In one volume: 47 profound, uplifting sermons by one of the most gifted preachers of our timeCatholics who have been blessed to hear the late Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro preach in person know him to be almost beyond compare as a homilist. Few priests can plumb the depths of Scripture and Catholic doctrine as he does; fewer still have such power to touch the heart. Now, Roman Catholic Books has assembled 47 of Msgr. Barreiro's finest sermons - each of permanent value - into a single volume that's all but guaranteed to deepen your spiritual life and inspire you to become a better Catholic.Linked to the major liturgical feasts and seasons, the sermons collected here range from profound spiritual reflections to penetrating social commentary to vigorous defenses of the traditional doctrines, disciplines and liturgy of the Church. Some key topics and themes: The modern fallacy that Christ's infinite mercy somehow excuses disobedience to His unchanging moral commands The perennial temptation to change the Gospel message to make it more acceptable--and the inevitable consequences True conversion to Christ: not an isolated moment, as in Protestantism, but the living out of a spiritual habit The two chief reasons Our Lord asks us to carry crosses Faith without charity: not only a dead faith, but in some ways the faith of the demons themselves How the truth and beauty of the traditional Mass can touch hearts and minds, and draw non-Catholics into the Church The importance of public proclamations of our faith, such as Eucharistic processions The fascinating history of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. How it perfectly accords with reason How--and how not--to defend the Faith against its enemies (including those inside the Church)

Vatican II mandated that the Church's treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and cultivated with great care -in particular, Gregorian chant and Latin were to retain pride of place.  That's the last most Catholic heard of either. But a half-century before Vatican II, the great priest-liturgist Adrian Fortescue was doing for his own parishioners what the Church would later demand.  How?  By compiling the greatest Latin hymns of the ages-with his own exquisite translations-into one volume, for singing and meditation. This new facsimile edition reproduces the 1913 edition-as set by Stanley Morison, the finest typographer of his time.  It also includes Fr. Fortescue's original Preface and a new Afterword by Michael Davies. Please note that this book contains the words only - no musical notation.

Professor Feldmann, to whom the writer is obhged for many valuable suggestions, states in his Okkulte Philosophie that a second-hand bookseller in Munich sent him a catalogue of books on occult sciences consisting of four volumes, each of which contained between 600 and 800 titles. A number of firms are engaged in the printing and distribution of publications on the occult both at home and abroad. The causes of this general widespread interest reside first of all in the great hunger for the preternatural which the various philosophical systems are unable to assuage, however high-sounding their names; this epidemic, however, is also a violent reaction against the materialism which holds matter to be the sole reality and the mother of all Uving things ,which assumes no difference between spirit and matter, and refers to man simply as a digestive tract open at both ends .T he rehgion of Christ satisfies this hunger; but many have forsaken God, the fountain of living water, and have built unto themselves cisterns that hold no water (J er. 2. 13). They have no knowledge of the means of salvation, and, although they consider themselves educated, are ignorant of Christian doctrine. They stand in particular fear of the CathoH cC hurch because of her moral code, live Hke heathens and are ready to accept any superstition that in some slight way promises to lead them beyond the material. Others seek the occult because of the childish curiosity which the unusual inspires, or because of the astonishing cures which, as they believe, could not be explained if there were not an element of truth inS (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Holy Thursday: The Night that Changed the World

On the night before His death, His betrayer already at work, our Lord lifted a simple chalice in a world covered in darkness. Elevating it, He sealed for eternity a new covenant between God and man, imparting to us the gift of His Body and Blood.
In these sublime meditations on the events of Holy Thursday, Nobel laureate François Mauriac reminds us of the ineffable value of the gift given us that evening in the Upper Room: the Eucharist, present still in the tabernacles of the world...where Christ waits patiently for us to visit Him, pray with Him, and receive fullness of life from Him.
To read these stirring pages is to rejoice again in the fact that Christ has not left us orphans. He remains with us at all times in the Eucharist, without which we can never attain true peace. As Mauriac notes, No man knows himself, if he has not looked at his soul in the light of the Host lifted above the ciborium. 
Come, then, into the heart of this mystery of our Faith. Take your seat at the table beside our Lord. Learn why millions of souls believe that Christ is physically present in their local church, and discover the joy they experience when they meet Him there. You, too, can have the strength, the hope, and the consolation Christ gives to all who place themselves beside Him.

François Mauriac
