Praying the Rosary Like Never Before - Encounter the Wonder of heaven and Earth

Praying the Rosary Like Never Before - Encounter the Wonder of heaven and Earth

$18.99
More Info

Do you struggle with praying the rosary? Do you have trouble finding time, fighting distractions, or feeling like you're just going through the motions to get it done? For some, the rosary can seem overwhelming or almost a chore, when in fact it is meant to be a simple prayer--a prayer that has been available for Christians for hundreds of years. This compelling book by Edward Sri offers practical suggestions that come from the rosary's tradition to experience Jesus and Mary more in your prayer and easily incorporate it into your life. It will allow the rosary to become a perpetual companion through the seasons, important moments, and challenges we will inevitably face. These prompts will not only help those who need help with incorporating the rosary into their everyday life but also to those who are deeply attached to get their relationship deeper with the Lord.

"Offering God, a decade or two in the midst of my daily life gives him something beautiful, even if I give it without my full, relaxed, undivided attention," says Sri. "I'm giving God some space in my day and filling it with words of praise for him."

In this book, Sri takes what he did in The New Rosary in Scripture to a new level. As Catholics, we often have questions about prayer and don't know how to go about getting answers. Praying the Rosary Like Never Before: Encounter the Wonder of Heaven and Earth helps to answer those questions. Some of the common questions are: What is the significance of the Hail Mary? Does the attention given to Mary distract us from focusing on God? What is the meaning of all the repetition in prayer? Where exactly did the rosary came from? What should we think about for each of the mysteries, and whether one should focus on the prayers or the mysteries? You will also find biblical reflections on the twenty mysteries of the rosary that provide practical insights to help you not only understand the twenty mysteries but also live them in your daily life. You will learn how the rosary is Christ-centered and receive group study questions for each chapter. It only takes a couple minutes each day to strengthen your relationship with God--that is the beauty of the rosary.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO PRAY DURING

times of suffering. Words simply may not come. You may feel angry or confused, and that can make it tough to turn to God. Well-meaning friends or family may offer suggestions like "Just be patient" or "Offer it up," which only leave you feeling worse.

In Praying through Pain, award-winning author and spiritual director Barbara Lee offers a simple and practical way of communicating with God in difficult times, including

  • Relevant and relatable Scripture stories of pain
  • Principles of Ignatian spirituality and how to use them effectively
  • Mini-prayers, words, and phrases that you can use when everything else is too difficult
  • Read this book any way that suits your personal journey. Dip into a chapter that speaks to the emotions you're feeling today. Sit with a passage of Scripture until it sinks deep inside your heart. Talk to God about what you're feeling. Then listen for the voice of God.

    And know that you are not alone.

It is a holy skill that fills us with grace and draws us ever closer to our Lord. Here is the classic that will show you how you, too, can develop a deep and meaningful prayer life that is necessary to attain the joys of Heaven.

    You will learn valuable insights on methods of mental prayer and the eight crucial aspects of this important practice.

Edward Leen lays out the progression from the beginning to advanced stages of grace, he also reveals:

    Real Presence

    Real Presence

    $14.95
    More Info

    Winner of a first-place award for popular presentation of the faith and second-place in pastoral ministry, catechetical resource from the Catholic Media Association.

    Many Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. Rather, they see the bread and wine of Holy Communion as mere symbols of Christ's body and blood. Is that disbelief just a misunderstanding or is it a blatant rejection of one of the central beliefs of the faith?

    In Real Presence, University of Notre Dame theologian Timothy P. O'Malley clears up the confusion and shows you how to learn to love God and neighbor through a deeper understanding of the doctrine of real presence.

    A 2019 study by the Pew Research Center found that almost seventy percent of Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist.

    O'Malley offers a concise introduction to Catholic teaching on real presence and transubstantiation through a biblical, theological, and spiritual account of these doctrines from the early Church to today. He also explores how real presence enables us to see the vulnerability of human life and the dignity of all flesh and blood.

    O'Malley leads you to a deeper understanding and renewed faith in Catholic teaching about transubstantiation and real presence by helping you learn

  • how the doctrine of real presence is rooted in divine revelation and how the Church's teaching regarding transubstantiation is spiritually fruitful for the believer today;
  • how to make your own the doctrine of real presence by worshipping Christ in the Eucharist and therefore making a real assent to real presence;
  • how the Eucharist, although not the exclusive presence of Christ in the Church's liturgy and mission, is crucial in growing our capacity for recognizing those other presences; and
  • the important relationship between Eucharistic communion and adoration.

    Rosary: Your Weapon for Spiritual Warfare

    More Info
    The rosary is much more than an optional Catholic devotion for the old and dying. In fact, it is a vibrant and powerful intercessory tool in the hands of valiant spiritual warriors. From the moment Our Lady entrusted it to St. Dominic early in the thirteenth century, the rosary has been at the heart of authentic Catholic devotion. And yet it has also been an indispensable weapon in the hands of intercessors and those who actively resist the workings of the devil.

    In The Rosary, Johnnette Benkovic, founder and president of Living His Life Abundantly and the founder of Women of Grace, teams up with Thomas K. Sullivan, the creator of the Warrior Rosary, to explore why the rosary is the weapon for such a time as this. Together, they've gathered some of the most astonishing historical and contemporary accounts of victories associated with the rosary, along with their own inspiring personal experiences.

    Readers will discover insights that will enhance their own experience of the rosary, including special prayers based on the lives and writings of the saints who understood the power of this classic Catholic devotion.

    Sacred Heart Gems

    Sacred Heart Gems

    $16.95
    More Info

    The Marian Fathers and, more importantly, the magisterium of the Catholic Church teach that there is no contradiction or competition between the message of the Sacred Heart as revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the Divine Mercy message and devotion as revealed to St. Faustina Kowalska. Devout Catholics know this. After all, it's the same Jesus who revealed His Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and, centuries later, revealed the Divine Mercy message and devotion to St. Faustina Kowalska. While each respective message has a distinct emphasis -- for example, the message of the Sacred Heart focuses on reparation while the Divine Mercy Message and Devotion focuses on living a spirituality of trust in God's unfathomable mercy -- each message comes from the same source, the Divine Person of Jesus Christ. There are lots and lots of other saints, blesseds, venerables, servants of God, and popes who loved the Sacred Heart and wrote about it. Each of the 366 days contains an invocation from the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    Do you yearn for the peace, protection, and joy of a Christ-centered home? The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the answer.

    Bestselling and award-winning author Emily Jaminet takes up each of the twelve promises Christ made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in a series of visions, puts a fresh new spin on the classic Catholic devotion, and invites you and your family to experience the profound spiritual benefits you will receive when you keep the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the center of your home.

    Appearing to her in a series of visions in 1673, Jesus promised St. Margaret Mary Alacoque that those who "expose and honor his most Sacred Heart" will find peace in the home, consolation in sorrow, and a source of refuge in times of trouble. In Secrets of the Sacred Heart, Emily Jaminet--executive director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network--weaves personal testimony, teachings, and reflection questions while exploring and applying each of Christ's promises. Jaminet will guide you through a special enthronement ceremony to dedicate your home and inspire you to a lifelong devotion to the Sacred Heart.

    Whether you have already consecrated your home or are newly embarking on the journey of discovering the graces of this ancient practice, you will find a personal encounter with Jesus, who promises:

  • peace in your home,
  • safe refuge in life and death,
  • blessings on your undertakings,
  • an infinite source of mercy, and
  • a restored and enlivened faith for those who surrender themselves wholly to Christ.

    Stages in Prayer

    Stages in Prayer

    $14.95
    More Info

    Here's the spiritual classic that will elevate your prayer life from the "ordinary" to the "supernatural" by exploring and guiding you through the five fundamental stages of prayer.

    Contrary to popular belief, true progress in your prayer life is not solely a function of adherence to a fixed set of rules. Rather, it is governed almost entirely by the emerging fruits of your prayer as the Holy Spirit leads you to live a life ever more pleasing to God. Thus, progress in prayer is more of an art than a science. Few Christians become mystics not because few are called but because few figure out how to navigate the stages of prayer and leverage the fruits to achieve union with God.

    Fr. Arintero will show you how to progress from simple vocal prayer to the depths of spiritual meditation. You'll learn how to "travel by foot" when those inevitable moments of dryness in prayer surface, and you'll learn how to maximize progress in times of deep consolation.

    With the writings of Sts. Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Francis de Sales, and Thomas Aquinas as his touch points, Fr. Arintero explains what is happening to the soul as it begins to enter into union with our Lord, including such manifestations as locutions and intellectual visions. Additionally, you will learn what to expect at each stage of contemplation, as well as the corresponding gifts many receive, such as ecstasies and raptures. Through the wisdom of the mystics, Fr. Arintero unpacks these mysteries and shares insights about:

  • The importance of making specific resolutions to grow in virtue
  • How God pours out the gift of wisdom on souls through prayer
  • Why attachment to specific methods of prayer can hinder God's movement
  • What distractions in prayer may indicate and how to approach them
  • How to prepare yourself for prayer of quiet and infused recollection

    Way of the Cross

    Way of the Cross

    $12.95
    More Info

    For centuries, the Church has encouraged us to pray the Stations of the Cross as a way to draw closer to Christ and gain the strength to carry our own crosses by meditating on His Passion. Yet even while doing so, many of us have had trouble imagining and contextualizing the sorrowful events of that day and even the horrid details of the Crucifixion.

    In these prayerful pages, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, longtime secretary to Pope Benedict XVI, remedies that failure of our imaginations. Here he vividly depicts Jesus' final, slow, sorrowful passage through the narrow, dusty streets of Jerusalem, out the gate in the city's wall, and unto Golgotha, where our Lord is crucified.

    With the help of these powerful meditations, you'll come to feel as if you've been transported all the way back to Jerusalem, to that grim day in A.D. 33, and stand there now, a direct witness to it.

    Archbishop Gänswein's stunning reflections on the Stations of the Cross will give life to your own Stations of the Cross devotions and awaken in you a love and sympathy for our Lord greater than any you have felt before.

    Way of the Cross For Loved ones who have left the faith

    When a loved one leaves the Catholic Faith, it can be devastating. Often, we feel helpless, unable to do anything to bring them back. Yet there is something we can do.

    The best way to bring our loved ones back to the Faith is through prayer. In addition to invitations and conversations, we can't forget the power we have to pray for them. What better way to do that than by joining our fears and sufferings with those of Jesus in the Stations of the Cross?

    In this Way of the Cross for Loved Ones Who Have Left the Faith, the fourteen Stations have two emphases: intercession for loved ones and guidance for those still practicing the Faith. While contemplating our Savior's sacrificial love, readers of this devotional can intercede for friends and family as they spiritually carry the cross with Jesus, asking him to lead our loved ones back to fellowship with God and his Church.

    The Lord Jesus gives us hope. More than anyone else, he suffered from the indifference of those who did not believe, those who ignored or mocked his offer of salvation. If we will allow it, Jesus can teach us to respond, as he did, with compassion and love.

    Recall, reflect, remember, and pray.

    Recall loved ones who have died and, in a spirit of true charity, keep in mind other departed souls who may have no one on earth to pray for them.

    Reflect on the reality of purgatory and those who, though so close to heaven, must still prepare to enter it. These souls, the Church teaches, can benefit from your prayers for them and whose prayers, in return, can benefit you.

    Remember, Station by Station, the Passion and death that Christ endured for those souls, for all souls, for your soul.

    Pray that the same Christ, the One who conquered death, may soon welcome into the Eternal Banquet the souls of your loved ones, and the souls of all the faithful departed.

    With its one-of-a-kind combination of the traditional prayers of the Stations of the Cross and scriptural reflections focusing on Christ's passion and death, The Way of the Cross for the Holy Souls in Purgatory was an immediate best-seller when first published in 2000. The revised edition is expanded and features beautiful, four-color mosaics from Marytown, home of the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

    The Christian's life in this world is a journey in search of the love of Christ. St. Josemaría's book is an open invitation to set out on that journey, and its final stage speaks to us of the love that comes, as a result of seeking and finding Christ, as the fulfillment of that arduous journey, a love that, in fact, was there all along, seeking us out.--Bishop Javier Echevarría, from theintroduction

    Reflecting Saint Josemaría Escrivá's conviction that God can be found in the everyday, The Way blends passages from sacred Scripture with anecdotes drawn from Escrivá's life and work, snatches of conversation, and selections from his personal letters. These short, poignant meditations, totaling 999 "points," together form a guide to a better life and "a more worthy soul." The Way beautifully conveys Escrivá's belief that the human is not foreign to the divine, and that the fully Christian spiritual attitude can be described as unity of life.

    Without a doubt, one of the most familiar and beloved prayers within the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church is the Rosary. But do Catholics today have a clear comprehension of the benefits of this centuries-old devotion?

    Using the eloquent and inspiring writings of holy men and women who share a love of, and commitment to, the Marian prayer, Editor Gretchen R. Crowe makes a compelling case for why praying the Rosary is more critical in today's 21st-century world than ever before.

    Why the Rosary, Why Now? is an accessible and inspiring compilation of texts woven together with personal anecdotes that outline eight persuasive reasons why the Rosary should be an essential part of every Catholic's life.

    We need the Rosary ...

  • to break through the noise... with Cardinal Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I)
  • for a deeper devotion to the Church... with Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
  • to strengthen families... with Father Patrick Peyton, the "Rosary priest"
  • for an increase in Christian discipleship... with Pope St. John Paul II
  • for peace in the world... with Father Hubert F. Schiffer, S.J.
  • as a weapon against evil... with Venerable Pope Pius XII
  • to combat secularism... with Pope Leo XIII
  • to become saints... with Pope St. John XXIII, St. Teresa of Calcutta, Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman, and many moreWhy the Rosary, Why Now? is not a typical "how-to book" about the Rosary. This is the "why-to book" that will inspire you to reach for your Rosary more often, and in doing so to receive the gifts it offers to each of us and the world.
