Msgr. George Moorman   
No. 1880     ISBN: 978-0-89555-764-3    13.50


191 Pp. PB. Impr. Why do so many Catholics love the Traditional Latin Mass? This easy-to-read book reveals the What, Why and How of the Traditional Latin Mass—which Pope Benedict XVI has now called the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Catholics of all ages will find that the Mass—and the entire Catholic Faith—has been opened up to them by The Latin Mass Explained. Many will understand for the very first time the awesome dignity of the Catholic Religion and the rich spiritual significance of every element of the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar.

"This book is ideal for priests and lay people who want to learn how to pray the traditional Latin Mass, now called the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite." —Rev. Kenneth Baker, S.J., Editor, Homiletic and Pastoral Review

"Although I had been attending the Traditional Latin Mass for several years, Msgr. Moorman's book made it come alive for me. This book has also been a great help in explaining to Catholics and non-Catholics alike why I love the Traditional ("Tridentine") Mass. Msgr. Moorman's book has also helped me to impart this love to my 10-year-old son, who now serves the Tridentine Mass, and it will hopefully do the same for the other young men whom I will be training to serve." —Michael Pluta, Catholic husband and father

Third Sunday of Advent

On this day the Church urges us to gladness in the middle of this time of expectation and penitence: the coming of Jesus approaches more and more.

St John, the holy precursor, announces to the Jews the coming of the Savior. "The Savior," he says to them, "lives already among us, though unknown. He will soon appear openly."

Now is the time for fervent prayers and for imploring Jesus to remain with us by His mercy. Let us prepare the way for Him by repentance and penitence and by a worthy reception of the Sacraments.

All the prayers for this Mass are filled with the Church's own spirit -- which spirit we should make our own as we celebrate the approach of the Saviour.

St. Francis of Assisi and the Conversion of the Muslims
St. Francis of Assisi and the Conversion of the Muslims

Frank M. Rega    No. 2193    ISBN: 978-0-89555-858-9    12.50

152 Pp. PB. St. Francis of Assisi accompanied the Crusaders to Egypt on the Fifth Crusade, and boldly walked right into the Muslim camp in a spectacular attempt to preach Christianity to the Sultan and his followers. The author shows that St. Francis was a supporter of the armed Crusade, and his goal was the conversion of the Muslims, rather than simply "dialoging" as an end in itself, as some revisionists have purported. He made such an impact with his preaching, that the sultan rebuffed some of his own religious advisors, the imams, who were insisting that Islamic law required that St. Francis must be beheaded.

While the book focuses on this historic encounter, it also includes a comprehensive biography of the Saint, taking the reader through the essential aspects of his life and his life-changing spiritual journey. Read how St. Clare of Assisi left her comfortable aristocratic world to become his follower, how St. Francis originated the Christmas manger, and about the dramatic moment he received the stigmata.

"The most important book on St. Francis in English, in recent years."
—Brother Alexis Bugnolo, Editor, the Franciscan Archive, franciscan- archive.org

"This is a rare and daring approach to the life of St. Francis and one that is so necessary in our world at this time."
—From the Preface by Father Angelus M. Shaughnessy, O.F.M. Capuchin, EWTN TV Spokesman

The Gift of Oneself The Gift of Oneself
The Gift of Oneself. The Gift of Oneself will be for many a fresh, new approach to spirituality - an appeal to generous souls to offer themselves to God as a gift that is at once fitting - since He has given us all we are and have - and complete, for we thereby hold back nothing for ourselves. And in return, Almighty God in a special way concerns Himself with the sanctification of our souls and the care of our temporal needs. Jesus will work wonders in a soul so given over to Him, for He is the best of all spiritual directors, and He knows exactly the place in the Mystical Body that a consecrated soul should occupy. This gift of oneself to God is easy, for all we have to do is love Him. In return for the gift of oneself, God responds by giving Himself. What more could we want or need? Those who read this book derive a great feeling of peace and security from it. The Gift of Oneself will be a surprise and a delight to those generous souls who are ready to embark upon a secure and rewarding spiritual life! Reg. 14.00 — Sale 10.00
