The Story of the First Canonized Saint of the Americas

St. Antony of the Desert
St. Antony of the Desert
by St. Athanasius

No one can claim to be seeking the monastic ideal who does not seek to imitate St. Anthony of the Desert, justly called "the Great." Holy Abba Antony was the second of the Desert Fathers, learning from the primordial hermit himself, St. Paul the First Hermit. Illustrious in holiness, glorious in asceticism, magnificent in miracles, resolute against temptation, St. Antony remains unsurpassed by any monk as the greatest of Abbots, the original "Anthony" and namesake of St. Anthony of Padua.

The account is worth the read as much because of its subject—him who received the Jesus Prayer from Our Lady and mastered the swarms of demons that surround us all by humble invocation of the Name of the Savior—as because of the hand that wrote it: St. Athanasius, also called "the Great." The pious should consider that no other pen was deemed suitable to depict the life of the Father of Monasticism as the Father of Orthodoxy, who defended the Holy Trinity and the Divinity of Jesus Christ against the blasphemies of the Arian heresy. St. Athanasius's holy voice resounds throughout this most venerable of hagiographies.

Let St. Antony touch your heart (through the words of St. Athanasius) as his own heart was when he heard the words of the Savior: "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; then come, follow Me." Let us learn from holy Abba Antony just what this means for us.

Seeking the Heart of Christ
Seeking the Heart of Christ
Christian Reflections on the Interior Life
by St Claude La Colombière

Discover the wisdom of St. Claude La Colombière (1641–1682), the Jesuit saint who was the confessor to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and championed devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In Seeking the Heart of Christ: Christian Reflections on the Interior Life, you will find a treasury of spiritual reflections that inspire deeper faith, encourage virtue, and guide the soul toward holiness.

This remarkable collection of sermons explores essential topics of Christian living, including the sweetness of virtue and the humble submission to the will of God. La Colombière also offers profound meditations on the need for repentance, the benefits of frequent Communion, and the transformative power of the Mass. He addresses the practical struggles of life with guidance on how to deal with adversity while reminding readers of God’s mercy toward sinners as they face the last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell.

With pastoral sensitivity and spiritual depth, La Colombière’s theological insights offer a path to grow closer to Christ and align your life with His Sacred Heart. His advice to help ward against such vices as intemperance, impurity, and vainglory, for instance, makes this book a practical guide for every stage of life.

Let St. Claude La Colombière lead you to the heart of Christ.

Cultivating the Spiritual Life
Cultivating the Spiritual Life
The Beginnings of the Life of Grace & Mysticism as Told by the Saints
by Fr. Adolphe Tanquerey, SS, DD

This work has been constructed as a daily companion to deepen and fortify the foundation of your interior life as taught by the tradition of the Church.

Cultivating the Spiritual Life is intended to serve as a day-by-day guide for you to live a devout life in the world to point the way to an enlightened, well-balanced, and authentic piety.

Taken from the writings primarily of that great 20th century master of the spiritual life, Fr. Adolphe Tanquerey, and further enhanced with writings from various doctors of the Church, saints, mystics, and theologians, Cultivating the Spiritual Life is a daily companion for those searching to grow closer to Christ by understanding how the spiritual life works in us. The purpose of this work is not to transcend any particular school or preference of spirituality, but rather to show what is universally common to the Catholic spiritual life and what each soul must know to succeed in his own earthly pilgrimage to God.

Fr. Tanquerey composed a complete and orderly summary of questions on the spiritual life which can serve as a devotional treatise for spiritual reading by his clear, lively, practical, and careful writing that serves to help foster a truly devout life while avoiding being dry and being controversial.

Cultivating the Spiritual Life should be read by taking the teachings of the Church as a whole and finding the common principles and rules for strengthening the basic fundamentals that the Church has always taught. Fr. Tanquerey wrote those for all those “who are seeking to live a thoroughly Christian life and thus fit themselves to be living, breathing models of Christ in the world today by a deep interior life.”

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:
  • Prevent accidents
  • Comfort us
  • Help us
  • Protect us from the devils

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.

The Catholic Sanctuary
The Catholic Sanctuary
And the Second Vatican Council
by Michael Davies

In this  important pocket-size booklet, Michael Davies sets forth the amazing but accurate thesis that Vatican II and the Post–Vatican II legislation did not mandate any changes in the Catholic sanctuary: that is, they did not mandate moving the Tabernacle from the central point in the altar, nor placing a chair in the middle of the sanctuary, nor even switching Mass to "face the people."
Filled with quotes from the relevant passages of the actual Church documents, this valuable little handbook is a wonderful aid for those trying to educate upon, discuss, and fight against a modernist update of the sanctuary in a parish Church.
Michael Davies also shows the striking similarity between the destruction of altars in the 16th century by Protestant "Reformers" and today's destruction of altars and sanctuaries by modernist reformers. This booklet is a bestseller and an eye-opener to unsanctioned changes in the structure of the sanctuary.
