SIP_commonsense.jpg Commonsense Book of Catholic Prayer and Meditation
$14.95

Overcome the spiritual pitfalls and temptations that most often afflict serious Catholics

It’s a common but unrecognized problem: without even realizing it, you may have allowed your spiritual life to be distracted and diverted by practices and assumptions which are in fact foreign to authentic faith. That’s why you need Hilda Graef’s Commonsense Book of Catholic Prayer and Meditation! In it, she gives you positive ways to avoid pitfalls and build your spiritual life on the solid rock of truth.

It’s deceptively easy (especially for committed Catholics) to fall into these spiritual traps. You may become frustrated and let your efforts to follow Christ fall by the wayside because you think that your prayers and devotions should make you feel a certain way, and they don’t. Or you may take something as an answer to prayer simply because it came to you after your prayer, even though it brings trouble and difficulty into your life. Graef also details here how quickly you can succumb to sinful habits of injustice, pride, lack of charity, and many others — without even recognizing it’s happening.

Graef, an internationally respected Catholic author, here gives you the spiritual resources you need to clear away these and other roadblocks to your spiritual progress. She shows you how to use common sense in your approach to faith — while remaining loyal to the Church’s teaching in its fullness. 208 pages, paperback. Sophia institute Press - Spring 2002

Mary and the Mystery of the Mother of God demolishes these and other misconceptions about Catholic teaching on the Blessed Virgin Mary. The truth is that Catholics do not worship Mary. Catholic teaching on Mary is scriptural. And the Rosary and other Marian prayers encouraged by the Church are not vain repetitions. Noted Scripture scholar Scott Hahn and other prominent Catholics examine the scriptural basis for the Church's teaching on Mary. You'll learn why the Catholic Church teaches that Mary is the Mother of God who was immaculately conceived, remained always a virgin, and was assumed body and soul into heaven. You'll understand how the Blessed Virgin is the fulfillment of the Old Testament images of the woman, the ark, and the queen.

Following up on his acclaimed Redeemer in the Womb, John Saward returns to the mystery of Christ's Incarnation.

OSV_1931709572.gif Children of Fatima, The
$12.95 $11.01 On Sale!
By Leo Madigan. The most revealing look yet at the extraordinary Fatima phenomenon.

In 1917, two little children — one nine years old, the other seven — had a series of visions that changed the world. The Blessed Virgin appeared to Francisco and Jacinta Marto and told them how sin was responsible for all the world’s troubles. She also told them how devotion to her Immaculate Heart would bring the world back to God.

Since then, millions have made pilgrimages to the site of the apparitions, and even non-Catholics are familiar with the story of Fatima. Yet, surprisingly, there’s never before been a full-length book on these two blessed children, who started a worldwide movement.

Leo Madigan has devoted his life to Fatima, and he has access to documents that aren’t available to the general public. Here you’ll find the story of Francisco and Jacinta and the apparitions they saw, told in a way that brings out the vital importance of Fatima for today. Paper, 176 pages.

TAN_1890.jpg Christian Perfection and Contemplation
$21.00 $18.99 On Sale!
By: Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange. Christian Perfection and Contemplation is an entire treatise on the operation of grace in the spiritual life that clearly and skillfully explains the great principles of the spiritual life according to St. Thomas Aquinas and other sterling Catholic Sources. In fact, the author’s fascinating and extremely informative footnotes are themselves worth the price of the book. Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange shows us that the mystical life, which is true life and, again, simply the full flowering of the Sanctifying Grace received at Baptism – is something abundantly spoken of in Scripture, especially in the Epistles of St. Paul and St. John, as well as in the traditional Liturgy of the Church.

IP_0898708058.gif A Cry of Stone
$29.95
In this long-awaited fifth novel in his series, Children of the Last Days, Michael O’Brien explores the true meaning of poverty of spirit. Loosely based on the real lives of a number of native North Americans, A Cry of Stone is the fictional account of the life of a native artist, Rose Wâbos. Abandoned as an infant, Rose is raised by her grandmother, Oldmary Wâbos, in the remotest regions of the northern Ontario wilderness. The story covers a period from 1940 to 1973, chronicling Rose’s growth to womanhood, her discovery of art, her moving out into the world of cities and sophisticated cultural circles. Above all it is the story of a soul who is granted little of human strengths and resources, yet who strives to love in all circumstances. As she searches for the ultimate meaning of her life, she changes the lives of many people whom she meets along the way.

O’Brien takes the reader deep into the heart of a “small” person. There he uncovers the beauty and struggles of a soul who wants only to create, to help others to see what she sees. The story also explores the complex lies and false images, the ambitions and posturing that dominate much of contemporary culture, and shows how these have contributed to a loss of our understanding of the sacredness of each human life.

Once again, Michael O’Brien beautifully demonstrates that no matter how insignificant a person may be in the world’s eyes, marvels and mysteries are to be found in everyone. His central character, Rose, is among the despised and rejected of the earth, yet her life bears witness to the greatness in man, and to his eternal destiny. Hardcover 853 pages.

$14.95
There are many Protestants and Catholics who have been deeply affected and spirituality changed by the writings of C.S. Lewis, including many converts to Catholicism who credit C.S. Lewis for playing a significant role in their conversion. But the ironic and perplexing fact is that Lewis himself, while “Catholic” in may aspects of his faith and devotion, never became a Roman Catholic. Many have wondered why.

Joseph Pearce, highly regarded literary biographer and great admirer of Lewis, is the ideal writer to try to answer that question. The relationship of Lewis to the Roman Catholic Church is an important and intriguing topic of interest to both Catholics and Protestants. Pearce delves into all the issues, questions, and factors regarding this puzzling question. He gives a broad and detailed analysis of the historical, biographical, theological, and literary pieces of this puzzle.

His findings set forth the objective shape of Lewis’s theological and spiritual works in their relation to the Catholic Church. This well-written book brings new insights into a great Christian writer, and it should spark lively discussion among Lewis readers and bring about a better understanding of the spiritual beliefs of C.S. Lewis. 220 pages paperback, Ignatius Press Fall 2003

Jean-Marie Vianney, a farm boy born during the French Revolution, longed to become a priest. But he could not learn Latin, and it seemed as if the humble, lovable, slow-thinking Jean-Marie would never be ordained. He did at last become a priest, and such a holy one that St. Jean-Marie Vianney is invoked as the patron saint and model of parish priests everywhere. To many he is known, not by name, but simply as "the Curé of Ars," the parish priest who devoted his life to the little village of Ars and so successfully led his people to sanctity that he became a prime target of the devil. 148 pages, paperback, Ignatius Press Vision Book.

LIG_32735.gif A Catholic Teen's Guide to Tough Stuff
$12.95
Straight Talk, Real Issues by Jim Auer

Being a teenager can be a lot of fun. There are new and interesting people to meet, a wide variety of exciting challenges, and the pleasure that comes with greater freedom and increased responsibility. In all of this, though, there is the “tough stuff” that shapes and defines who you are and what you can grow to be. Every new situation brings with it a decision to be made. So what is the best way to deal with the tough choices that inevitably pop up? How do you stay true to who you are and what you want to become? What part do your Christian beliefs play in your decision making, and in what ways do the voices of peers, parents, and God affect your choosing?

A Catholic Teen’s Guide to Tough Stuff addresses a broad range of issues that confront youth today. Some (dating, for example) are perennial; others (such as the potential hazards of the Internet) are more recent. The issues include relationship with self, relationships with peers, and relationships with parents and other adults. Each topic is treated with straightforward but gentle wisdom and frequent splashes of humor, with a common thread of Catholic faith as the source of strength and guidance.

With straight talk on the real issues that face teens in their daily lives, A Catholic Teen’s Guide to Tough Stuff will be a valuable companion for a young Catholic journeying through the sometimes confusing terrain of adolescence. 144 pages; Paperback Ligouri Publications Spring 2004.

OVS_1931709912.gif Catholic Mystique: Fourteen Women Find Fulfillment, The
$14.95
By Patricia Sodano Ireland and Jennifer Ferrara

There are Catholics and non-Catholics alike who take it as truth that the Catholic Church is no place for a self-respecting, intelligent woman. Small wonder they’re sympathetic to the feminists who couldn’t care less about the Church but, even so, relentlessly agitate for its complete restructuring … with women’s ordination as the new centerpiece.

Authors Jennifer Ferrara and Patricia Sodano Ireland disagree. Both were ordained Lutheran ministers. Both became Roman Catholics. The Catholic Mystique tells their stories — and the stories of more than a dozen other educated, articulate, accomplished women who found ultimate fulfillment in the Church.

While the contributors to this book come from a wide variety of backgrounds, time and again, it was the Church’s clear and uncompromising stance on the sanctity of human life that first attracted a woman’s attention, and then captured her heart. Paperback, 304 pages. Our Sunday Visitor March 2004

SIP_73-3.jpg The Catholic Verses
$19.95
95 Bible Passages That Confound Protestants by Dave Armstrong. Scriptural Proofs for the Truth of the Catholic Faith

Martin Luther ignited the Protestant Reformation by tacking ninety-five anti-Catholic theses to a church door in Germany. Now Dave Armstrong counters with ninety-five pro-Catholic passages from an authority far greater than Luther: the Bible itself.

Protestants (and even many Catholics) will be surprised to see Catholicism so strongly supported by these Catholic verses.

Not Armstrong! As a Bible-believing Protestant, he studied Scripture intently. There he encountered countless Catholic verses that convinced him that the Bible is a Catholic book. It was written by Catholics, preserved by Catholics for more than 1,400 years before Luther was born, and even today confirms the claims of the Catholic Church. “That’s why,” says Armstrong, “early Protestant opinion was virtually identical to today’s Catholic beliefs.”

With humility and care, Armstrong here explains ninety-five key Bible passages that confound all who would use Scripture to criticize the Church and Her doctrines. These are the verses that have drawn so many serious believers — including Armstrong — out of their Protestant congregations and into the Catholic Church.

Armstrong shows that a fair-minded reading of each of these passages (and of the whole Bible) supports the Catholic position on the key issues that divide Protestants from Catholics. Here is Biblical evidence that Catholicism is right about the nature of baptism, the communion of saints, the Eucharist, and the Church; the authority of the Pope, the Bible, and tradition; the salvific role of faith, good works, relics, purgatory, and Mary; the immorality of divorce and contraception; and much more.

The Catholic Verses is essential reading for all persons seeking to understand God’s word in the Bible and to discover the Church that continues to preach His word faithfully today. 256 pages paperback Sophia Institute Press, Fall 2004.

SIP_19_7.jpg Can a Catholic Be a Democrat?
$14.95
How the Party I Loved Became the Enemy of My Religion

When author David Carlin was a young man, it was scandalous for a good Catholic to be anything but a good Democrat. In the pews, pubs, and union halls of America’s cities, millions of poor European immigrants and their children pledged allegiance to the Church of Rome and the party of FDR.

All that changed in the 1960s, with the rise of a new kind of Democrat: wealthy, secular, ideological. Even as Carlin served the party he loved — twelve years as a Rhode Island state senator and once a candidate for Congress — he could only watch in dismay as its national leaders abandoned their blue-collar, pro-life, and religious constituencies and took up with NOW, Hollywood, and the abortion lobby.

So complete has been this transformation that we no longer speak of a natural alliance between Catholics and the Democratic Party. Indeed, Carlin here asks whether today it’s even possible to be both a faithful Catholic and a Democratic true believer.

A veteran sociologist, philosophy professor, and author of The Decline and Fall of the Catholic Church in America, Carlin shows how his party and his religion have taken opposite sides in the Culture War. On issues of human life, sex, faith, morality, suffering — and the public policies that stem from them — the modern, secularist Democratic Party has become the enemy of Catholicism; indeed, of all traditional religions.

So complete has been this transformation that we no longer speak of a natural alliance between Catholics and the Democratic Party. Indeed, Carlin here asks whether today it’s even possible to be both a faithful Catholic and a Democratic true believer.

Carlin shatters the excuses that Catholic Democratic politicians employ in a vain attempt to reconcile their faith and their votes, and then, with what he calls the “political equivalent of a broken heart,” he examines his own political conscience. As a faithful Catholic and a Democrat approaching his seventieth year, must he now leave the party he’s called home since birth?

David Carlin’s arguments challenge all religious Democrats to ask themselves the same question.

IP_1586171585.jpg Celebrating the Holy Eucharist
$11.95
Cardinal Arinze, the greatly esteemed African churchman and head of the Vatican congregation for worhsip and sacraments, elucidates the Church's faith in the Eucharist as the high point of her public worship and the source and summit of Christian life.

In Celebrating the Holy Eucharist, Cardinal Arinze emphasizes that the priest is ordained, first and foremost, to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass and other liturgical rites. The priest "finds himself at the hightest moment of his vocation when 'in persona Christi' he celebrates the Eucharistic Sacrifice."

The laity also finds in the Mass "the fount and apex of their entire Christian lives." The Eucharist gives "life, meaning and direction" to all of their works and actions. Cardinal Arinze shows how the Eucharistic celebration sends the lay faithful out into the world to spread the gospel, giving special mention to the role of the family in the work of evangelization.

The Cardinal also discusses in this book the changes in the Mass and other liturgical rites that have taken place during the last forty years. The responsibilities of the diocesan Bishop, the celebrating priest, and the assisting assembly are examined in depth. 126 pages, paperback, Ignatius Press 2006

ceremonies.gif Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite by Msgr. Peter J. Elliott
$26.95
At last, a complete ceremonial manual for the celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours. Faithful to the renewal of worship authorized by the Second Vatican Council, Ceremonies combines precise guidance to these rites with a pastoral and spiritual approach. A high ideal of noble Catholic worship is consistently maintained, respecting the "continuity of our tradition".

Ceremonies sets out the liturgical duties of bishops, priests and deacons, acolytes and servers, lectors and eucharistic ministers etc., hence it is invaluable for clergy and seminarians and all who teach or study the liturgy. Ceremonies includes a wide range of guidance on such useful themes as: vessels and vestments, how to carry out ceremonial actions, the deacon, ministering the Eucharist to the sick, children's liturgy, Eucharistic adoration, Eucharistic processions, celebrating vespers in a parish, eucharistic ministries and the laity, the location of the tabernacle, etc.

However, Ceremonies is primarily a book to be used; a practical manual for clergy, MC's, sacristans, liturgical committees and all planning worship in parishes.

"Ceremonies is a timely work. It corrects mistaken interpretations with precise guidance and reasoned arguments. It also provides rapid access to official sources."

-Msgr. Peter Elliott

Msgr. Peter J. Elliott, a priest of the Archdiocese of Melbourne, works in the Vatican. Therefore, Ceremonies includes references to current practices in Rome, and provides practical solutions to problems with useful references to liturgical traditions and customs in various countries.

SIP_01_9.jpg Christianity, Democracy, and the American Ideal
$12.95
Why democracy needs Christianity

by Jacques Maritain
Compiled & Edited by James Kelly

Some Americans claim we should exclude Christian values from the public square. On the contrary, argues philosopher Jacques Maritain, good Christians make good citizens.

They live by gospel values: honesty, integrity, and compassion. They obey the law. They resist the selfishness that unbelief and materialism breed. And they subordinate their own interests to the common good.

No wonder, says Maritain, that American democracy — which arose from a Christian people — has served so well and lasted so long.

Here Maritain shows that in a society unleavened by religious ideals, an enduring democracy can never take root. And once a religious people abandons its faith, even the greatest democracy must wither and die. Untethered from transcendent values, democracy becomes little more than a struggle to be won by the most powerful and the ruthless.

The hour is late. Too long have we stood by while politicians promise never to let their religious beliefs influence their political judgments. Too long has a false understanding of democracy cowed us into laying aside our Christian values when we vote.

As Maritain demonstrates in these lucid pages, Christians are vital to democracy. Good Christians make good citizens, and good citizens make strong democracies. If America and her ideals are to endure, says Maritain, Christians and their values must not be excluded from public discourse, but eagerly welcomed into it.

osv_1931709300.gif The Cross at Ground Zero
$7.95
Millions of Americans gazed in disbelief as the magnificent World Trade Center buildings collapsed into piles of rubble on September 11, 2001. After the shock and horror wore off, the questions began. Where Was God On 9/11? How could this have happened? Why did God allow such evil? And then, the daunting thought—Where will God be when I need Him?

Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., addresses all these questions in his new book, The Cross at Ground Zero. He reassures us that the iron cross, found at the world trade center, leads to the cross of Jesus which stands at the center of all pain, all suffering, indeed all history. He explains that Jesus did not come to take away suffering. He came to sanctify suffering by His presence. He was at Ground Zero in the World Trade Center. He will be with you in your own personal Ground Zero whether it is the death of a child, a cancer diagnosis, the loss of a job.
