Prayer Books and Pamphlets
" Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Prayer is one of the sublime treasures of the Christian tradition, since it places us directly in contact with our Creator. It brings us into an intimacy with the one who transforms us from the inside and directs our life toward the good and the beautiful. Made up of brief chapters informed and nourished by the long Christian tradition, this book will help you discover the different facets of prayer and all the means that the Church gives us to cultivate it, persevere in it, and make this treasure bear fruit.

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.
Over 2000 years ago, Jesus was killed by being nailed to a wooden cross--and then he rose from the dead. He showed us that love and life are more powerful than sin and death. Way of the Cross for Families guides you and your family through the Stations of the Cross and through reflection, discussion, and prayer.
Author Jim Merhaut has written these Stations of the Cross especially for children 6-12, with examples that children can relate to. The full-color photos show children in action. Children can become closer to Jesus, and you and your family can become closer to each other.

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 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.

Discover the Rosary as a living journey of Grace
The Rosary is a path that leads us in the footsteps of Jesus and Mary. Yet in the midst of daily demands, distractions, and struggles, it can be difficult to walk that path with focus and joy.
In The Way of the Rosary: A Journey with Mary through Scripture, Liturgy, and Life, Catholic mom, writer, and business owner Shannon Wendt invites readers to encounter the Rosary as a devotion so deep it becomes a way of life.
Drawing on Scripture, the wisdom of the Church’s liturgy, and her own personal journey through suffering and renewal, Shannon shows how the mysteries of the Rosary meet us in the ups and downs of everyday life. With compassion and clarity, she helps us see how Mary desires to mother us in our struggles, bringing us closer to the Sacred Heart of her Son.
Inside The Way of the Rosary, readers will find:
- Scripture-rich reflections that connect each mystery of the Rosary to the life of Christ and the experiences of everyday life
- Liturgical insightsthat show how the Rosary flows from the prayer of the Church
- Personal encouragement to help readers walk the path of faith
- A practical guide to making the Rosary a way of living daily life with Jesus and Mary
St. John Paul II called the Rosary a “compendium of the Gospel.” Shannon Wendt helps readers enter into that truth—not only praying about Mary’s life with Jesus, but also praying through their own. As Catholics walk this way of the Rosary, they will discover that Mary meets them where they are, takes them by the hand, and gently leads them to her Son.
