<DIV>The Second Vatican Council says, "We ought to try to discover a new reverence for the Eucharistic mystery. Something is happening that is greater than anything we can do. The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is the font from which all her power flows."This profound statement about the Eucharist stands at the center of this book by Cardinal Ratzinger. He compellingly shows us the biblical, historical, and theological dimensions of the Eucharist. The Cardinal draws far-reaching conclusions, focusing on the importance of one's personal devotion to and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, for the personal reception of Communion by the individual Christian, as well as for the life of the Church. For Ratzinger, any transformation of the world on the social plane grows out of the celebration of the Eucharist. He beautifully illustrates how the omnipotent God comes intimately close to us in the Holy Eucharist, the Heart of Life.</DIV>

God Is Near Us: The Eucharist, the Heart of Life

No mother has ever shown herself to be both so tender and so powerful as Our Lady in her apparitions 500 years ago to the Indian Juan Diego. Today the Virgin of Guadalupe displays, more than ever, her tenderness and power in so many places around the world. How did the seemingly impossible story all happen? What amazing mysteries does the Tilma of Juan Diego hold? Are so many stories of miracles true?
Thrilling historical reenactments in this powerful docu-drama transport us to the place and story of the apparitions as if we were actually there. Shocking, unprecedented testimonies from people in Mexico, the USA and other countries add a universal dimension to Mary's crucial message. They reveal to us how the irresistible love of the Mother of God and of Humanity consoles and heals the wounds of the hearts of those who turn to Her. This film is available in both English and Spanish.

<DIV>IllustratedThis volume in the Vision Books series of saints for youth combines a world famous Catholic novelist, Louis de Wohl, with one of the most thrilling and dramatic saint's lives in history, St. Joan of Arc. De Wohl uses his famed narrative skill to tell young people about the brave teenage French girl who had visions and led armies in battle, but also about how her entire life testifies to the amazing power of God's grace. It's all here: how Joan, a humble maiden in an insignificant town, was told by St. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret to lead the French in battle against the English; how she finally succeeded in convincing the French of the truth of her mission; how she met with fantastic success but was betrayed, captured, and imprisoned; and finally, how she suffered through a politically motivated trial for heresy and was burned at the stake. Best of all, de Wohl is not interested solely in the external details of Joan's life, but in Joan's all-encompassing love for God, which informed all her courageous actions from beginning to end. You'll not only thrill to Joan's heroism; your heart will delight in her example of loving surrender to God's will. Every detail of her life will ring out to you as a joyful witness to the grace of God. This book is now part of Renaissance Learning&#x2019;s Accelerated Reader program. Quizzes are currently available. </DIV>

Saint Joan: The Girl Soldier

<DIV>In the late third century, more and more people withdrew to the radical seclusion of the desert so as to live entirely for God under the direction of a spiritual father. Among these "Desert Fathers" one figure is especially preeminent: Saint Anthony the Hermit. This book takes the reader back to the hour when monasticism was born and describes the life of those revolutionary Christians who sought God in the Egyptian desert. The focus of the book is the life and work of Saint Anthony, whose experiences of the spiritual life have a timeless beauty and validity, even for those not called to live as a monk. The second half of the book presents other Desert Fathers, such as Paul of Thebes, Pachomius, and Simeon Stylites, as well as the great founders of the monastic communities in Western Europe who were inspired by them: John Cassian, Columban, and Benedict, for example. "The monk's self-denial begins radically in precisely those departments of life which have perennially seemed to be the most important: ownership, self-determination and sexuality. At the same time those who admonish so uncomfortably become the salt that lends Christianity its original flavor. . . . Just as the saints are God's specific answer to the needs of a given time, so too are the religious orders that have been founded over the course of the centuries." - Peter Görg</DIV>

The Desert Fathers: Saint Anthony and the Beginnings of Monasticism

<DIV>In this magnificent and stirring novel, Louis de Wohl turns his famed narrative skill to the story of the soldier and merchant's son who might have been right-hand man to a king ... and who became instead the most beloved of all saints. Set against the tempestuous background of 13th Century Italy and Egypt, here is the magnificent and inspiring story of Francis Bernardone, the brash, pleasure-loving young officer who was to become immortalized as St. Francis of Assisi. The story teems with action, pageantry and intrigue with finely conceived characters-the beautiful, saintly Clare, Frederick, the hawk-faced King of Sicily and Holy Roman Emperor, the Sultan Al Kamil, Pope Innocent III. The scene shifts from Assisi, Rome and Sicily to the deadly sands of Egypt. This book was made into a feature film by 20th Century Fox entitled Francis of Assisi, now available on video from Ignatius Press. </DIV>

The Joyful Beggar: A Novel of St. Francis of Assisi

How does a city boy who only lived to the age of fifteen &quot;go viral&quot; more than a decade after he died? Discover the story of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the first millennial to be beatified by the Catholic Church. Born in 1991, the same year as the launch of the World Wide Web, Carlo has been hailed by the pope as an example of love and holiness in our complex digital age. This tech-savvy Italian teen has shown the world that computer coding and video games are no obstacle to sainthood. From a young age, Carlo&#39;s enthusiasm for Jesus was contagious. His witness brought his own family back to faith and even helped convert his Hindu au pair to Catholicism. Carlo called the Eucharist &quot;my highway to heaven&quot; and was eager to tell everyone about the incredible reality of Christ&#39;s true presence in the world. To this end, he used his computer to help design an exhibition dedicated to eucharistic miracles that has traversed the globe. Vatican journalist Courtney Mares has traveled in the footsteps of Acutis across Italy to tell his story in depth, interviewing many whose lives he helped transform. This book paints a portrait of him as seen through the eyes of his friends, family, teachers, priests, doctors, classmates, and followers. Features an eight-page color photo insert and an account of the miracles attributed to Acutis&#39; intercession, including one certified by the Vatican. Carlo sought no attention for himself while alive, yet in the years after his death, he has become a global &quot;influencer for God&quot;.

Blessed Carlo Acutis: A Saint in Sneakers

<DIV>Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle is a Catholic author, a radio and television host, and an inspirational speaker known and admired from coast to coast. Yet with all of her public exposure, she has revealed very little about her personal history, that is, until now. When she discovered that sharing her struggles gives encouragement to others, she was persuaded to write this story of her life.Growing up in a Polish-American Catholic family, Donna-Marie was blessed with hard-working parents who provided a stable home for their eight children. At times her childhood was golden and carefree, but other times it was tarnished by pain that she felt was best left unspoken as she sought God for help and strength.After she left home after high school, her path took some harrowing turns. A Vietnam veteran fiancé snapped and held her against her will. She suffered pregnancy loss, serious illness, divorce, and single motherhood. Perhaps her greatest trial was an epic custody battle in which she needed to defend both her reputation as a mother and the safety of her five children.Yet through all the dark valleys, Donna-Marie kept the fire of her faith burning. Helping her to see the beauty of the crosses in her life, and to rely on the presence and the providence of God, were saintly souls who became her friends and mentors. One of these was Blessed Mother Teresa, who was her confidant and spiritual mother for ten years.</DIV>

The Kiss of Jesus: How Mother Teresa and the Saints Helped Me to Discover the Beauty of the Cross

&quot;The ecological movement discovered that &#39;nature&#39; prescribes for us a moderation that we cannot ignore with impunity. Unfortunately, &#39;human ecology&#39; has still not been made concrete. A human being, too, has a &lsquo;nature&rsquo; that is prescribed for him, and violating or denying it leads to self-destruction.&quot; &mdash; Benedict XVI, from the preface This collection of selected works is Benedict XVI&#39;s heartfelt call for Europe to rediscover its true origin and identity, in order to become once again a beacon of beauty and humanity for the world. Such a revival would be not simply about imposing the truths of faith as the foundation of Europe, but about making a fundamental choice for justice: to live as if God exists rather than as if he does not. Just as Pope John XXIII once called on the great nations of the earth to avoid a devastating nuclear war, Benedict XVI addresses not only Europe but the whole West, so that, by again finding their own soul as a people, they can save the world from self-destruction&mdash;both physical and spiritual. &quot;With his characteristic clarity, immediate accessibility, and at the same time depth, the Pope Emeritus magnificently outlines here the &#39;idea of Europe&#39; that undoubtedly inspired its Founding Fathers and is the basis for its greatness; the definitive dimming of this ideal would ratify its complete and irreversible decline.&quot; &mdash;&#160;Pope Francis, from the Introduction

The True Europe: Its Identity and Mission

<DIV>In this powerful book, the renowned exorcist of Rome tells of his many experiences in his ministry as an exorcist doing battle with Satan to relieve the great suffering of people in the grip of evil. The importance of the ministry to expel demons is clearly seen in the Gospels, from the actions of the Apostles, and from Church history. Fr. Amorth allows the reader to witness the activities of the exorcist, to experience what an exorcist sees and does. He also reveals how little modern science, psychology, and medicine can do to help those under Satan's influence, and that only the power of Christ can release them from this kind of mental, spiritual or physical suffering.An Exorcist Tells His Story has been a European best-seller that has gone through numerous printings and editions. No other book today so thoroughly and concisely discusses the topic of exorcism.</DIV>

<DIV>Michael O'Brien presents a thrilling apocalyptic novel about the condition of the Roman Catholic Church at the end of time. It explores the state of the modern world, and the strengths and weaknesses of the contemporary religious scene, by taking his central character, Father Elijah Sch&#228;fer, a Carmelite priest, on a secret mission for the Vatican which embroils him in a series of crises and subterfuges affecting the ultimate destiny of the Church. Father Elijah is a convert from Judaism, a survivor of the Holocaust, a man once powerful in Israel. For twenty years he has been &#34;buried in the dark night of Carmel&#34; on the mountain of the prophet Elijah. The Pope and the Cardinal Secretary of State call him out of obscurity and give him a task of the highest sensitivity: to penetrate into the inner circles of a man whom they believe may be the Antichrist. Their purpose: to call the Man of Sin to repentance, and thus to postpone the great tribulation long enough to preach the Gospel to the whole world. In this richly textured tale, Father Elijah crosses Europe and the Middle East, moves through the echelons of world power, meets saints and sinners, presidents, judges, mystics, embattled Catholic journalists, faithful priests and a conspiracy of traitors within the very House of God. This is an apocalypse in the old literary sense, but one that was written in the light of Christian revelation. </DIV>

Father Elijah: An Apocalypse (Audiobook)

<DIV>Is truth knowable? If we know the truth, must we hide it in the name of tolerance? Cardinal Ratzinger engages the problem of truth, tolerance, religion and culture in the modern world. Describing the vast array of world religions, Ratzinger embraces the difficult challenge of meeting diverse understandings of spiritual truth while defending the Catholic teaching of salvation through Jesus Christ. But what if it is true? is the question that he poses to cultures that decry the Christian position on man's redemption. Upholding the notion of religious truth while asserting the right of religious freedom, Cardinal Ratzinger outlines the timeless teaching of the Magisterium in language that resonates with our embattled culture. A work of extreme sensitivity, understanding, and spiritual maturity, this book is an invaluable asset to those who struggle to hear the voice of truth in the modern religious world. "Beyond all particular questions, the real problem lies in the question about truth. Can truth be recognized? Or, is the question about truth simply inappropriate in the realm of religion and belief? But what meaning does belief then have, what positive meaning does religion have, if it cannot be connected with truth?" —Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger From the Preface</DIV>

This moving story shows how a family found joy after their hopes and dreams were shattered by the rare, fatal neurological illness of their two sons. Told by the family's father, a popular Catholic radio host and marriage counselor, it recounts the way he and his wife received the courage and the support they needed to give their children abundant, fulfilling lives in spite of their gradual decline.What initially seemed to be a tragedy for Joe Sikorra’s family became a story of human triumph, an outcome made possible by the compassion and mercy of God. Their example can help those facing unexpected losses and challenges to believe that by placing their trust in Providence they too can overcome hardships with the most powerful force on earth—God's love.

Michael O’Brien: His Newest Apocalyptic Book

<DIV>Is marriage the foundation of family life? Many people today would say, ಜNo!ಝ Others would say, ಜYes!ಝ, but they would define ಜfamilyಝ and ಜmarriageಝ in ways at odds with how the words have been used almost throughout human history. In this revised and expanded edition of Marriage: The Rock on Which the Family is Built, internationally-renowned theologian William E. May makes the case for marriageಙs foundational role for family, with marriage defined as the union of one man and one woman. Drawing on Pope John Paul IIಙs ಜtheology of the bodyಝ, he explains the person-affirming, love-enabling, life-giving, and sanctifying nature of marriage. He shows how marriage is necessarily a complementary union of man and woman and how this rules out the idea of ಜsame-sexಝ marriage. May argues, drawing on Popes Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, that marriage fully respects the equal dignity of husband and wife as persons, while recognizing their unique, exclusive, enduring, complementary contributions to their union. Likewise, he shows how marriage honors the truth that each new human life brought about by sexual union is a person equal in dignity to his mother and father. Whatಙs more, both reason and revelation are used to show that only the family, founded on marriage as an enduring, mutually-exclusive union of one man and one woman, provides the proper context for begetting and raising children. Reproductive technologies are also critically examined and the author argues that human beings ought to be begotten in an act of spousal love, not made through in vitro fertilization. Furthermore, the role of the family as the ಜdomestic churchಝ, a community of holiness, is explored. This expanded edition includes new chapters: ಜಘMan and Woman He Created Themಙ: Pope John Paul IIಙs Catechesis on Human Sexualityಝ and ಜPope Benedict XVI and Marriage,ಝ the latter summarizing Benedictಙs thought on marriage, particularly as found in his first encyclical Deus Caritas Est. Also included is Pope John Paul IIಙs ಜLetter to Familiesಝ. </DIV>

"A modern retelling of the parables The Good Shepherd and The Prodigal Son." - Michael O'Brien Canadian bookseller Alex Graham is a middle-age widower whose quiet life is turned upside down when his college-age son disappears without any explanation or trace of where he has gone. With minimal resources, the father begins a long journey that takes him for the first time away from his safe and orderly world. As he stumbles across the merest thread of a trail, he follows it in blind desperation, and is led step by step on an odyssey that takes him to fascinating places and sometimes to frightening people and perils. Through the uncertainty and the anguish, the loss and the longing, Graham is pulled into conflicts between nations, as well as the eternal conflict between good and evil. Stretched nearly to the breaking point by the inexplicable suffering he witnesses and experiences, he discovers unexpected sources of strength as he presses onward in the hope of recovering his son--and himself.

In this episode, Ignatius Press founder Fr. Joseph Fessio talks to his friend and fellow Jesuit, Fr. Robert McTeigue, about Fr. McTeigue’s new book, “Christendom Lost and Found: Meditations for a Post Post-Christian Era” (<a href='http://bit.ly/3Rl25FY'>http://bit.ly/3Rl25FY</a> ).
 
The book is a kind of a war journal, written between 2020 and 2021 during “the COVID Interruption” and the violent outbursts in cities across America. Witnessing cultural collapse in every direction, Fr. McTeigue offers meditations on what it will take to build Christ-centered cultures in our time—what must be retrieved and what must be renewed.

128: Three Latin Phrases You Should Use

In a time of world upheaval, God raised up an extraordinary priest in Fr. Aloysius Ellacuria, CMF (1905&ndash;1981). So completely did he sacrifice his will in the service of God and neighbor that blessings were showered upon him in abundance&mdash;and upon those whose lives he touched. His sanctity was confirmed by miracles and countless conversions. But suffering also became his constant companion, and he meekly endured many dark nights.
This new documentary film tells the story of the famous &ldquo;Fatima priest&rdquo; and traces his fascinating life journey from his Basque home in Northern Spain to the United States, Mexico, Portugal, and back to the USA. It interviews many people who worked closely with him and others whose lives he deeply impacted. Filmed on location in many beautiful places, the film illustrates the character, mission, and spirituality of a truly remarkable priest who changed the lives of so many, especially through his deep love for&mdash;and his efforts to spread devotion to&mdash;the Holy Eucharist and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

YOUCAT is an accessible, contemporary expression of the Catholic Faith. It was written with the help of young Catholics, especially for high-school-age people and young adults. YOUCAT is short for Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church.The appealing graphic format includes Questions-and-Answers, highly readable commentary, summary definitions of key terms, Bible citations, and inspiring and thought-provoking quotes from Saints and others in the margins. What's more, YOUCAT is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, so people can go deeper. YOUCAT aligns with the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:<ul><li>What Catholics believe and why (doctrine)</li><li>How Catholics celebrate the mysteries of the faith (sacraments)</li><li>How Catholics are to live (moral life)</li><li>How they should pray (prayer and spirituality)</li></ul>The questions are direct and honest, even at times tough; the answers straightforward, relevant, and compelling.Uses—Many of the YOUCAT books can be used as a primary text to guide an entire year of classroom instruction. The sequential progression of the material, mirroring the fourfold structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, makes it an easy-to-use text. However, the books are structured so that you can focus only on the key areas that you want to cover or learn about. The choice is yours.<ul><li>Primary Text</li><li>A Supplemental Resource to Any Catechetical Series</li><li>Youth Group Discussion Guides</li><li>Reference Book</li><li>Family Faith Formation at Home</li><li>Young Adult Discussion Groups</li><li>Great Gifts for Sacrament Prep<ul><li>Parents of First Holy Communion, First Reconciliation, and Confirmation</li><li>Confirmation</li><li>Graduation from Middle School or High School</li></ul></li><li>OCIA</li></ul>
