Helper in Desperate Cases
by the Benedictine Convent of Clyde
In desperate circumstances, the Faithful have always turned to the sure help of St. Jude Thaddeus—Apostle, cousin of Our Lord, and martyr for the Catholic Faith. This powerful Saint is invoked in cases of extreme need, grievous illness, poverty, and when circumstances seem hopeless.
Plus, he is a special defender of (and helper in regaining) purity. St. Jude has obtained remedies and comfort for countless people who have turned to him in prayer. This book explains his relationship to Our Lord (as "the Brother of God") and describes his preaching of the Gospel in Persia.
There, along with St. Simon, he performed many miracles, defeated two magicians, converted thousands—including kings—and was martyred. Besides many interesting traditions about St. Jude, this booklet also contains the entire text of the Epistle of St. Jude with an explanation of this little-known New Testament book. Also included are famous, powerful prayers and novenas.

Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life
by St. Francis de Sales
In Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life St. Francis de Sales, beloved Doctor of the Church, gives us treasured insight from the master of spiritual direction. How can the soul persevere in piety in the midst of affliction? How should we conduct ourselves when suffering interior trials? How can we profit from our own faults?

In this masterful collection, St. Francis speaks to every soul on the riches to be gained from suffering trials and temptations, the advantages we can draw from our own defects, and how to choose and carry the best crosses. Also included are uplifting passages on suffering sadness, or what we would now call depression.
Readers of Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life will experience firsthand why St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) is known to history as the Gentle Saint. St. Francis was Bishop of Geneva and a tireless preacher, who yet made time to correspond with numerous souls who wrote him for his insight and guidance. His Consoling Thoughts are compiled from these letters as well as from his other spiritual works.

The Life of St. Columba
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
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.
