A Treatise on Perfection
A Treatise on Perfection
Saintly Counsel on Obtaining Salvation
by Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke of Richelieu
“Could there be anyone who does not realize just how perilous it is to give one’s loyalty to this passing and inconstant world—which, sooner or later, casts down all those whom it raises up, and eventually takes away all that it gives?” — Cardinal Richelieu
Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke of Richelieu (1585–1642), was a prelate of great sanctity, learning and wisdom, and an ardent devotee of the Mother of God. He lived in a profoundly turbulent era, when all of Europe (including France) was shaken by religious and political unrest. This man of God and servant of the people laboured tirelessly to ensure the flourishing of the Catholic Church and the Kingdom of France, both of which he loved dearly.
Cardinal Richelieu, who was a close friend of Pope Urban VIII and a key proponent of the reforms of the Council of Trent, was also an extremely popular spiritual author in his day. His timeless but long-forgotten masterpiece the Treatise on Perfection, presented here in English for the first time, overflows with wise insights and helpful guidance for nourishing a fruitful and sustainable spiritual life, particularly for those who are trying to balance prayer and devotion with complex and demanding secular responsibilities (as he himself did so successfully.) Cardinal Richelieu believed that the humble and diligent fulfillment of one’s proper and legitimate duties in society is the single most important moral responsibility of the Christian, and also often the most effective form of prayer.
This work also outlines the nine tortures of hell according to Saint Augustine, the joys of heaven, distractions at prayer, twenty spiritual counsels, and much more. Here is a book that will stir your heart to love God above everything by cultivating piety, virtue, and moderation in whatever state of life you are called to. Here is a book that pulls wisdom from some of the greatest saints to help you become a saint.

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.

The Children of La Salette
The Children of La Salette
by Mary Fabyan Windeatt
Over 50 years before three shepherd children in Fatima saw a beautiful, mysterious Lady, two similarly innocent children beheld the same Lady heartbroken, crying with her face in her hands. Maximin and Melanie might not be as well-known as Lucia, Jacinta, or Francisco, but their message is no less powerful or relevant now.
This vividly detailed, engrossing account from Mary Fabyan Windeatt reveals the depth of Mary’s pain over the sins of ungrateful men, as well as the perfect mother’s love that drove her to appear in tears to these faith-filled children. Mary’s message here, and the story of La Salette, will be familiar to anyone who knows the story of Fatima, reminding us that prayer, hope, and penance will always be the answer to the emptiness of sin and violence.
Maximin and Melanie quickly realize that their journey will not be easy, but instead of giving in to the constant, grating pressures of a harsh and unbelieving public, they win staggering amounts of people over through their virtue, their honesty, and especially their courage. With the law and even a local priest closing in on them from all sides, they refuse to dishonour Our Lady by revealing what she told them in confidence, remaining faithful to what they know is right in God’s eyes.
In their encounter with the heartbroken Lady at La Salette, these two little children have much to teach us about what trust in God really looks like. By casting themselves into Christ’s arms through His mother, they found peace in the midst of some truly unexpected stresses, confusions, and misunderstandings that surrounded their peaceful vision. As they won villager after villager to their side through faith and perseverance, they gave so many tired souls a sign of how much they are loved and sought-after by the Divine Lover—including all of us today.
Let this story of her humble appearance at La Salette encourage us in our own lives as we struggle with our crosses and look forward to the eternal hope of the Resurrection.

Saint Marie of the Incarnation
Saint Marie of the Incarnation
The Story of the First Missionary Sisters in Canada
by Mary Fabyan Windeatt
"It's almost upon us!" yelled a frantic voice aboard the Saint Joseph, as the iceberg neared the ship. The huge mountain of gray-green ice looked like a floating castle which would shatter the poor little wooden ship in a moment or two. Just then the helmsman, confused and panic-stricken, turned his wheel in the wrong direction, bringing the iceberg even nearer!
"It's the end of everything!" groaned the Captain. "God's Will be done," prayed Mother Marie, as the collision loomed closer. If God wished her to drown in the icy Atlantic before ever reaching New France (Canada), His Holy Will be done. Yet perhaps Father Vimont quickly gave general absolution to the passengers and crew. Then he made a hurried vow to the Blessed Virgin Mary. One of the nuns began the Litany of Loreto, and a trembling chorus of voices rose to Heaven: Holy Mary, pray for us! Holy Mother of God, pray for us! Holy Virgin of Virgins, pray for us!
This book tells what happened next. It also tells about the Indian children, the savage Iroquois, and the great fire plus the codfish, the lice and the bear grease! All in all, this is the great story of saintly Mother Marie of the Incarnation and of how the holy Catholic Faith came to Canada.

The huge mountain of gray-green ice looked like a floating castle which would shatter the poor little wooden ship in a moment or two. Just then the helmsman, confused and panic-stricken, turned his wheel in the wrong direction, bringing the iceberg even nearer!
"It's the end of everything!" groaned the Captain. "God's Will be done," prayed Mother Marie, as the collision loomed closer. If God wished her to drown in the icy Atlantic before ever reaching New France (Canada), His Holy Will be done. Yet perhaps Father Vimont quickly gave general absolution to the passengers and crew. Then he made a hurried vow to the Blessed Virgin Mary. One of the nuns began the Litany of Loreto, and a trembling chorus of voices rose to Heaven: Holy Mary, pray for us! Holy Mother of God, pray for us! Holy Virgin of Virgins, pray for us!
This book tells what happened next. It also tells about the Indian children, the savage Iroquois, and the great fire plus the codfish, the lice and the bear grease! All in all, this is the great story of saintly Mother Marie of the Incarnation and of how the holy Catholic Faith came to Canada.
