A Catechetical Exposition of the Sacrifice of the New Law: A Brief Explication of the Catholic Liturgy
ISBN: 9781496002167 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To endeavour to instruct the ignorant, to promote piety, and to remove unhappy prejudice, are aims laudable in every christian, but are particularly objects of pastoral zeal. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has ever been held, by Catholics, the principal homage of the Christian religion, and assiduous assistance thereat as one of the most useful, solid, and sanctifying exercises of devotion. It also is, and for some time has been, one of the chief butts of raillery, sarcasm, and scorn, to those who are apt to blaspleme whatsoever things they know not. The view of the Author, or rather Compiler...

A Mediaeval Mystic: A Short Account of the Life and Writings of John Ruysbroeck, Canon Regular of Groenendael
ISBN: 9781496002204 / Angielski / Miękka / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. THE object of the following unpretentious little volume is to give a simple and readable account in English of the life and writings of a remarkable Flemish Mystic of the fourteenth century, a contemporary of our own Walter Hilton. Though his memory and honour have never faded in his own native Belgium, and though France and Germany have vied with each other in spreading his teaching and singing his praises, the very name of Blessed John Ruysbroeck is practically unknown this side of the water. We are acquainted with only one small work in English dealing directly with the Saint or his work...

We are in this world, that we might know God, love Him, serve Him and thereby gain Heaven. Can we do this by our own power?

God the Teacher of Mankind: A Plain, Comprehensive Explanation of Christian Doctrine The Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Penance
ISBN: 9781496002303 / Angielski / Miękka / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the three years and a half in which our Lord Jesus Christ manifested himself as the Saviour and Teacher of mankind, he drew all hearts after him-the hearts of children, the hearts of the just, and even the hearts of sinners. This wondrous power came from the effect of our Lord's appearance upon those around him. A majestic sweetness shone forth in his every look, word, and gesture. He chose for his emblem the lamb, the gentlest of all creatures; and so brightly did this gentleness beam forth from his divine countenance that as soon as the holy Baptist beheld him, he cried out: "Behold...

History of the Catholic Church
ISBN: 9781496002464 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When we read in the New Testament how our beloved Lord Jesus Christ "went about doing good" in the land of Judea, preaching heavenly truths, imparting saying grace to men of good will, and infusing peace into the hearts of all, we are apt to indulge in feelings of regret that we too did not live in those happy days, that we were not permitted to enjoy his sacred presence and to hearken to his voice. Let us therefore examine and study carefully the plan adopted by our Saviour whereby he continues still to dwell on earth, forwarding the work of salvation in all lands and during all time. What...

Saint Clotilda
ISBN: 9781496002556 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. THE part played by women in the conversion of nations to the Gospel, suggests one of the most beautiful aspects of the history of Christianity. Nowhere do their real strength and their apparent weakness stand out in so touching a contrast. At first sight we might be tempted to believe that the fortunes of Catholic society and the great interests of the Christian world have been decided quite independently of any participation of the female sex. The Church has excluded women from the sacerdotal office, and has even commanded them, by the voice of the Apostle, to keep silence in the company of...

Saint Peter Fourier
ISBN: 9781496002624 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. SCARCELY three centuries separate us from the saintly man to whom, in 1898, the Holy See awarded the supreme honour of canonisation. What Bourdaloue said of St Francis of Sales, may be applied with even greater justice to Peter Fourier. Here is a saint of our own day, whose ever-living example has still a marvellous power to inspire and touch us. And yet, as portrayed by his first biographers, he is in no sense modern. If viewed from a purely mental standpoint, he is in certain respects far behind the seventeenth century in the perspective of history. Many traits in his life remind us of St...

Saint Vincent de Paul
ISBN: 9781496002662 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I N these pages St Vincent de Paul appears as one of what might be called the modern school of saints-as one of those who had realised with mind and heart the significance of the change of principle and temper introduced by the renaissance dividing the old order from the new, and inaugurating that conflict between them which men of faith believe to be directed to the saving of what is best in both, to the elimination of what is faulty, and so to their eventual reconciliation and assumption into something higher than either. He may not have been without that hankering after the ages of simple...

Scientific Theory and Catholic Doctrine
ISBN: 9781496002761 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Similarly, the Holy Father has repeatedly expressed the desire that the cultured classes be given clear evidence of the limitless, erroneous complications of so-called modern science, and of the harmony between the Church's doctrine and the incontestable data of the natural sciences. Dr. Zahm's lectures corresponded to this desire. It is simply silly to maintain that such questions are the exclusive prerogative of the secret circles of specialists and savants, since they are day after day brought before the general public by all manner of press products, newspapers, monthlies, books, and...

The present translation, therefore, which is both faithful and excellent in language, will be most acceptable to those whom this wonderful book has hitherto been closed. Although our Lord, by His apostle, has forbidden to women the public ministry of teaching in His Church, He has nevertheless reserved for them a great and resplendent office in the edification of His mystical Body. The lights and inspirations bestowed upon them, according to the words of the prophet Joel,...

Excerpt: St. Gregory of Nyssa writes, "Blessed dart, which carries with it into the heart. God who casts it." By which the holy Father would say, that when God pierces the heart with a dart of love, that is, enables it by some special illumination to know His goodness and His love, and the desire which He has to be loved in return, He Himself enters the heart with love's dart, being Himself love, and He who casts its darts: "For," as St. John writes, "God is charity." 1 Ephess 4:8. And as the dart remains...

His ascetic mysticism is very much in the Eastern tradition; if there were a "Latin Philokalia," St Eucherius would doubtless have a place in it. At the same time, his proverbs and apothegms, some of which may be found near the end of the present work, speak directly to people living in the world as much as to monks.
