Moreover, its approach is always dignified, reverent and commanding of respect. The result is that the reader will garner a true picture of the reasonableness, thoroughness and beauty of the Catholic religion that - with grace - will all but guarantee the assent of his will if he approaches the book with honesty and integrity. This book belongs in every Catholic home. It is unparalleled as a review, as a catch-up course for the poorly informed, or as an introduction to the truth of the Catholic Faith for converts.

Says the priesthood admits of no mediocrity; that a priest will either be a true priest and do immense good, or he will be an instrument of great evil. Gives firm, practical instructions to priests for both their personal life and their ministry, delicacy of conscience, hearing confessions, good example, etc. By one of the greatest priests who ever lived. Our laymen should put this providentially provided book into the hands of every priest. TAN Books Quantity
1938 edition. Nine chapters on the nature and essence of the priesthood by the late auxiliary bishop of Cologne, Germany. In the 1974 Foreword, Fr. John M. Dougherty, S.S. says it contains the most inspiring, eloquent, and convincing pages I have ever read on this most exalted of all vocations. The book is a masterpiece, and if I were a bishop I would see to it that a copy of it were in the hands of each of my priests. And if I were a seminary rector, I would do all I could to place a copy in the hands of every member of my faculty and of each of my students. Quantity
In The Priest in Union with Christ, the famous Thomistic theologian Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. expounds in a disciplined manner upon the specific holiness of the priesthood and the supernatural fruitfulness of the priestly apostolate. Steeped in Sacred Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas and other traditional Catholic sources, the author presents the classic Catholic traditions on the priestly vocation?traditions which many seminarians and young priests today may have never even heard of. He begins by explaining the character and the specific sacramental grace of Holy Orders, as well as the central sacerdotal work: to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. From this foundation he proceeds to the interior life of the priest, and then to the priest's apostolate as confessor; as preacher and as spiritual director, keeping constantly focused on the great twofold goal of every priest's life: the glory of God and the salvation of souls. For without this constant bias toward eternity in all he does, the priest is fundamentally off course. TAN Books & Publishers Spring 2002 Quantity
All Catholics should go through three “conversions” in their spiritual life—but many do not, and thus remain spiritually stunted all their lives. In this compact book the famous Thomist Fr. Garrigou-LaGrange, who was perhaps the greatest theologian of the 20th century, sets forth the classic Catholic traditions on the spiritual life as the full flowering of Sanctifying Grace in the soul. He explains the three stages of the spiritual life—the Purgative Way, the Illuminative Way, and the Unitive Way—showing the transitions or conversions from one period to another. Basing his teaching on Scripture, the Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John of the Cross and St. Catherine of Siena, he explains the three conversions in the lives of the Apostles, the analogous transitions in our physical development, the role of the infused contemplation, and the characteristics of the three stages, stating that “the fruits of the third conversion are the same as those of Pentecost.” In the process, he shows how the Protestant notion of the spiritual life is radically corrupted by the Lutheran theory of justification or conversion. In all Three Conversions of the Spiritual Life provides a magnificent doctrinal map of the spiritual life and a great foundation for understanding the Catholic traditions of ascetical and mystical theology—as well as the central purpose of our life on earth.

The fascinating life story of Padre Pio, with emphasis on his life as a seminarian, young priest and his early years at San Giovanni Rotondo. From this small, remote mountain friary, he became world famous and exercised unbelievable influence on the entire world, though he was soon forbidden by his superiors to preach, to correspond or to write. Covers his early work with Mary Pyle, and with the American GIs who came to visit him during WWII when his part of Italy was liberated. Padre Pio developed a special love for America and Americans - to the point that he wished that all Americans would become his spiritual children. This book demonstrates his amazing sense of humor, his prayer and fasting, his uncanny knowledge of people (even before they visited), and his profound supernatural awareness. In sum, Padre Pio and America will instill a profound awe in readers over the impact a truly saintly priest can have on all who come into contact with him! TAN Books Spring 2006
