Father Ervens Dario Mengelle

In this book Father Miguel Angel Fuentes (IVE) illustrates how the universities are environments severely challenging the intellect and will of young people. As students pursue their fields of study, many of their convictions on truth, reality and faith are disputed. Oftentimes, many young people lose their faith and are swept away by false truths during this crucial moment in their lives. The pages of this book are an introduction to the greatest problems of life: God, the soul, science, religion, and truth. With them, Father Fuentes makes the comparison of the search for truth to the search for Heaven: it is only given to them who fight for it. For more info see ivepress.org

Pasajes Espirituales (Spanish Edition)

Benedict J. Groeschel

Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being... The virtue of chastity therefore involves the integrity of the person and the integrality of the gift... Chastity includes an apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom. The alternative is clear: either man governs his passions and finds peace, or he lets himself be dominated by them and becomes unhappy...Chastity is a moral virtue. It is also a gift from God, a grace, a fruit of spiritual effort... Under [charity s] influence, chastity appears as a school of the gift of the person. Self-mastery is ordered to the gift of self. Chastity leads him who practices it to become a witness to his neighbor of God s fidelity and loving kindness (excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2337-2346). In La Castidad posible?, Father Miguel Angel Fuentes, IVE details what chastity is and what it is not; what the attacks are against the virtue of chastity and how to fight against them through self-discipline and prayer; and an explanation of the psychological principles ordered to the practice of this great virtue which is under an ever-greater attack in our contemporary society. With this resource, youth will be able to better understand themselves and value the protection of their purity of body and soul, and parents and educators will be better equipped in forming virtuous Christians among a lustful and selfish world.

La Castidad posible? (Spanish Edition)

Children and Parents

In the fourth commandment of God which is: "Honor thy father and thy mother," is the link between the first three, which relate to our duties to God, and the last six, which relate to our duties as neighbors. From this commandment follows this truth: Parents who honor God always find it easy to train the children to honor them, the parents; children who honor parents always find it easy to honor the Heavenly Father. ~Fulton Sheen Children and Parents shines light on the greatest moral crisis of our times: the breakdown of the family. With his characteristic humor, candor and zeal for the faith, Archbishop Sheen diagnoses the problem in our culture and how they manifest in families and in relationships with young people, and provides practial insight for navigating the seemingly overwhelming task of raising and develping morally and spiritually mature youth. Writing ahead of his time, he offers advice to the modern family on topics such from discipline and obedience to chastity, sex and love, with a special emphasis on teenagers and their quest for identity. Sheen masterfully reveals the challenging reality praents face in raising children and encourages them to learn from Christ and to be "shepherds who lead their sheep...showing them the way." ivepress.org

FULTON J. SHEEN

He was called the man of his age, the voice of his century. His influence towered above that of his contemporaries, and his sanctity moved God himself. Men flocked to him--some in wonder, others in curiosity, but all drawn by the magnetism of his spiritual gianthood. Bernard of Clairvaux--who or what fashioned him to be suitable for his role of counseling Popes, healing schisms, battling errors and filling the world with holy religious and profound spiritual doctrine? Undoubtedly, Bernard is the product of God's grace. But it is hard to say whether this grace is more evident in Bernard himself or in the extraordinary family in which God choose to situate this dynamic personality. This book is the fascinating account of a family that took seriously the challenge to follow Christ... and to overtake Him. With warmth and realism, Venerable Tescelin, Blesseds Alice, Guy, Gerard, Humbeline, Andrew, Bartholomew, Nivard and St. Bernard step off these pages with the engaging naturalness that atttacks imitation. Here is a book that makes centuries disappear, as each member of this unique family becomes an inspiration in our own quest of overtaking Christ. For more info see ivepress.org

The Family that Overtook Christ

M. Raymond

Priest and founder of the Marist Brothers, Saint Marcellin Champagnat (1789-1840) dedicated himself to the instruction of children and youth during the harsh aftermath of the French Revolution. He renewed the classroom setting and formed thousands of Christian teachers both from among his own religious brothers and the many who would later follow his method of education. This collection of the works of Father Champagnat offers a rare combination: mature theological instruction integrated into a practical how-to manual of holiness full of concrete examples. Champagnat brings the wisdom of the cloister into the classroom. To prepare holy and effective religious, he develops the essential link between authentic personal holiness and subsequent effectiveness in our work, ministries, and households all without watering down the demands of the Gospel.  Anyone working with youth today will find his advice relevant and piercing as he zealously promotes a sanctity that is contagious. Father Champagnat s teaching leaves no stone unturned, touching on everything from community life, effective leadership and obedience, mental and vocal prayer, fasting and other disciplines, how to work with young people, and most of all, how to keep a burning love for Jesus Christ and His Passion as the fount and foundation of all religious life.
