Sin and Its Consequences
Sin and Its Consequences
by Cardinal Henry Edward Manning
Sin is never small, private, or inconsequential. In this penetrating collection of sermons, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning confronts one of the most neglected realities of modern Christianity: the true nature of sin and its devastating effects upon the soul.
With theological precision and pastoral urgency, Manning exposes sin not as a mere mistake or psychological weakness, but as a rupture between man and God. Sin darkens the intellect, weakens the will, corrupts the conscience, and gradually reshapes the soul through habit. What begins as compromise eventually becomes captivity.
Yet this work is not written to condemn. It is written to awaken. By restoring a serious understanding of sin, Manning simultaneously reveals the magnitude of Divine Mercy. The soul that recognizes its sickness can still be healed. The sinner who repents can still be restored.
In an age that excuses nearly everything, Sin and Its Consequences restores moral clarity and calls the reader back to vigilance, repentance, and authentic conversion.

The Secret of Peace and Happiness
Wife, Mother and Mystic
Wife, Mother and Mystic
Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi
by Fr Albert Bessieres, S.J.
The story of Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi, a woman singled out at the age of twenty-one, to receive revelations from Our Lord and the Blessed Mother, which continued until her death. In her visions she foresaw much of the political turmoil that took place during her life most significantly the French Revolution and subsequent weakening of the Church's temporal authority. She also read the state of souls, both living and dead.
Despite these miraculous gifts, she was content to fulfill her station in life as the wife of a poor serving-man and the mother of seven children. Wife, Mother and Mystic chronicles the events of an extraordinary life and yet, the great lesson of this biography is not found in the extraordinary, but in this modest woman's constant, hidden "striving after holiness" in her most ordinary tasks.

Saint Philomena
Saint Philomena
The Wonder Worker
by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, EDM OP, STL
St. Philomena is perhaps the most extraordinary Saint in the history of the Catholic Church. When the relics of this 13-year-old virgin martyress were discovered in the Roman Catacombs in 1802, she became almost overnight one of the most popular saints in the Church, earning the nickname of "the Wonder-Worker" because of the countless remarkable favors that she sent to those who prayed to her. For a century and a half there was a worldwide Catholic devotion to St. Philomena, approved by many Popes. But amazingly, since the 1960s, she has been almost forgotten.
This little book by beloved TAN mainstay author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan gives the fascinating story of St. Philomena. Fr. O'Sullivan tells of her martyrdom, her miracles, her relics, her partnership with the Curé of Ars, and the great miracle involving Pauline Jaricot, as well as recounting many other true stories of "the dear Little Saint's" generous answers to those who invoke her.
God obviously wishes to give out His gifts and favors through the hands of St. Philomena, and it is His will that that we ask her for them. These pages will give new hope to all who need a special friend in Heaven to answer their prayers.
May this little book help to open up the floodgates of heavenly gifts so that once again this sweet young Saint will become known by that beautiful title: "Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker!"

Zita
Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary
by Charles A. Coulombe
Empress Zita of Austria (1892—1989) was declared a Servant of God by Pope Benedict XVI. But who is she? What is it about her life and spirituality that inspired the Church to open the investigation into her beatification?
Zita’s life and her integral role within the House of Habsburg during the tumultuous 20th century are not well known. In Zita: Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, Charles Coulombe takes readers through Zita’s lineage and the political climate she was born into, Bl. Charles and Zita’s marriage, her support of Bl. Charles amid the destruction of the Catholic Monarchy, and much more. Bl. Charles and Zita’s story is one of hope, perseverance, and great faith. Through this couple’s devotion to the Sacred Heart, they inspired their children and their peoples to a greater love of God and country, despite the many trials they faced. As we similarly live in a society that denies God and attacks the family, we can turn to the example of this saintly couple.
Journey with Zita to learn how she persevered after Charles’s death, which left her in exile with their seven children and an eighth on the way, and how she kept the hope of a restored House of Habsburg alive, even under the threat of Nazism.

The Lives of Jesus and Mary and the Story of Fatima for Little Catholics
All about the Angels
All About the Angels
by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, EDM OP, STL
"Their angels in the heavens gaze always upon the face of My Father, Who is in the heavens." —cf. Matthew 18:10
Angels are often the first to go when people begin to question Catholic doctrine. However, it is a definitive tradition of the Faith that the angels and other spirits are real and present—even more so than we are—in Creation. Not to mention that Our Lord said so Himself! Each one of us has a guardian angel, and there are myriads of other angels from all ranks of the nine choirs ready to aid us if we but call upon them, our "bigger brothers and sisters," as it were, in heaven.
In All about the Angels, author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan offers a wonderful exposition on the bodiless spirits of heaven, showing how they visit people many times in the past and present. They would do so still if we but asked! Fr. O'Sullivan relates how the angels:
All about the Angels contains beautiful stories about the great archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, along with stories from the lives of St. Gemma Galgani, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Bosco, and many others! Let Fr. O'Sullivan's words inspire in you a desire for greater communion with the angels, who reflect the glory of God most perfectly.

Little Nellie of Holy God
Little Nellie of Holy God
1903-1908
by Sr. Mary Dominic, R.G.S.
1903-1908
by Sr. Mary Dominic, R.G.S.
Little Nellie is called the Little Violet of the Blessed Sacrament.
Little Nellie was not yet four and a half when God took her to Heaven; but she had already made her First Holy Communion. Before she died, she had received Our Lord 32 times. She knew that in Holy Communion she was receiving God; she always called Him "Holy God." When the Holy Father, Pope St. Pius X, heard about Little Nellie, he cried: "There! That is the sign for which I was waiting." Then the Holy Father said that children could receive Holy Communion when they were little, rather than waiting till age 12. This marvelous true story is perfect to teach children love and reverence for Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist!

Catholic Apologetics
Catholic Apologetics
God, Christianity and the Church
A Course in Religion IV
by Fr John Laux, M.A.
Fr. John Laux's perennial text Catholic Apologetics presents readers with well-reasoned answers to classic objections against the Catholic faith. This text covers the "motives of credibility": how it is reasonable to believe in God, to believe in Jesus Christ, and to believe in the Catholic Church. Superficial objections to these three core beliefs are decisively and logically refuted in this well-written presentation on apologetics, a powerful tool to help souls hold fast with firm confidence to their Faith.
One of the best apologetics books we have ever seen. Covers the nature of our knowledge, justifications for our belief, proofs for the existence of God, Immortality of the soul, proofs of Revelation, reasonableness of our belief in the Church, primacy of the Pope, etc.
Recommended for 10th grade students.
