By The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, 528 pages, soft leather cover, 3 ribbons
With the completion of this book, a step has been taken which we hope will bring the Church that much closer to fulfilling Sister Lucia’s dream. For the first time (to the best of our knowledge), the Church’s Liturgy and the Virgin’s Rosary, long intimately united in their supernatural end, are connected in a tangible manner. With sets of meditations corresponding to each day of the Liturgical year and to each hour of the Divine Office, the Rosary can now be prayed with holy Mother Church, as it were, guiding the thoughts of our hearts even as holy Mother Mary has long guided the images of our imaginations. Truly, these mysteries are not meant to be merely remembered. They are meant to be entered into. They are meant to be lived.

Make no mistake—Fr. Faber’s original work on the Seven Dolors of Our Lady (The Foot of the Cross, of which the present book is but a re-rendering of one chapter) is sublime. One could argue that it stands in the field of Marian literature virtually unsurpassed for the wealth of its insights and the grandeur of its expressions. Truly, its pathos is breathtaking. Its thoughts are deep and original and well-nigh heartbreakingly beautiful. It deserves to be read by every serious Catholic on earth, not once but many, many times; for advancing in the love of Mary, we know, is the surest, easiest way to advance in the love of Christ, and this is the whole purpose of our mortal existence.
Whoever you are, dear Catholic, whatever duties press upon you in your current state in life, you need not hesitate to pick up this modified masterpiece of Fr. Faber and immerse yourself its richness. It is perfectly accessible. It is a book for every Catholic, and that means you.

THE JESUIT RELATIONS are full of details of the life and works of some of the most heroic missionaries ever chronicled. These three volumes could properly be described as a summary of the thousands of documents comprising “The Relations” (as they are commonly named) of those first Jesuits who evangelized the area of North America known as New France from 1642 - 1710.In addition to those Eight Canonized Martyrs the stories of many other pioneer priests are outlined. Some are every bit as astounding as those canonized.Volume One covers those missionaries to the Iroquois and other tribes in New York, Quebec, and New England. Volume Two is primarily about those of Huronia, Ontario, and the Great Lakes states. Volume Three the missionaries to other Algonquin tribes.

Fr. John Cahill, O. P. - Paperback 228 pages
Who is this book for? Those interested in Catholic theology will find this tome a very useful and enlightening revelation of the true art of the dedicated theologian who delves deeply into the precise practice and history of his vocation. Familiarity with scholastic Latin is very useful for readers of this book. Fr. Cahill’s treatise is impressive and has long been a standard reference for any serious student of theology.
Our holy mother the Church, for the good of our souls, wishes to guide and protect our intellectual meandering and questioning so that it does not go off-track (to the detriment of souls) but only supplements and clarifies what has been done before. Therefore, as part of Her God-given duty to teach and to govern, She approves and/or censures the opinions and intellectual explorations of Her children, especially those theologians who spend a significant portion of their lives studying important issues. This in-depth study of the various degrees of censures used by the magisterium of the Church will give the attentive reader a better understanding of how deep truths may be explored and uttered, as well as showing what are the acceptable limits of this exercise of our intellect.
Contrary to what some people think, there is plenty of room in the Church for the advancement of deeper studies of the Deposit of Faith. It is true that mankind has in our possession the entirety of divinely revealed truth. We have all of the depositum fidei that will ever be required, however, what we lack is a complete grasp of the full meaning of it all. As a rational being, we are not only allowed; we are by our nature almost compelled to explore the ramifications of what has been revealed. The deposit of faith is complete, just as scripture is complete, but its depth of meaning will never be exhausted until we attain the beatific vision.

St. Margaret of Hungary, OP (Margit in Hungarian; January27, 1242 – January 18, 1270) was a Dominican nun and the daughter ofKing Béla IV of Hungary and Maria Laskarina. The 8th child of ten, she wasthe younger sister of St. Kinga of Poland (Kunegunda) and St. Yolanda of Polandand, through her father, the niece of the famed St. Elizabeth of Hungary. She wasa member of the illustrious Arpad family who gave many great rulers and saints tothe world over 300 years. Among them are the famous King St. Stephen crownedin 1000 AD as well as St. Irene, and two other St. Elizabeths.
Margaret was born during the Mongol invasion of Hungary (1241–42). Herparents vowed that if Hungary was liberated from the Mongols, they woulddedicate the child to religion. The three year old Margaret was entrusted by herparents to the Dominican monastery at Veszprém in 1245. Six years later shewas transferred to the Monastery of the Blessed Virgin founded by her parents onNyulak Szigete (Rabbit Island) near Buda (today Margaret Island, named after her,and a part of Budapest; the ruins of the monastery can still be seen). She spent therest of her life there, dedicating herself to religion and opposing all attempts of herfather to arrange a political marriage for her with King Ottokar II of Bohemia.
She lived in total humility, engaging in the most menial tasks even in the winterwhen her hands bled from the cold. She constantly fasted and refused nice clothesand royal comforts, remarking that she preferred the odor of sanctity when deadto smelling sweet only when alive. She spent her days in prayer, in devotion tothe Eucharist, and caring for the poor, lavishing on them whatever gifts herroyal family sent her.
This is her story.

Hebrews is one of Saint Paul's most important epistles and is theologically complex. Even though he was the Apostle to the Gentiles, he penned this for his Hebrew Christians in order to strengthen their knowledge and resolve in the face of persecution from their fellow unconverted Hebrews.
