The book for all Christians who wish to delve deeper into the secret of Mary as revealed by Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort In True Devotion to Mary, Saint Louis provides meditations and excercises which can bring you a life lived more closely in conformance with the teachings of Jesus Christ, through the emulation of the perfect virtues and example of his mother, Mary. In explaining the wonderful spiritual benefits which True Devotion to Jesus through Mary can bring about in a person s life, St. Louis makes it clear that this little-known devotion provides the hidden key to both sanctity and salvation in our times. When a book continues to be a best-seller two hundred and fifty years after the author's death, we may safely say that it is a classic in its own field. Such is Saint Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary. Translated into more than thirty languages, with editions running into the several hundreds, this book of high authority and unction, as Pope Benedict XV described it, has found its way into the hearts and lives of countless Christians since its providential discovery in 1842 including Pope John Paul II, who said that reading this book was to be a turning point in my life... it is an integral part of my interior life and of my spiritual theology. Written in French (probably about the year 1712), the book was first translated into English in 1862, by the scholarly poet and spiritual writer, Father Frederick William Faber. Over a century has now elapsed since that first English version, and in recent years there has been a growing demand on the part of many followers of St. Louis de Montfort that a broader translation be made one that would take into account our contemporary modes of expression. Hence, this new adaptation by popular contemporary writer Eddie Doherty (once billed as America s Star Reporter. ) May it contribute to a better understanding of Vatican II's beautiful exposition of Mary as model of the Church and mother of us all. Included in this new edition is a beautiful testimonial to the power of True Devotion the story of how Eddie and Catherine Doherty, the founders of the Madonna House Apostolate, first made their consecration to Jesus through Mary, and how the consecration changed their lives and the life of their apostolate.

True Devotion to Mary

St. Louis De Montfort

Worship & Devotion

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!

Dear Father: A Message of Love to Priests

Catherine De Hueck Doherty

Prayerful devotional meditations on The Way of the Cross.The Way of the Cross at Jerusalem, known as the Via Dolorosa or Via Crucis, marks Jesus path to his crucifixion. It has been the destination of pilgrims since the early days of the Church, and saints throughout the ages confirm that meditating on the Passion of the Christ is most fruitful. Fourteen significant moments along the way are marked by a "station," and meditating upon the stations enables you to make a pilgrimage to the moment of Jesus' Passion. Erecting stations in other places made the fulfillment of this devotion possible for those who could not travel to the Holy Land.One such Way of the Cross is located just outside Catherine Doherty's poustinia--her cabin, her desert. From the earliest days of her apostolic life, Catherine daily made this pilgrimage with Jesus Christ and his mother, walking with them, suffering with them, taking up the cross on the way to crucifixion and resurrection. Catherine's diaries, writings, and life brim with meditations, lessons, and insights gained from her spiritual pilgrimages to Golgotha.We offer to you some of these personal meditations from Catherine's heart during her pilgrimage along the Way, to guide you through your own pilgrimage to crucifixion and resurrection. This devotion begins with some of Catherine s meditations that you can pray to prepare your heart and focus your mind before you make your Way, or to deepen your resolve after making your Way. Each station includes Scripture reflections, a meditation and prayer from Catherine, and common public prayers--accompanied by the wood carvings of the Stations that appear in the Madonna House chapel in Combermere. (We have also included an English translation of the Stabat Mater; its verses can be sung between the stations.)"When it received the Lord of Life lifeless, dead, the tomb became a manger again, the birthplace of life. Its silence sang a requiem of alleluias. Its coldness became all flame and fire of joy--joy beyond desire. Jesus slept within the cradle of its depths the sleep of the One who conquered death. Alone the tomb became witness to the mystery of victory." -- from Station XIV

The Stations of the Cross: In the Footsteps of The Passion

Catherine Doherty

The earth is weeping... how can we heal it? The heavy treads of our modern machinery pound the earth into submission our society has become expert at efficiently taking from the earth, but what do we give the earth in return? Is this the proper stewardship of the earth that God has entrusted us with? Concerns are growing about genetically engineered superfood and pesticide use. Animals are being cloned for use as organ donors, and human cloning may be just around the corner. The panic over Mad Cow Disease is a chilling example of the real price which we may all pay for cows being fed cheaply instead of nutritiously. In this remarkably prophetic work, Catherine Doherty helps shed some light on these important issues, with practical, down-to-earth guidance for farmers everywhere whether you are a backyard gardener or industry professional. Drawing on experience of her father's extensive farm in twentieth century Russia, Catherine Doherty pleads for integrity in making the earth fecund with healthy foods. Written from the perspective of a small farm named "St. Benedict Acres" developed by and for Madonna House (the community founded by the author), this book urges farmers to integrate Christianity into their farming, into the care of their portion of the Lord's vineyard.
