughout the centuries. Learn all this and more in this handy, precise, and short treatise.

Fr. Henry Grey Graham was a priest and author from the 20th century. His works, such as What Faith Really Means and Where We Got the Bible, exhibit his clear and understandable style.

Uniformity with God's Will
by St Alphonsus de Liguori

Every Catholic wants to achieve the happiness of eternal life with God. But how can we practically live out the will of God in our daily lives? How can we be perfect? How can we become saints?

The way to perfection is simple—unite your will with God’s and put into action the prayer “Thy will be done.”

“A single act of uniformity with the divine will suffices to make a saint.” (Page 6)

St. Alphonsus lays out the steps to conforming our will with God’s in 7 short and easy-to-read sections. He explains how anyone can achieve uniformity with God and why it leads to authentic happiness.

Whether you are looking to have a pocket-sized prayerbook to improve your prayer life while on the go or for a lesson that you can repeatedly return to and gain more each time, this 32-page best-seller is a necessity for every Catholic.
