Bible And The Anointing Of The Sick
$66.65

The Catholic Biblical Theology of the Sacraments series provides readers with a deeper appreciation of God’s gifts and call in the sacraments through a renewed encounter with God’s Word. In this addition to the series, Michael Barber offers a biblical approach to anointing of the sick, drawing from both the Old and New Testaments.

This book unpacks the riches of the Scriptures to explain what true healing in Christ involves. In addition, Barber demonstrates how an exegetical approach to the sacrament can advance our understanding of it. Topics include the biblical significance of oil; the relationship of physical healing and spiritual healing, including the forgiveness of sins; sin and death; Christ as the New Adam; the continuation of Jesus’s ministry in the church; the power of sacral anointing; Christ’s fulfillment of messianic hopes; and participation in Christ’s royal, priestly, and prophetic mission. The book is suitable for classroom use and parish ministry.

Series editors Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn teach at the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology, and Gray is also president of the Augustine Institute.

Gate Of Heaven
$34.95

“Salve, porta,” declares the ancient Marian antiphon Ave Regina Caelorum. “Hail, Gate of Heaven.” This is just one of the countless titles lavished on Mary, the Mother of Jesus, throughout two thousand years of Catholic tradition: she is the New Eve, the Ark of the Covenant, the Seat of Wisdom, the Morning Star, the Mystical Rose–the list goes on and on.

But is all of this emphasis on Mary unbiblical or unnecessary? What is Marian devotion all about?

10 Things Pope Leo XIV Wants You To Know
$5.99

A new era begins for the Church with Pope Leo XIV–Augustinian friar, missionary for distant lands, bishop among the poor, prefect entrusted with appointing pastors throughout the world, and now successor to Peter. Above all, Leo XIV has proven to be a tireless seeker of Truth. His vocation was born of that restlessness of heart to which Saint Augustine gave expression: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” In the Augustinian spirit, Leo XIV has trusted the power of the gospel to shape his style: humble yet firm, quiet yet courageous. His path has been marked by service, listening, and quiet fidelity–a shepherd who walks with seekers, unafraid of their questions, patient in accompaniment.

So, what does Pope Leo XIV want us to know in order to live the gospel more faithfully? How can we ensure that Christ remains the center of our lives? Leo XIV invites us to live a faith that is alive and open to the world. The following pages explore ten themes inspired by his first Urbi et Orbi blessing as Peter’s successor, given on May 8, 2025. Here we’re invited to embrace a posture of listening from one who has made that his life’s work.

Padre Pio And You
$24.95

Sometimes the saints can seem distant to us, although the Faith teaches that they are waiting to be our dearest friends and guides to Heaven. One of the most powerful modern-day saints and spiritual fathers is St. Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) – and he is waiting to meet you, wherever you are, just as he introduced himself to his spiritual daughter Mary O’Regan, who wrote these wonderful pages.

Padre Pio, an Italian Franciscan, continues from his place in Heaven to seek out souls from every walk of life to nurture and protect. In Pio you will find a father who prays for you to receive extraordinary graces, guides you through hard times, and helps you discern your vocation. Pio told a beloved spiritual daughter that he saw all his children in spirit when he offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Is yours one of the souls he is seeing now?

Through the lens of Pio’s letters to his directees, his counsels on various spiritual themes, and little-known historical events – from World War II “flights,” to hidden trials, to dramatic conversion stories, to humorous anecdotes – you will come to know the stigmatic friar as never before. You will absorb fascinating details about his life, beginning with his infancy in the care of saintly parents, and learn:

*The heart-pounding story of his first bilocation at age seventeen
*Ways that he was attacked and is able to assist you in the spiritual combat
*The role of dryness and darkness in prayer and temptations to unite you closer to God
*Five means he gave to his spiritual children to assist them on the path to salvation
*How to grow in more ardent love for Our Lady and go to Confession with true contrition
*How to triumph over corruption and persecution and genuinely forgive

Padre Pio led people in unique ways and offered profound insights on suffering; as a renowned Confessor, he provided healing for souls. This “humble friar who prays” had astonishing mystical gifts-as recounted in these pages-which were, in turn, shared by some of his spiritual children.

In the words of Padre Pio, “I have made a pact with the Lord, I will take my place at the gate of Paradise but I shall not enter until I have seen the last of my spiritual children enter…. When I have raised a soul, I never let it fall.” St. Pio waits for you.

Virtues Of The Saints
$29.95

Besides the graces of the Sacraments, God has another way for us to grow in faith from a mustard seed into a giant tree. And that way is a life of virtue. A virtue is a habit, something that must be practiced daily if it is to increase. At our Baptism, we received the virtues of faith, hope, and love. In this children’s book, authors Patrick O’Hearn and Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, with beautiful illustrations by Adalee Hude, describe 15 of the most important virtues for boys and girls. We begin by defining the virtue. Next, we provide that virtue’s root meaning followed by an example showing how one saint, from Our Lady and St. Joseph to St. Kateri Tekawitha and St. Carlo Acutis, and many more, lived out that virtue. Finally, we conclude with a prayer for that virtue. The best thing we can ask from the saints is a share in their virtues! May these holy men and women inspire you, your children, and your grandchildren to begin practicing the virtues of humility, justice, faith, hope, love, fortitude, generosity, gratitude, meekness, patience, perseverance, piety, prudence, spiritual joy, and temperance. Color illustrations throughout.

IVF Is Not The Way
$18.95

In a May 2024 Pew poll, more than two-thirds of Americans indicated they thought that IVF (in vitro fertilization) is good and should be accessible to anyone who wants it. Even among social conservatives – including the current U.S. administration – there is a push for wider accessibility for artificial procreation options. But is IVF truly the gift for infertile couples that it’s perceived to be?

In this thoughtful, eminently readable guide, Stacy Trasancos examines the issues associated with IVF through scientific, philosophical, and theological lenses and traces the history of artificial procreation and the developments of moral teachings to reveal syllogistically why IVF is not the “way of life.”

Drawing from her own research into the development of this teaching and the testimonies of those who have used or considered IVF, Dr. Trasancos addresses the concerns and ethical considerations related to IVF from an interdisciplinary perspective. She answers a range of pivotal questions, including:

*How can IVF be opposed to human dignity if it allows couples to bear new life?
*How are children conceived through IVF impacted by this decision?
*What do we as a society do about all the embryos in cryogenic storage?
*What are the Five Principles of Human Life?
*Why exactly does the Church oppose IVF?
*What rights do human embryos possess?
*How do we love embryonic children?

Through riveting case studies, Dr. Trasancos also deepens our understanding of the cross of infertility and, in doing so, provides those who long for a child with a reassuring supernatural perspective that God will always provide us with exactly the gifts we need most. Throughout these pages, seemingly pulled from today’s headlines, Dr. Trasancos reminds us, with both candor and sensitivity, of the fundamental truth that children are a gift and that every human has a right to be loved.

I Killed Maria Goretti
$18.95

“I know I am not worthy of her help, yet she is to me in my darkness of sin what the bright and shining star is to the mariner, for her pardon gives me hope.” – Alessandro Serenelli

Through vivid storytelling, this historical account reveals the disturbing influences and grim motives that possessed Alessandro Serenelli, St. Maria Goretti’s murderer. Yet it is much more than a chilling tale; this true narrative is a testament of transformation and redemption – God’s mercy shining forth through the most seemingly hopeless of situations.

Just as great literature and spiritual writing have the power to transform the soul and spur it on to heroic deeds, the force of immoral prose can corrupt and even drive the soul to unspeakable deeds. In part 1 of this book, Pietro Di Donato chronicles Serenelli’s early life and addiction to licentious and anarchical publications. In part 2, Serenelli’s harrowing journey unfolds, culminating in his crime against Maria, the young girl who chose purity and forgiveness over despair. This stunning story brings to life Serenelli’s long imprisonment, his struggles with guilt, and the redemption he experienced through Maria’s saintly intercession.

In the gripping pages of this classic, you will find:

*How unchecked passions and sins of the mind often lead to sins of the flesh
*Reminders that the light of grace is ever present, especially in your darkest moments
*Heroic forgiveness, even from Maria’s family, for Alessandro’s heinous crime
*The healing power of God’s infinite mercy, even for the most hardened sinners
*How the intercession of a saint in your life can help you attain salvation

Alessandro’s story is not just a reflection on his ultimate repentance but an inspiring witness to the power of faith and the redemptive love of Christ. Ideal for those seeking conversion, spiritual renewal, or a deeper understanding of reconciliation, this narrative is a beacon of hope for believers and nonbelievers alike??.

In constructing this searing account, Di Donato recounts his meetings with St. Maria’s sister Ersilia, friars who lived with Serenelli during the later part of his life, and Serenelli himself. Discussion questions are also included for personal and group reflection.

Understanding The Sacraments
$16.95

Why is the Catholic Church different from any other church? First, the Catholic Church is the only church founded by Jesus Christ Himself. All other Christian churches were founded by an ordinary man or woman. Second, the seven Sacraments. These are not just symbols but God’s guaranteed grace. They are Biblical, as they were instituted by Christ and entrusted to His Church. It is Christ Who acts and communicates His grace through Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation (Confession), Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders (Ordination), and Matrimony. In his engaging style, Fr. Chris Alar, host of the popular “Explaining the Faith” online talks, takes us “back to seminary” for a refresher course on what all Catholics should have learned. He answers such questions as, Why do we baptize infants? Where is Confession in the Bible? Is my marriage valid? And many more. “As St. Thomas Aquinas taught, ‘You cannot love what you do not know, ‘” Fr. Chris says. “I hope you will come to love your Catholic Faith more deeply, in a way that will change your life! And if you have already learned about the Sacraments, I believe this book may be a good review and a source of some new information. Let’s get started!”

Love Is A Journey
$51.42

Love is a Journey is the remarkable story of Albino Luciani, known to the world as Pope John Paul I, from his harrowing birth to his tragic death just 33 days into his 1978 pontificate–the shortest pontificate in history. After years of dedicated archival research, and after interviewing dozens of figures in the Catholic hierarchy, as well as Pope John Paul I’s niece, author Mo Guernon explores Luciani’s family history, personality, and character to reveal the very essence of the man who became known as the Smiling Pope. Guernon analyzes Luciani’s major public pronouncements and his most significant writings, which shed considerable light on his fundamental beliefs and worldview. In the concluding chapters of the book Guernon assesses Pope John Paul I’s legacy and journey toward sainthood–and the beguiling question of how the Catholic Church might have evolved had his pontificate endured through the 1980s and beyond.

The events of Luciani’s life are so compelling, so remarkable, so fast moving, that the narrative reads like a novel. Guernon paints a multi-dimensional portrait of the man that prominently displays his virtues and shortcomings, successes and failures, heroic deeds and personal doubts about his own courage. He highlights Luciani’s progressive views of issues of his time, the crises in his personal and priestly life, his discomfort with the spotlight and his anxiety about succeeding the popular Pope Paul VI, the relative simplicity of his inauguration as pope, and the unprecedented power he wielded on those with whom he came into contact both personally and through the mass media. Above all, Guernon attempts to capture the pope’s mysterious ability to engender love among people of all faiths, and nonbelievers too, with his inimitable humility and almost divine smile. A striking example of his influence came from punk rocker Patti Smith, who was so enamored of Luciani that she wrote a song about the pope and dedicated her 1979 album, Wave, to him.

Pope John Paul I’s impact on the world during his 33-day pontificate was simultaneously profound and perplexing–and, until now, underappreciated. In little more than a month, the Luciani dazzled people of all ages, races, and nations while modernizing the papacy and establishing an ambitious agenda for promoting peace and dialogue among all peoples, a program subsequently carried out by his successors, particularly Pope Francis. And in fact Pope Francis established the Vatican Pope John Paul

What Happened To Catholicism
$18.95

It is clear that since the Second Vatican Council the Church has been plagued with a terrible doctrinal and liturgical confusion that has contributed to the worst crisis in the Church since the Arian crisis.

Most Catholics of good will with orthodox faith can ‘sense’ the errors but perhaps cannot put into words what they know to be true by sound Catholic intuition. This book will help clarify the problem so that Catholics can form themselves and their families to withstand this great crisis. The book offers a historical background to the heresy of Modernism, and shows how it plays out in the doctrinal issues of our day.

Many Paths With Mary
$35.00

“The dynamic relationship of emerging popular piety and developing doctrine, in both its promise and peril, provides us with possibilities for thinking about how different cultures across the world already contribute to the Church, as they have down the ages.” –From the Introduction

Many Paths with Mary brings readers on an international journey, exploring how Mary, Mother of God, comes to be understood in different times and places: including 16th century Copacabana, Boliva, and Tepeyac, Mexico, 19th century Lourdes, France, and even more recently in Mexico. Michael J. Rogers explicates some of the many ways that the Holy Spirit speaks through the people of God when popular piety emerges in the meeting of distinct cultures, through moments of meaning, and amid ruptures in society. By demonstrating how popular piety can facilitate mutual understand and spiritual renewal, Rogers puts forth vital insights for forging a truly synodal Church, one that is able to “walk together” in the Spirit’s stirring call to all peoples, everywhere.

Caminemos Con Jesus 30th Anniversary Edition
$42.00

This timely update of a classic work in Latin/Hispanic theology includes a new Introduction by the author.

While the growth in both numbers and influence of Hispanics in North American Catholicism and Protestantism has been commented on widely, up until now there has been no systematic attempt to define a Hispanic theology. Roberto Goizueta, a Cuban-American theologian, aware that “Hispanic” and “Latino” can be terms imposed artificially on diverse peoples, finds a common link in the Spanish language and in a shared culture. Central to this culture is the experience of exile, of being a people at the margins of a society, who must find and make their way together. Central also is faith, and its grounding in this experience of being in exile. In delineating the very particular nature and worldview of Hispanic/Latino theology, Caminemos con Jesus challenges both traditional Euro-American theologies and modern Western epistemological assumptions. It examines the implications of this theological method for the Church and the academy, as well as for the future of the Latino community and North American society. Caminemos con Jesus provides lessons in discipleship for non-Hispanics and Hispanics alike, for students of contemporary theology, and all those engaged in pastoral and church-based work.

Hypotheses About Mary
$18.95

When Vittorio Messori published his first book, Hypotheses about Jesus, it became such an immediate worldwide success that many encouraged him to write Hypotheses about Mary in its wake. He has done so, and, to no one’s surprise, Messori has been quickly rewarded with numerous foreign translations and reprints, including this new edition.

This masterful volume of more than sixty reflections may be read piecemeal or from cover to cover. Messori’s extensive research forms a lively and colorful mosaic: dogma is united to enthralling anecdotes, biblical exegesis to apparitions, spirituality to little-known histories, theology to mystery. Here you will find scholars, literary figures, visionaries, pilgrims, and the miraculously healed — saints and sinners, inquisitors and heretics, emperors and peasants, all intertwined.

Messori offers a sometimes-shocking series of investigations into what can be a secret world that he encounters as a declared devotee, although allergic to the syrupy rhetoric of a certain devotionalism. His pages are both rigorous and instructive in evaluating arguments and controversies, reflecting the vivacity and clarity of a great journalist and relentless scholar.

In this stirring work, you will perceive the role of Our Lady not only in Christianity but in Islam and in the secular world, from the earliest centuries. Through apologetics and spiritual insights, you will glean:

*How, by entering into intimacy with Jesus, you enter into Mary’s home

*Why true ecumenism involves sharing the treasure of Marian devotion

*The heart of the mission of this Steadfast Woman, and her titles and intercession worldwide

*The true, great Miracle of the grotto of Lourdes — even more amazing than the inexplicable cures that occur there

*What extensive scientific studies and archaeology show about Marian phenomena

*Fascinating details of seldom remembered apparitions of Our Lady and St. Joseph

As you learn about the “Marian deposit” of the Church, you will see how you cannot separate the Son from the Mother. And, above all, you will find in the words of Messori how the Mother defends the Son and how she shields us, her children, in the mantle of her protection.

Martyrs Of The New Millennium
$24.95

This book is the thundering voice of the martyrs of our time. Though mostly overlooked, the harrowing stories of hundreds of thousands of fellow Christians from around the world who gave their lives for the Faith in recent years – including in full-scale genocides of Christians in several countries – are a part of our history crying out to be told.

Here is that history.

Robert Royal chronicles the heartrending stories of heroic priests, religious, and laypeople who are being brutally persecuted, tortured, and martyred today by various groups, including Islamists, criminal gangs, political extremists, and satanic cults. He reveals how thousands more are right now living courageously under oppressive regimes facing similar threats and dangers daily.

These are our brothers and sisters in the Faith, the saints in our midst! You will learn about them, the role spiritual combat plays in their persecution, and how you can help alleviate their suffering. While doing so you will also discover:

*How the early Christian martyrs provided one of the first “books of spirituality”
*The true definition of a Christian martyr and five criteria to be considered a martyr
*Teachings of recent popes on the new martyrdom, including oblatio vitae
*How “blasphemy laws” are misconstrued to accuse and condemn Christians unjustly
*The most dangerous place to be a Catholic priest (You will be shocked!)
*The country where nine out of ten Christians martyrs worldwide are killed
*The tremendous sufferings of “white martyrs” and red martyrs

In these gripping pages, you will also see how even Christians who aren’t martyrs by definition continue to be powerful witnesses amid the most dire circumstances, proclaiming the true Faith and radiating God’s light in the face of the most diabolical cruelty.

This watershed work gives Tertullian’s famous words “the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church” an entirely new meaning.

Life : My Story Through History
$19.95

For the first time, Pope Francis tells the story of his life as he looks back on the momentous world events that have changed history–from his earliest years during the outbreak of World War II in 1939 to the turmoil of today.

An extraordinary personal and historical journey, Life is the story of a man and a world in dramatic change. Pope Francis recalls his life through memories and observations of the most significant occurrences of the past eight decades, from the Holocaust to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Videla’s coup in Argentina to the moon landing in 1969, and even the 1986 World Cup in which Maradona scored the unforgettable “hand of God” goal.

Here are the frank assessments and intimate insights of a pastor reflecting on the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 2001 terrorist attack on America and the collapse of the Twin Towers, the great economic recession of 2008, the Covid-19 pandemic, the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI, and the subsequent conclave that elected him Pontiff. The “pope callejero” recounts these world-changing moments with the candor and compassion that distinguishes him, and offers important messages on major crises confronting us now, including social inequalities, climate change, international war, atomic weapons, racial discrimination, and the battles over social and cultural issues.

Gods Wounds : The Remarkable Truth Of Those Who Bore The Signs Of Christ’s
$18.95

In the long, wonderful, and sometimes weird history of supernatural phenomena in the Catholic Church, perhaps the most stunning example is the stigmata: the miraculous appearance of Christ’s holy wounds on the bodies of ordinary believers. For centuries, these manifestations of the marks of Jesus’s passion have been a subject of great piety and devotion-and controversy. Are they real or are they faked? What is the evidence? And if they are real, what could possibly be God’s reason for causing them? In God’s Wounds, John Clark offers what may be the most thorough, honest, and faithful reckoning with the stigmata ever written. Neither cynical nor naive, he takes evidence for the phenomena at face value and tries to make sense of it both medically and spiritually. He looks at stigmatists both famous (like St. Francis and Padre Pio) and obscure, and he scrutinizes the details of historical accounts for cohesion with science, reason, and the Catholic tradition. God’s Wounds is a uniquely valuable new work on many levels. As a sleuthing history of the stigmata, it reveals the breadth and detail of this fascinating miracle over time. As an apologetic for the miraculous, it will help you understand and explain (to unbeliever and skeptical Christian alike!) the wondrous and extraordinary ways that God sometimes works in history. And perhaps above all, as a meditation on the Passion it will strengthen your devotion to the One who first bore these sacred marks for our salvation.

Sirach
$83.31

The seventeen New Testament volumes in the successful Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series have been widely acclaimed. The series recently expanded to include readable yet substantive Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament books as prophesying and prefiguring Christ.

In Sirach, Andre Villeneuve makes a lesser-known deuterocanonical book accessible to readers. Drawing connections between Sirach, ancient Jewish and Christian commentaries, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Villeneuve demonstrates that Sirach is a treasure trove of enduring wisdom that continues to speak to every age.

Written from a standpoint of faith in the Holy Spirit’s inspiration of Scripture, CCSS Old Testament commentaries are designed for preaching, teaching, and applying Scripture to Christian life today. They include quotations from Church documents, Church Fathers, and saints and are packed with features that make them particularly useful to those doing ministry in Catholic parishes. General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).

Spiritual Tractates
$44.95

Abbot of Ford, bishop of Worcester, archbishop of Canterbury-Baldwin remained a contemplative in a world of medieval intrigue. The acerbic Gerald the Welshman, who admired few people and accompanied Baldwin on visitation in Wales, considered him gullible and further out of his depth at each ecclesiastical promotion. the Benedictines of Canterbury cathedral found his unworldliness vexsome. But to the Cistercians of Ford, in Dorser, he was loved as a spiritual guide and teacher of prayers.

The Spiritual Tractates were written almost entirely during the decade Baldwin lived at Forde, probably as sermons which were then recast later. They reveal a man thoroughly and happily at home in cistercian spirituality, an acute theologian well aware of contemporary currents, and one of the last true representatives of the rich patristic-monastic tradition.

Gods Influencer : Holy Advice From St. Carol Acutis

He played video games, excelled athletically and academically, manifested contagious joy and wit – even in suffering – and befriended all those he met. St. Carlo Acutis (1991-2006), already hailed “the greatest saint of the century,” was a Thomas Aquinas in blue jeans.

It’s almost unheard of that parents take part in the beatification of their own child. So, too, is it uncommon for parents to miraculously be brought back to the Faith and dedicated Christian living by their child. All this happened in the lives of Antonia and Andrea, the young parents of Carlo, who was beatified on October 10, 2020, by Pope Francis and will be canonized on April 27, 2025.

Reading these intimate stories, you will be struck by how very ordinary their life together was, how common and within reach, and how extraordinary it became once this amazing young man threw his arms open wide to God in his life.

*Embrace seven “special secrets” on becoming a saint

*Fall in love with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and transmit the Faith spontaneously to others

*Make fruitful Confessions and kindle your spiritual progress in daily practical ways

Through the lens of his spiritual wisdom, you will discover how all of creation points to the Holy Eucharist and why the Real Presence is the source of all family life, evangelization, and holiness. Additionally, you will read testimonies about St. Carlo’s generosity to the poor, the sick, the suffering, the homeless, and the disabled.

Jesus Wept : Seven Popes And The Battle For The Soul Of The Catholic Church
$35.00

From the best-selling author and former New York Times investigative reporter, an unprecedented look at the defining struggles of the modern Catholic Church, told through the lives of the last seven popes

When the jolly Italian peasant-turned-cardinal Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli of Venice was elected Pope John XXIII in 1958, change was in the air. The Church, many said, had refused to enter the twentieth century. In response, Pope John launched Vatican II, an “ecumenical council” that summoned hundreds of church leaders to Rome. It marked one of the most progressive turns the Church had taken in centuries: “medicine of mercy,” as Pope John called it. Yet not everyone in the Church was prepared to accept this modernization. The lines were drawn–in a battle that continues to rage into the twenty-first century.

In Jesus Wept, Philip Shenon takes us inside the Holy See to reveal its intricacies, hypocrisies, and hidden maneuverings, bringing all the momentous disputes and issues vividly to life: priestly celibacy, birth control, homosexuality, restoring ties with other Christians and Jews, shameful sex abuse crimes, the role of women in the Church.

In his rich portrayals of the popes from John to Francis, Shenon draws on research across four continents, including hundreds of interviews and the exhaustive archival material. He also brings to light other key figures in the Church, such as Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani, the incredibly powerful, conservative, and staunchly anticommunist director of the Holy Office under Pius XII, who lived proudly by the motto semper idem–“always the same.” This is a consummate, vibrant history of the modern Church.
