The Saints $13.95 Saints for Sinners by Archbishop Alban Goodier 161 pp. paperback The Most Rev. Alban Goodier (1869-1939) was a Jesuit who served as Archbishop of Bombay, India. He was a respected writer, renowned for his memorable aphorisms. He wrote over a dozen books, including “The Meaning of Life” and “Spiritual Excellence”. “Saints for Sinners” reminds us that God's grace can conquer every human flaw. Christ came not to call saints but to make them often out of weak, stupid, and sinful men. That’s why the saints are not only models of holiness for us to imitate; they’re reminders that God’s grace can outshine every human flaw. As Alban Goodier’s classic Saints for Sinners shows us, even the greatest saints had to battle the same stubborn vices, temptations of the flesh, and bouts of spiritual dryness that afflict you and me today. In these pages, with a style that perfectly blends hagiographical detail, spiritual meditation, and a skilled storyteller’s touch, Archbishop Goodier brings us the stories of nine saints, among whom are St. Augustine, St. Margaret of Cortona and St. Francis Xavier. $13.95 Bedside Book of Saints by Fr. Aloysius Roche 176 pp. paperback Aloysius Roche (b. 1886) was a parish priest in Essex, England, where he was known for his great knowledge of the lives of the saints, his wise sermons, and his simple, holy lifestyle. In these pages, Fr. Roche shows you the saints not so much from a new angle as from a less familiar one. Without diluting the intensity and holiness of the saints, he tries to bring them near, to bring them home, to bring them to your very bedside. Some of the Chapter titles are: “Joy of the Saints”, “Common Sense of the Saints”, ”Wit and Humor of the Saints”, “Friendship of the Saints”, “Peace of the Saints”. (This is one of the Sisters’ favorite books about the Saints!) $3.95 St. Michael the Archangel 60 pp. paperback Including Prayers to St. Michael. From the Old Testament times until today, St. Michael the Archangel has always powerfully defended and assisted God’s people on earth. Based on Scripture, Church history and saintly traditions, this book explains St. Michael’s name, his rank among the angels, his victory over Satan, his role among the Israelites, his role as Guardian Angel of the Catholic Church, as defender of souls, Heavenly Physician, helper in battle, advocate of the dying, consoler of the poor souls in purgatory and guardian of the Blessed Sacrament and the Pope. Also included are the apparition and victory at Monte Gargano, the huge shrine to the Archangel on Mont St. Michel, the vision of Pope Leo XIII and St. Michael’s role to come at the End of Time. Here too is a treasury of prayers, including the famous chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel, the Angelic Crown. This work is a goldmine of traditional facts which will be an eye-opener and an encouragement to all Catholics in our daily spiritual battles!

This powerful Saint is invoked in cases of extreme need, grievous illness, poverty, and when circumstances seem hopeless. Plus, he is a special defender of (and helper in regaining) purity. St. Jude has obtained remedies and comfort for countless people who have turned to him in prayer. This booklet explains his relationship to Our Lord and describes his preaching of the Gospel in Persia. There, along with St. Simon, he performed many miracles, defeated two magicians, converted thousands - including kings - and was martyred.

Sacred Suncatcher of St. Benedict Medal of St. Benedict St. Benedict Crucifixes $18.95 A Modern Martyr - The Life of St. Theophane Venard 186 pp. paperback “I like Theophane Venard even more than Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, because the life of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was extraordinary and Theophane Venard's was quite ordinary...my soul is like his. He is the one who has best lived my way of spiritual childhood.” –St. Therese of the Child Jesus Theophane Venard's example, particularly his way of accepting his martyrdom, was a valuable aid to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, especially his words before martyrdom: “I do not rely on my own strength, but on the strength of Him who defeated the power of hell and of the world through the Cross.” Theophane Venard was a tender and dutiful son, a loving brother, and a devoted friend. Yet all this strong human love did not prevent his sacrificing everything to God, leaving the home he loved so fondly, the sister he idolized, and his strong family ties. He left everything which made life dear when the voice of the Master called him to go forth from his people and his country into a strange and distant land to preach His word and do His work and save the souls for whom He had died upon the Cross. This is the striking characteristic of the life before us: human love, surpassing all ordinary home affections, willingly and joyfully offered up on the altar of Our Lord for the salvation of the heathen who knew Him not. $14.95 Heroes of God - Eleven Courageous Men and Women Who Risked Everything to Spread the Catholic Faith by Henri Daniel-Rops 234 pp. paperback Henri Daniel-Rops (1901-1965) wrote more than seventy books and won worldwide acclaim for his books on the workings of God in history. This book is a collection of true-life stories of Catholic fortitude, valor and holiness. In every age and every country, valiant men and women have rejected the empty pursuit of worldly comforts and devoted their lives to bringing the transforming truth of Jesus Christ to people who do not know Him. Here are the courageous deeds of eleven of these holy heroes, told with exhilarating vigor and immediacy by the master Catholic historian, Henri Daniel-Rops. Some of the “holy heroes” discussed are St. Paul, St. Francis Xavier and Father Damien of Molokai.
