A short, famous classic on "true devotion to Mary"--an excellent, easy means of attaining holiness and salvation, a way followed by Popes and Saints, but also perfect for lay people. It is at least every bit as good as his True Devotion to Mary! Small but powerful--seems almost divinely inspired!

A revealing look at the motivations behind this amazing woman -- as seen through the eyes of her husband, journalist Eddie Doherty. This is Catherine de Hueck Doherty's adventure-packed life story--the story of "God's own tumbleweed, blowing through the world, wherever the breath of the Holy Spirit may send her." Eddie Doherty vividly portrays Catherine's early life in Russia, her harrowing escape to freedom during the Revolution, her life as a refugee in North America, and finally her call to live the gospel in the lay apostolate and her founding of Friendship House, precursor to Madonna House.

Deeply felt, mesmerizing, and powerful, this cinematic book will change forever how you regard the mysteries of suffering and grace. In Splendor of Sorrow, Eddie Doherty styles himself the "Blindman," who realizes that without help he cannot understand the significance of important happenings in our Christian heritage. He calls upon his friends, the saints, to lead him back through time, and help him to "see." Eddie brings saints and angels from throughout history into the story, relying on their insight to illuminate the mysteries taking place before them. With St. Francis, St. Martin, St. Michael, St. Therese, St. Anthony--and a host of angels and saints--the author collapses time and space to make us witnesses of key events in the life of Our Lord and Our Lady, which Catholic tradition refers to as the "seven sorrows" of Mary. We "see" each sorrow and joy through the eyes of the Blindman. Through a life of spectacular adventure and searing tragedy, Eddie Doherty came to see in the Seven Sorrows of the Mother of God how God's light shines even in the sufferings of this world. In these pages, he takes you into those Sorrows, showing you how to find the mystery of divine joy within.

Getting to Know God

Eddie Doherty

Bazzett, Mary

"On a pitiful dry day, in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in the year 1884, a seedy young workman with a hang-over decided to quit drinking...There was nothing remarkable about Matt not then. And there was nothing remarkable in his taking the pledge. Nothing is easier to take nor harder to keep. But, one thing leading to another, a sinner can call on a priest, and a sot can become a saint. It was only after Matt quit drinking that he became remarkable in any way. It was only after his death that he became, not only remarkable and famous all over the world, but even an object of veneration. Some day, in your parish church, you may see a strange statue maybe standing near that of the Little Flower or St. Anthony or even St. Patrick himself. And then again maybe you won t. The Church hasn t canonized Matt yet, and may never do so. But it permits him to be called the holy servant of God ; and that is tantamount to calling him the Venerable Matt Talbot." Excerpt from the beginning of Matt Talbot Though Matt Talbot s life is an encouraging success story particularly for addicts, his meaning in the modern world extends far beyond being the patron of recovering alcoholics. There is something in his story for everyone worker, sinner, Christian, skeptic, apostle a glimmer of greatness, humility, and charity that cannot fail to inspire and amaze.
