Father Karl Stehlin Who Are You O Immaculata?
Loreto Publications 2007-01-01 1930278632 Paperback New Paperback
New; Loreto Publications; Fitzwilliam, NH; 2007; Softcover; -2; -2New; 12mo 7" - 7�" tall; Brand new book from the publisher. Ships next day. Actual ISBN is 1930278632. The first time that God communicates his own name to us in Holy Scripture he says, "I AM WH AM". When Our Lady spoke to little Saint Bernadette at Lourdes she told her "I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION". Oh the depths of mystery and of beauty that lies in those twin utterances! Discussion of both of these haunting phrases is tightly woven into this seamless and well ordered explanation of the created universe and God's plan for the world. Father Stehlin quotes extensively from Saint John Eudes, Cornelius a Lapide, Blessed Elizabeth of Trinity, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and Lucia of Fatima. This treatis is one of the most succinct and clear explanations of the complete economy of salvation ever penned. The full role of the Immaculata is explored and refined, and its relevance to the world in our time is detailed in an easy to read and understand format. This is militant Catholic theology made simple for this Marian age.

Tan Books & Publishers 1995 0895555301 Paperback New Paperback
New; Father Butler's famous LIVES OF THE SAINTS ranks only after the Bible, the Missal and The Imitation of Christ as the all-time most popular and authoritative Catholic book.

This book contains no editing, but additional saints have been added, who have lived since Fr. Butler's time- these include St. Therese the Little Flower, Pope St. Pius X, St. Catherine Laboure and others. Yet the book is still based on the traditional Catholic calendar as of 1955. Giving approximately one page per Saint, plus a brief Reflection based on the virtues of the Saint of the day. This book rills a real need and is being published after numerous requests. It exemplifies many holy lessons that the Saints have to teach present generations of Catholics, showing the fruits of the Catholic Faith as borne out in the lives of its greatest adherents.

Fr. John Laux Catholic Morality A Course in Religion Book 3 Fr. John Laux
T A N Books & Publishers 1994-12 0895553937 Paperback New Paperback
New; Catholic Morality. Sin, Virtue, Conscience, Duties to God, Neighbor, Etc. A Course in Religion For Catholic High Schools and Academies Book 3. Every Catholic needs a good grounding in the principles of Catholic morality. And the Catholic Church has always enunciated a clear, traditional set of moral principles, which are based upon reason and the teachings of Christ and which bring us the moral norms of Scripture and Tradition in a clear and organized manner. Only a person who really knows the moral requirements God has imposed upon man can possibly hope to live up to them and only such a person can be considered serious about his eternal salvation. Anyone who becomes familiar with Fr. Laux's Catholic Morality will have an excellent knowledge of Catholic moral principles, which knowledge will give him an intelligent understanding of his duties in life and will enable him to live in accordance with God's holy law for man- which in turn will enable him to save his immortal soul. This is the third of four books by Fr. Laux in this series.

Fr. Paul O'Sullivan How to Be Happy How to Be Holy
Tan Books 1992-03 0895553864 Paperback New Paperback
New; Very few Catholic writers indeed can touch the minds and hearts of all Catholics- whatever their background and Fr. O'Sullivan happens to be one of these rare few. The author teaches all Christians about prayer: 1) how to pray, 2) how to derive immense benefits from prayer, and 3) how to enjoy the deep consolation of prayer. In the process, he focuses first on the profound meanings of our basic Catholic prayers. Then he paints the wonders of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and finally he concludes on the power of ejaculations and the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. The most beautiful aspect of this consoling and moving book is his frequent use of lovely, short anecdotes from the lives of the Saints.

Francis J. Finn Harry Dee or Working It Out Father Finn
Tan Books & Publishers 2000-07 0895556723 Paperback New Paperback
New: Tan; 2000; Softcover; -2; -2; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Books by Father Finn. Young Dee arrives at St. Maure's thin and pale from his painful experiences involving the murder of his rich uncle. In this last book of the three, Tom and Percy help Harry recover from his early trauma- which involves solving "the mystery of Tower Hill Mansion". After many wild experiences, the three boys graduate from St. Maure's and head toward the life work to which God is calling each of them as young men. Harry Dee is one of Fr. Finn's Famous Three- Tom Playfair, Percy Wynn, and Harry Dee. These were the most popular of Fr. Finn's 27 Catholiic novels for young people. Resembling a Catholic version of Charles Dickens' stories, or even The Hardy Boys, these books were read by hundreds of thousands of young people in the late 19th and early to mid 20th century. Their quaint turn of the century language is part of the charm of the stoires and of Fr. Finn's own brand of humor. After young readers have gotten into his style, they find it hilarious. But besides being fun, the stoiries have a moral: Tom Playfair is an unruly little boy when his is sent to St. Maure's boarding school, but he develops into a good Catholic young man and leader- without ever losing his high spirits. But what about today's young people? We were given great encouragement to reprint these books by the experience of a teaching Sister who reads all 3 books each year to her 5th and 6th graders- with very gratifying results. Sister says she has seen drastic changes in students after hearing Fr. Finn's stories- marked improvements in behavior, motivation and character, especially in boys. Though both boys and girls enjoy the books immensely, she says "It's the boys that absolutely love them. It's a hero worship thing." And parents ask: Who's this Tom Playfair?- because that all the kids talk about at the dinner table on Monday nights." Grade level- 5th-8th grade and older! Tom Playfair was the "most successful book for Catholic boys and girls ever published in the English language"- Benzinger Brothers Publishers. Perfect for reading aloud at home or at school! Softcover book of 284 pages in New condition.; New

Tom and his buddies at St. Maure's befriend Percy and have a great time as they all work at turning Percy into an all-American Catholic boy. Percy Wynn is one of Fr. Finn's Famous Three- Tom Playfair, Percy Wynn, and Harry Dee. These were the most popular of Fr. Finn's 27 Catholiic novels for young people.
