Miracles Of The Saints
$39.95
Who, having witnessed a miracle, can deny the power of God?
This awe-inspiring compendium of testimonies of the miraculous reinforces the role of
supernatural grace in the life of the Church. The stories demonstrate how miracles prove the
omnipotence of God, who speaks through His saints to heal and convert souls.
Miracles of the Saints is a colorful treasury that includes stories of well-known saints as well as new intercessors in the Church Triumphant.
Illustrated with holy images and photographs of their homelands, this collection brings to life the reality of these saints’ lives and works, from ancient times to present-day canonizations by Pope Francis.
Readers will discover:
*All that can be known about St. Philomena’s mysterious life and origins, and how her intercession has brought about miracles for centuries
*How St. Anthony of Padua converted a Cathar heretic by commanding a mule to venerate the Blessed Sacrament
*St. Conrad of Piacenza’s “miracle of the bread,” which fed the hungry during the great famine of Sicily
*How St. Mariam of Bethlehem, who grew up in the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land, miraculously overcame numerous obstacles to her vocation and received the stigmata
Each featured saint points to the power that comes not from themselves but from God, who
provides these gifts to bring souls closer to Him. These saints humbly remind us that sainthood and the supernatural events associated with it ultimately consist of daily death to self and embodiment of the Gospel.
The saints profiled in this book provide instruction for how to hold fast to the Faith in a sinful
world. Their miracles – both during their lifetimes and after their deaths – testify to the level
of holiness they attained and prompt us to meditate on the Beatific Vision they now enjoy due to the choices they made in life.
Whether through increased devotion to a patron saint or discovery of a new friend in Heaven, these stories will inspire and encourage you to grow in heroic virtue.

Prayer In The Digital Age
$16.99Add to cartThe digital age is an age of information overload. In this noisy, technology-driven world, full of important news and urgent messages, spending silent time in prayer can seem impossible.
In his second book, Matt Swaim brings to light the obstacles to prayer inherent in our digitally-connected culture and explores both the challenges and benefits of living a Christian life in the 21st century. Drawing on the spiritual wisdom of such masters as St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Therese of Lisieux, and Venerable Pope John Paul II, Swaim provides practical suggestions for learning how to “unplug” and incorporate prayer into one’s daily life.
Delve into how technology truly affects our faith:
In a culture suffering from information overload, what’s the difference between knowing facts about God and actually knowing God?
How does our desire to be entertained interfere with knowing God as He really is, rather than just as we want to perceive Him?
What are the distinctions between employing media and information as tools to aid evangelization and spiritual growth while avoiding a purely consumer approach to the faith?
How can information overload deaden our ability to listen? -
