Donald Calloway, MIC, shares gems or quotes on Mary that he was inspired to begin collecting when he was a seminarian. He includes a gem for each day of the year, drawn from the writings of the Popes, Saints, Blesseds, and Venerables. When these gems first appeared in his book Under the Mantle, many readers loved them and suggested he publish them in a separate book for daily prayer. He was delighted and took their advice. After praying the Angelus in St. Peter’s Square on Nov. 17, 2013, the Pope recommended to pilgrims a “spiritual medicine” called Misericordina. The Marian Fathers have brought this spiritual prescription to the U.S. as Mercycardin. Each package contains a rosary in its own vial-style pill bottle, with the words of the Divine Mercy Chaplet appearing on the label. Also included is a prayer card featuring the Chaplet and the Divine Mercy Vilnius image, the image painted according to St. Faustina’s vision of our Merciful Lord.

Gail Fatherless Motherless Fatherless takes the reader on an unforgettable journey inside Fortune 500 boardrooms and Madison Avenue screening rooms, behind one-way mirrors in America’s heartland and two-way screens in church confessionals, to Ireland’s highest mountain and inside the papal dining room of John Paul II in Rome. Father John Sweeney, pastor of a small Catholic parish on Philadelphia’s storied Main Line, is drawn into an apocalyptic vortex through the lives of parishioners Maggie Kealey, Michael Burns and Joe Delgado. Without warning they are ushered through the back door of the Revolution where they discover human embryos being created in laboratories and frozen in cryogenic freezers for a global black market. Flesh and blood characters - each struggling to achieve the American Dream discover instead a uniquely American nightmare. How each confronts the reality of ethical and moral dilemmas - while struggling to balance faith, family, and career - goes to the very heart of the Catholic experience in America.

How Firm a Foundation Marcus Grodi For Stephen LaPointe, the Bible was the only firm foundation for his life. He wanted to obey God in all things, and had given up a career to become an ordained minister. He loved to preach the Word and knew that one day he would stand before God, accountable for everything he preached. But there was one problem: How could he be certain what he was preaching was true? Wing Tip Sherry Boas Father Dante De Luz feels his very foundation crumble when his mother shares a death-bed secret. A secret that calls into question what he knows of his childhood, his parentage, and his self-identity. Alternating between Dante’s modern day story, and the story of his mother and father, Sherry Boas takes the reader on an exciting journey of romance, heartache, betrayal and most importantly, redemption.

Pillar & Bulwark Marcus Grodi After nearly losing his life to an assassin, Stephen LaPointe resigned as a Congregational minister.

Now a year later, he has disappeared. Out of love, as well as remorse, an old friend, his estranged wife, and a potential enemy set out separately to find him. This is a story of conversion—of heart, of mind, and of love.

If you have ever had trouble meditating while you pray the Rosary, this is the booklet for you. It presents a brief scriptural passage before each Hail Mary to help you stay focused on each mystery. The passages have been carefully selected so that as you pray each Hail Mary the story of the event being contemplated gradually unfolds. In addition to helping you keep your mind on the mysteries, each scripture passage also adds the power of God’s Word. As Pope John Paul II explains, when we use scripture to help us contemplate and “remember” with Mary the great mysteries of her Son, we are not merely “recalling information but allowing God to speak” (RVM, #30). The Rosary then becomes “a path of contemplation, … a compendium of the Gospel” (RVM, #1). 9780988761308 | $4.50 A Mother’s Bouquet Discover the heart of true fatherhood as it relates to the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

Grow in holiness within the wondrous vocation of motherhood with these rosary meditations written especially for moms. This booklet serves as an aid for busy mothers who want to embrace the beauty and the power of the Holy Rosary.

Rosary Mediations for Teens Mari Seaberg, Adrian Inclan & Maria Boas Rosary Meditations for Dads Fr. Doug Lorig Assist vocation directors and seminary formators in helping seminarians recognize the true voice of God and rightfully discern their vocation. Seminary formation must be interiorly appropriated; in other words, formation will be fruitful only if the seminarian allows Christ to transform his heart. The father and the priest can meet a need in the family and Church today: presenting the spiritual life as a journey to personal happiness. Many boys think that worship, prayer, and service to others is the way of women. This error in judgment is often because their fathers are absent in the home as initiators of prayer and instructors in moral life.

Father George Kosicki, CSB, explains in a deeply personal and insightful way why St. Faustina’s life, spirituality, and mission are of importance to us today. After writing numerous books based on the Diary of St. Faustina and leading several pilgrimages to her homeland of Poland, he opens this book with these lines about the great apostle of Divine Mercy, “I want to tell you about my favorite saint, who is important not only to me but to the Church of the third millennium.” Mercy Minutes: Daily Gems of St. Faustina to Transform Your Prayer Life Paperback, 6 x 4, 447 pp, 9781596142008 | $12.95 Mercy Minutes with Jesus: Praying Daily on Jesus’ Words from the Diary of St. Faustina Paperback, 6 x 4, 475 pp, 9781596141933 | $12.95 Now is the Time for Mercy Rev.

Come and meet her and discover why Pope John Paul II called her “a gift of God to our time.” May she become for you — as she is for Fr.
