The St. Paul Center Studies in Biblical Theology and Spirituality ...a profound work of biblical theology, drawn from the whole Bible but especially from the teachings of Saint John and Saint Paul, and especially from their interpretation of the Old Testament. Dr. Scott Hahn, in the Foreword In this fourth title in the series of contemporary Catholic classics, William K. McDonough offers a popular explanation of the meaning of the Trinity, the fundamental doctrine of the Catholic faith, and its relation to the body of Christian revelation. He presents a synthesis of the Catholic faith: the triune life of God; the Person of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; creation; the Incarnation; mariology; divine adoption; divine indwelling; prayer, sacraments and sacramentals; love; life with God here and hereafter. McDonough relies on the theology of Saints John and Paul, the teachings of the Fathers of the church, and the spiritual writings of Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity, a contemporary of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. He sees the mystery of the Trinity as a secret the Secret of Secrets beyond all our guessing that, once revealed to us, becomes the pattern for true Christian living. With examples drawn from everyday life and Scripture, McDonough strives to illuminate and make real for us this glorious truth.

To outsiders, the Kuharski family life sometimes looked like controlled chaos. With 13 kids seven by birth, six by airport (adopted) it sometimes felt that way to family members, too. There were those vacations when the entire family jammed into one motel room. There were the excuses: Kari told me she wanted her hair cut that short. Dominic told me the cement was dry. Tony said that Grandma said there wasn't any poison ivy in that area. And, from a child playing with matches in the basement: I didn t know the newspapers would catch fire so quickly and spread to the paint cans. There were the challenges of adopting special needs children and the heartbreak of watching some of those children fail to adapt. Through it all, by the grace of God, much prayer and lots of common sense, the family became an oasis of stability and love. Whether your family is big or small, whether you have young children, old children, grandchildren or no children, Outnumbered! will bring you to a place at a very special family table.

Progress toward God is indicated much more by actual choices than by pious feelings. From Chapter One Anyone can achieve a reasonable level of sanctity, but the saints are in a league of their own. What sets them apart? Does holiness come more naturally to them than to the rest of us? Do they endure severe temptation? How do grievous sinners become saints? How has history been influenced by the saints? Are the saints relevant today? What do they mean for you? In answering these questions and many more, Father Thomas Dubay not only reveals what makes the saints tick, but also nudges readers toward the heights of sanctity themselves. It s an uphill battle for everyone, but the lives of the saints make it clear that great holiness is possible for all if we allow ourselves, as they do, to fall radically in love with God.

Born Rita Rizzo in Canton, Ohio in 1923, Mother Angelica was abandoned by her father and raised in poverty by a mother who suffered suicidal depressions. As a young woman, after Rita developed severe abdominal pain she sought the prayers of a local mystic and her symptoms disappeared. Awakened to the power of prayer, she vowed to dedicate her life to God and became a cloistered nun. She expected to spend her life hidden from the world, but Rita's faith compelled her to unlikely endeavors, from establishing a monastery in Alabama to starting the world's first Catholic cable network. Raymond Arroyo's engrossing biography traces Mother Angelica's tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce opposition she faced, inside and outside of her church.

You re Catholic and loving it but when it comes to really celebrating your faith, things get a little vague. A home altar? Not likely. Sacramentals? Clueless. A blessing for beer? Never heard of it.

The time has come for a new generation to reclaim their Catholic heritage, including these and many other practices and prayers that have enriched Catholic life for centuries. Many traditional devotions have been neglected in recent decades, but authors Narendran and Salzmann have gathered together a rich variety in this book to help you celebrate Christ through all the days, weeks and months of the year.

Scott Hahn's personal introduction to the biblical theology and spirituality of Opus Dei. Opus Dei is an intriguing and oft-misunderstood organization. To its members, however, Opus Dei is a spiritual path, a way of integrating Jesus' teaching into their everyday lives. In this book, Scott Hahn, a member of Opus Dei, describes the organization's founding and mission and as well as its profound influence on his life. Hahn recounts the significant role Opus Dei played in his conversion from evangelical Christianity to Catholicism and explains why its teachings remain at the center of his life. Hahn relates personal stories to show how Opus Dei's spirituality enriches the meaning of daily work and transforms ordinary relationships. He offers insights for reconciling spiritual and material goals, discussing such topics as ambition, workaholism, friendship, sex and the place of prayer and sacrifice in living a Christian life. Engaging and enlightening, Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace is both a moving personal story and an inspiring work of contemporary spirituality. Unabridged. Includes both appendices—an article about St. Josemaría and Scripture written by Hahn and some of St. Josemaría's prayers.
