Padre Pio: The StigmatistFr Charles Mortimer CartyPadre Pio died on September 23, 1968, his funeral attended by over 100,000 people. During the fifty-eight years he was a priest, his monastery at San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, became a mecca for pilgrims from all over the world. Born Francesco Forgione on May 25, 1887 in the town of Pietrelcina in southeastern Italy, Padre Pio joined the Capuchin Order in 1903 and was ordained in 1910. On September 20, 1918 he received the sacred wounds of Christ, the stigmata, which he bore the rest of his life.Renowned for the stigmata, which modern medical science could not explain, Padre Pio also possessed other unusual qualities, such as bilocation, celestial perfume, reading of hearts, miraculous cures, remarkable conversions, and prophetic insight. Although he did not leave his monastery and was under obedience not to write or preach, this humble Capuchin monk became world famous for his piety, his counsel, and his miracles. He was universally regarded as a saint in his own time.

St Anthony the Wonder Worker of Padua Author: Charles Warren Stoddard This short biography about the life of St Antony of Padua, the holiest and gentlest of all the saints, reveals the greatest deeds and happenings of this glorious saint's life and there is not a single anecdote or moment of his life that would not move you to a sublime awe at the amazing power God bestowed on his servant. St Anthony was born in 1195 to a noble family of Lisbon, Portugal and was educated at the cathedral school of the city. At 15, he became an Augustinian canon in a nearby convent and moved to the motherhouse in Coimbra, Portugal, to avoid visits from family and friends. Later he joined a small Franciscan convent in Italy. On one occasion, when Dominicans came to the town for an ordination, there was no one to preach, and so Anthony was chosen. The astonishing potency of his eloquence, voice, and knowledge impressed many, and St. Anthony was swept up into a life of preaching and teaching (at the command of St. Francis himself) to the young Franciscan friars. He became renowned throughout Italy and southern France, and Pope Gregory IX called him the "Ark of the Covenant"; he was also known as the "Hammer of Heretics." Throughout his short life (he died at 36), he preached with astounding vigor and miraculous glory, performing miracle upon miracle. He reattached a young boy's foot, induced a starving mule to bow to the Eucharistic Lord rather than eat oats, preached to the fishes, and held the Baby Jesus. He is rightly called the wonder-worker of the Franciscans and is considered one of the greatest saints renowned throughout the world Within a year of his death he was canonized.
The Traditional Virtues According to St. Thomas Aquinas: A Study for Men This book will challenge every Catholic man to reach the heights of holiness. To mature as a man is to grow in virtue. And yet, year after year, many of us regress in our fundamental calling for a host of reasons: poor catechesis, modernism, isolation, self-absorption, and, to sum it up, the chains of vice. But God calls us to a life of virtue—that is, a life of faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. These theological and cardinal virtues, the “traditional virtues,” which this book walks through, are at the heart and soul of the spiritual life.
Stations of the Cross for Kids Prepared for ease of learning this book will help us follow our dear Lord Jesus as He travels the Way of the Cross.
Stories about Purgatory (30 Days for the Holy Souls) Originally arranged as 30 Days for the Holy Souls, this book was written to engrave on the minds and hearts of its readers an indelible understanding of Purgatory: first, that it exists; second, that the souls detained there suffer long and excruciating pains, likely even of the same nature as those of Hell, and thus that they desperately need our prayers, sacrifices, and Mass intentions; and third, that while we are still living, we ourselves should strive mightily to avoid Purgatory.We read in St. Matthew's Gospel, "Be ye therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). Yet we know that none of us is really perfect and that few human beings die in a state of soul with all their past sins atoned for during life. Most people whose souls are saved, therefore, end up detained for a time in Purgatory. Some reports say that the passage of "time" (though they have passed out of time, in a fashion) in these souls' perception is slowed to a hundredth or less of what we on earth experience. Thus, the agony and languishing of the Poor Souls often seems almost interminable. Stories about Purgatory and What They Reveal: 30 Days for the Holy Souls will impress upon your heart a healthy and holy respect for the sufferings endured by the Holy Souls, such that you will ever after remember them in your prayers and Masses. It will teach you also to strive to rectify your own life, that you may avoid Purgatory altogether—or at the very worst, spend very little "time" there before being united to God in Heaven. Belief in Purgatory is truly Catholic and consoling; it is a reality whose truth has been buttressed by many famous true stories, recorded here, of the sufferings undergone by the Poor Souls, plus their gratitude toward and wonderful aid for those who help them.

The Desecrators: Defeating the Cancel Culture Mob and Reclaiming One Nation Under God Deal W. Hudson, Matt Schlapp The enemy is no longer hidden in the dark but instead operates in broad daylight. Its attacks on Americans are clear and intensifying: cancel culture, wokeness, public shaming, urban violence, “whiteness,” and critical race theory. The enemy also seeks to undermine the sacredness of human life, failing to provide basic protection for the lives of the unborn. This enemy is called the Desecrators. The Desecrators tear down not only monuments but human nature, the biblical-natural conception of marriage, the family, parental rights, fact-based education, traditional moral values, and the Church.
The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism’s Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration Paul Kengor "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them…For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly place.” — Ephesians 5:11-6:12 In 1837, Karl Marx wrote: “My soul, once true to God, / is chosen for Hell.”While many think the danger of communism has passed, The Devil and Karl Marx proves otherwise. In this book, Paul Kengor describes the demonic nature of communist ideology and how it still exists in our world. Kengor covers all the things you need to know about the present danger of Marxism, including: Karl Marx’s influence historically The Bolshevik war on religion and the Church’s response The Church’s teachings on Atheism and Communism The way Marxism has infiltrated and manipulated members of the Church The way communism influences radicals today
The Dogma of HellFr. F. X. Schouppe, SJ “The Dogma of Hell is the most terrible truth of our faith. There is a Hell. We are as sure of it as of the existence of God, the existence of the sun. Nothing in fact, is more clearly revealed than the Dogma of Hell.” —Fr. François Xavier Schouppe, S.J. Many people have contemplated the joys of Heaven, but few Catholics take the dogma of Hell as seriously as they should. Hell is certainly not a topic to be taken lightly, and renowned French theologian Fr. Schouppe, S.J., gives the topic the thoroughness it deserves. Detachment from sin is difficult, but his explanations of the Church’s teachings on Hell show you why it is so important. Hell, the necessary consequence of sin, demonstrates the horror of sin and what it does to our souls. If you can begin to understand the terror of Hell, then you can also begin to free yourself from sinful habits.
