From Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, author of the popular book Consoling the Heart of Jesus, comes an extraordinary 33-day journey to Marian consecration with four giants of Marian spirituality: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Bl. Pope John Paul II. Fr. Michael masterfully summarizes their teaching, making it easy to grasp and simple enough to put into practice. More specifically, he weaves their thought into a user friendly, do-it-yourself retreat that will bless even the busiest of people. So, if you've been thinking about entrusting yourself to Mary for the first time or if you're simply looking to deepen and renew your devotion to her, 33 Days to Morning Glory is the right book to read and the perfect retreat to make.

The breadth and depth of these Eucharistic prayers offer Catholics a richer prayer experience than most Eucharistic prayer books available today.

Eucharistic adoration prayer books are frequently narrow in scope and modern in style. By contrast, A Prayer Book for Eucharistic Adoration spans nearly 2,000 years of Eucharistic prayer tradition. Throughout the book, author and historian of the liturgy William G. Storey has carefully translated many ancient prayer sources, which heretofore have been unavailable to lay Catholics.
Solidly rooted in Scripture, this book includes an extensive collection of Eucharistic adoration prayers, such as prayers at Mass, Marian prayers, prayers of the saints, novenas, litanies, and more. The leatherette cover provides a classic look and resistance to wear and tear.

Whether you've just begun to pray or have been faithfully praying for years, the wisdom in this book will help you pray better. Fr. Lawrence Lovasik here shows you innumerable ways you can avoid common obstacles and deepen your prayer life, no matter how much or how little you may have prayed before.

Whether your grandchildren live with you, just around the corner, or a thousand miles away, praying for them every day is one of the most important ways you can show your love and concern. And when you are searching for the right words, Bless My Grandchild is the prayer book you need. This follow-up to Julie Cragon's bestseller, Bless My Child, combines original and traditional prayers and devotions that will help you place the joys and worries you experience as a grandparent in the hands of God.

"Grandparents are the living memory of the family," Pope Francis noted. "They pass on the faith; they transmitted the faith to us."

In Bless My Grandchild, bestselling Catholic author Julie Cragon combines thoughtful scripture quotes and wisdom from saints along with prayers appropriate for every milestone and circumstance of a grandchild's life, from conception through adulthood, including special circumstances and contemporary needs. There are prayers for:

the first day of school,

adoption,

learning to read,

courage,

sacramental milestones, and

illness or death of a friend, family member, or pet.

The book concludes with traditional prayers and novenas that you can teach a grandchild or offer on their family's behalf, including the novena to St. Jude, "Stations of the Cross for My Grandchild," the Angelus, and "Consecration of the Family."

As Bishop Alan Clark writes in the Preface, "Many authors have written about the Beatitudes, but none with Mother Mary Francis' own singular wisdom and spiritual insights. Her words inspire us to take a deeper look at our own living of the Beatitudes and encourage us to take our efforts to more profound level. Her delightful humor shines through each page, giving the reader a share in her own Poor Clare joyousness and lightness of heart in the faithful following of the Gospel."

The Forge is the third collection of St. Josemaría’s refreshingly brief but profoundly weighty reflections and meditations on how to live the Christian life to its absolute fullest.

Like The Way and Furrow, it gives you practical and pointed material for meditation that will help you take your spiritual responsibilities more seriously and move ever closer to the all-consuming forge of God’s love.

St. Josemaría wrote these 1,055 aphorisms, observations, and exhortations in order to enkindle within you a desire for holiness and apostolate.

Like The Way, Furrow is the fruit of St. Josemaría's rich interior life and extensive experience as a pastor.

These 1000 points for spiritual reflection are directed toward the whole human person: body and soul, nature and grace. With the skillful hand of an experienced and holy priest, St. Josemaría interweaves the divine and human and helps you see how to bring them into harmony in your own life.

In Holy Habits from the Sacred Heart, Emily Jaminet--executive director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network--identifies ten habits and virtues that come from the Sacred Heart.
