  Ven Se Mi Luz – (Spanish)

  $21.00

  This historic work reveals the inner spiritual life of one of the most beloved and important religious figures in history.

  Available for the first time in Spanish! This historic work reveals the inner spiritual life of one of the most beloved and important religious figures in history.

  During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions. Her extraordinary contributions to the care of the sick, the dying, and thousands of others nobody else was prepared to look after has been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known, however, about her own spiritual heights or struggles. This collection of her writing and reflections, almost all of which have never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa’s interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time.

  Compiled and presented by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., who knew Mother Teresa for twenty years and is the postulator for her cause for sainthood and director of the Mother Teresa Center, Ven, Se Mi Luz brings together letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades. A moving chronicle of her spiritual journey-including moments, indeed years, of utter desolation-these letters reveal the secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the soul.

  Ven, Se Mi Luz is an intimate portrait of a woman whose life and work continue to be admired by millions of people.

  Madre Angelica – (Spanish)

  $23.00

  In 1981, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and $200, launched what would become the world’s largest religious media empire in the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama, monastery. Under her guidance, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace, both in viewership and in influence, to where it now reaches over a hundred million viewers in hundreds of countries around the globe.
  Raymond Arroyo combines his journalist’s objectivity and eye for detail with more than five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica. He traces Mother Angelica’s tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce opposition she faced, both outside and inside of her church.

  La historia extraordinaria de la Madre Angelica, fundadora de la multimillonaria Cadena de Television Eternal World y “la catolica mas influyente de Estados Unidos”, segun la revista Time.En 1981, un ao despues de que Ted Turner creara CNN, una sencilla monja, solo con sus instintos empresariales y doscientos dolares, fundo en el garaje de un monasterio de Birmingham, Alabama, lo que se convertiria en el imperio religioso de medios de difusion mas grande del mundo. Bajo su guia, la Cadena de Television Eternal World (EWTN) crecio a un ritmo asombroso, tanto en numero de televidentes como en influencia, hasta el punto de que ahora llega a mas de cien millones de televidentes en cientos de paises de todo el mundo.Nacida como Rita Rizzo en Canton, Ohio, en 1923, la Madre Angelica fue abandonada por su padre y criada en la pobreza por una madre que padecia de depresion. De joven, Rita sufrio fuertes dolores abdominales que los medicos pensaron que se debian a un “problema de los nervios”, pero sus sintomas desaparecieron cuando una mistica de su localidad rezo por ella. Al darse cuenta del poder de la oracion, Rita juro dedicar su vida a Dios y se hizo monja de clausura, con la esperanza de pasar toda su existencia lejos del mundo. Pero muy pronto, la fe de Rita la impulso a realizar obras increibles, desde establecer un monasterio en Alabama hasta dar inicio a la primera cadena catolica de television por cable. Confiando unicamente en “la providencia de Dios”, la Madre Angelica construyo un imperio sin prestar atencion a presupuestos ni a campaas de recaudacion, y logro lo que ni los mas altos prelados de la Iglesia Catolica habian logrado hacer.
