  • Dilexit Nos – (Spanish)

    $14.95

    In his fourth encyclical, Dilexit Nos (“He loved us”), Pope Francis writes, at a time of profound global challenges, on the human and divine love of the heart of Jesus Christ. As Pope Francis observes, “We find ourselves immersed in societies of serial consumers who live from day to day, dominated by the hectic pace and bombarded by technology, lacking in the patience needed to engage in the processes that an interior life by its very nature requires.” The Holy Father calls for a change of perspective, urging humanity to rediscover what is most essential: the heart.

    In Dilexit Nos, Pope Francis invites us to reflect on aspects of the Lord’s love that could illuminate the path of ecclesial renewal and resonate meaningfully with “a world that seems to have lost its heart.” This encyclical, which includes reflections from Sacred Scripture and previous magisterial teachings, reintroduces the Church to the spiritually profound devotion to the Sacred Heart.

    The encyclical’s release coincides with ongoing celebrations commemorating the 350th anniversary of the first appearance of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1673, when he revealed to her his Sacred Heart.

  • Up Against A Crooked Gospel

    $30.00

    An essential text for students and scholars of womanist thought, ethics, biblical studies, and Black religion.

    Drawing upon her grandmother’s personal struggles with physical “bendedness” and the narrative of the bent woman in Luke 13:10-17, Melanie Jones Quarles engages Black religious thought and cultural criticism to expose how the Black Church paradoxically nurtures Black women while also sustaining their oppression. Quarles mines the prophetic imaginations of influential womanist thinkers, crafting a liberating vision that resists serving as surrogate “saviors” in society and religion.

    With insights into politics, Christology, and biblical interpretation, this book boldly calls Black women to unbend their bodies and reclaim their moral agency in the face of crooked systems that attempt to constrain their freedom.

  • Case Of Galileo And The Church

    $18.95

    Did the Church really martyr Galileo?

    Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.”

    The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told-until now-is sure to rock the established narrative.

    Walter Cardinal Brandmuller, an eminent Church historian and expert in Galilean research, evaluates the scientific research of the recent past and exposes shocking historical errors. Uninterested in whitewashing the problematic pages of Church history, he offers a balanced view of the controversy, illuminating it through the lens of a deeper historical understanding.

    Leaving no stone unturned, His Excellency separates the facts from the fiction to reveal:

    *Why the Inquisition became involved in Galileo’s “case” and what it really determined
    *Galileo’s multifaceted accomplishments, personality, and relationships
    *What famous critics, including Aristotelians, had to say about Galileo and his findings
    *How Galileo’s case embodied the scientific revolution and its view of the Church
    *Whether Scripture and science should be understood separately
    *How to perceive Galileo within the broader cultural and historical context of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

    You will discover the various aspects and philosophical views of the Galileo controversy, including how his personal polemics at times superseded his scientific research. Moreover, you will learn about significant scientists’ and theologians’ arguments regarding heliocentrism and other topics.

    The book includes an extensive bibliography of Galileo’s works and a timeline of his life, as well as a declaration from twelve Nobel Prize-winning scientists on the necessity of dialogue between science and religion and the need for the Church’s guidance.

  • Theology And Catholic Higher Education

    $30.00

    “Our problem in Catholic higher education is bigger than the collapse of ecclesial credibility, bigger than the behavior of the bishops, bigger than the waning interest in theological studies, and bigger than politics.” Massimo Faggioli

    Many Catholic universities in the United States have put their Catholic mission at risk by either ceding to secular neoliberal values or by doubling down on reactionary Catholic tribalism. Student enrollment declines as some schools market themselves no differently than secular colleges. Other, conversely, neo-traditionalist Catholic colleges ally themselves with regressive elements of the Church. Both trends, Faggioli says, reflect a dismantling of Vatican II’s vision for Catholic education.

    Scrutinizing this crisis in detail, Massimo Faggioli reviews the snowballing changes in Catholic higher education, advocating for a renewed incarnational and sacramental Catholic educational philosophy that rejects accommodation to secular technocracy as well as Catholic tribalism in order to embody the inclusive, socially conscious values of the Catholic tradition as expressed in the theology of Vatican II.

  • Dorothy Day : Spiritual Writings – Selected With An Introduction By Robert

    $24.00

    “It is no use to say that we are born two thousand years too late to give room to Christ. Nor will those who live at the end of the world have been born too late. Christ is always with us, always asking for room in our hearts.”

    Dorothy Day (1897-1980), co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement, has recently been proposed for canonization. Through her houses of hospitality, the practice of the works of mercy, and her prophetic work for peace and justice, she offered a radical witness to the gospel in action. But it was as much in her everyday life as in her public activities that she expressed her spirituality and found her path to holiness. This anthology explores the key themes that underlay Day’s spirituality. These begin with the call to see Christ in our neighbors, and the teaching that what we do for the poor, we do directly for him. Day’s spirituality was deeply influenced by St. Therese of Lisieux and her “Little Way” that showed the path to holiness in the daily exercise of patience, charity, and forgiveness. Dorothy extended this principle to the social dimension–the significance of all the little protests we make or fail to make. She frequently cited the “practice of the presence of God” and the “duty of delight”–the challenge to put love where there is none. She herself summed up her mission as a response to “the greatest challenge of the day” “How to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?”

  • Intensive Caring : A Practical Handbook For Catholics About Serious Illness

    $18.95

    When a serious illness or a health crisis occurs, few people are prepared to deal with it, and when faced with big medical decisions, patients often are confused and overwhelmed, and they are sometimes too sick to make important decisions. Many times, decisions fall to family and loved ones who don’t always know the patient’s wishes. Intensive Caring: A Practical Handbook for Catholics about Serious Illness and End-of-Life Care is the perfect resource to help everyone involved navigate the complexities of healthcare during serious illness and end-of-life care.

    In Intensive Caring, Dr. Natalie King, a palliative care physician, shares real-life patient stories and provides practical medical information to bring clarity and understanding to these complex healthcare decisions. In this easy-to-navigate guide, King helps you and your loved ones think through the issues at hand and align your decisions with your values and faith while safeguarding the sacred dignity of human life.

    By clearly explaining Catholic beliefs and guidelines and debunking common misconceptions about healthcare, King addresses the most common questions she receives as a medical professional, such as these:

    *What is palliative care, and how is it different from hospice?

    *If I am diagnosed with a serious illness, what kinds of questions should I ask my doctor?

    *How do I approach thinking about which healthcare options are best for me, and how do I communicate my preferences to my family?

    *What are advance directives, why do they matter, and what is important to include as a Catholic?

    *What is a “DNR,” and how should I understand and choose my options around resuscitation?

    *What does the Catholic Church say about artificial nutrition and hydration?

    *How do I advocate for my loved one’s dignity nearing the end of their life?

    King also outlines what she sees as the characteristics of a good death, offers tips on advocating for your needs and values, provides spiritual encouragement, and includes prayers for patients, parish communities, and caregivers.

    Most especially, King encourages you to have these healthcare conversations now, when you are healthy. Now is the time to communicate your preferences and desires to your loved ones. This will ease the stress, guilt, and worry when faced with end-of-life issues for you and your family.

    Intensive Caring extends beyond the realm of Catholic laity, encompassing clergy, pastoral workers, and healthcare professio

  • Super Habits : The Universal System For A Successful Life

    $24.95

    For too many of us, life is harder than it needs to be. We have forgotten the ancient system of “super habits” – a specific set of habits for making decisions, managing our emotions, and dealing with other people that fosters lives of greater ease, happiness, and power.

    Ancient civilizations relied on these habits to produce some of the greatest achievements in human history. Now, contemporary researchers in psychology, education, and management are rediscovering these habits and empirically demonstrating the power and goodness that they bring to everyday life.

    As many self-help gurus will tell you, we are the summation of our daily habits. What has so far been missing is a comprehensive guide to which habits are most valuable to us and how they work together as a system, for the best impact on our lives.

    This invaluable book by Dr. Andrew Abela shows how attaining virtue requires not a herculean effort but, rather, steady daily practice, which is accessible to all. He explains how the genius of a thirteenth-century philosopher-monk codified the super habits into a veritable human operating system, one that’s more relevant today than ever.

    Abela highlights:

    *How super habits make life easier – because once something becomes a habit, it takes less effort

    *Why super habits lead to lasting joy rather than just temporary gratification

    *The effects of super habits on physical, mental, and emotional health

    In a culture that prioritizes short-term fixes over long-term solutions, Super Habits offers a foundational, back-to-basics plan that produces both immediate and enduring results.

    Whatever issue you are struggling with right now, whatever challenge you may be facing, there is a super habit to help you overcome it.

    Dr. Abela equips readers with the tools needed to embrace the lifelong pursuit of self-improvement to attain a life of greater ease, joy, and strength.

  • Saints Pray For You

    $18.95

    When you think of saints, what image comes to mind? Maybe halos and angel wings, or maybe a football team from Louisiana. Or maybe you think of one of the most difficult stumbling blocks that Catholic belief presents for Protestants: the doctrine of the communion and intercession of the saints. Why do Catholics pray to dead people? How can we expect those same people to pray for us . . . and why would they want to? What about bowing to relics and statues? And where is all this in the Bible? Doesn’t it say that we’re all saints? These questions and others can keep other Christians at arm’s length from Catholicism-or worse, force them to conclude that Catholics have hopelessly mixed up true biblical religion with superstition and remnants of paganism. But in The Saints Pray for You, Karlo Broussard brings the answers, backed up with the Bible. He shows how the communion of saints is not a medieval fantasy, and their intercession is not a joke the Church plays on us. Appealing to the witness of Scripture and the practice of the early Church, while neutralizing the misguided prooftexts that Protestants deploy, Karlo convincingly defends the ancient Christian belief that the saints are our family in heaven and our prayerful allies in the work of our salvation.

  • Real Discipleship : How To Follow Jesus His Way – Not Ours

    $18.95

    Discipleship?? Isn’t that a Protestant thing? If you think that, you’re not alone. The concept of Christian discipleship gets stressed so much in Evangelical culture that many Catholics assume that-like “altar calls” or the “Rapture”-it’s not their concern. Or maybe you’re more familiar with a form of “discipleship” that stresses personal fulfillment, moral and doctrinal flexibility, and an individualist gospel that measures success by worldly standards. This idea has roots in Protestant “health & wealth” preaching, but you can find it in Catholic churches, too. Both of those notions are dead wrong, says Fr. Jeffrey Kirby. In his new book Real Discipleship, the author of the bestselling Real Religion says that discipleship should be the central concern of every Catholic-and that far from being all about us and our earthly needs, true discipleship is about following Jesus diligently on the path to the Cross. The temptations to false discipleship are all around us, but Fr. Kirby helps you navigate the straight road by distinguishing truth from falsehood in four areas: the person of Jesus, the example and teachings of his gospel, the way of living to which that gospel calls us, and the summit of that way of life in true eucharistic worship. A lively mix of personal stories, theology, history, Bible study, common sense, and prayerful meditation, Real Discipleship will be a valuable companion on your own journey along Christ’s path-all the way to Calvary and to eternal glory.

Spitzer’s Universe, to help you understand and share life’s greatest mysteries.

  • Celestial Web : Buddhism And Christianity – A Different Comparison

    $55.00

    A leading scholar of religion applies a new method of interfaith understanding to Buddhist-Christian comparative theology providing rich new insights for students and scholars alike.

    In his ground-breaking Gifford Lectures, published as Religious Pluralism & Interreligious Dialogue, Perry Schmidt-Leukel introduced his “fractal” theory of religions, challenging the tendency to distinguish religious traditions as discrete entities without acknowledging the wide variety within them, varieties essentially reproduced in different religious traditions.

    After offering an introduction to this new methodology to comparative religion, Schmidt-Leukel, in The Celestial Web, applies this method to a comparison between Buddhism and Christianity. Some of the points of comparison include their respective approaches to the world, ultimate reality, the “dark side” of human existence, and salvation/liberation in terms of the figures mediating it.

    Stereotypical approaches often treat these traditions as opposites, for instance, positing that Buddhism embraces an impersonal absolute, whereas Christianity affirms the primacy of one’s relationship with a personal God. Yet the fractal approach, which examines “intra-religious” varieties within the two traditions, reveals surprising points of congruence.

  • Green Saints For A Green Generation

    $30.00

    Young scientists, sisters, and theologians of the “green generation” reflect on “saints” canonized and not who offer hope and inspire us towards ecological action.

    “In the community of saints, all together are companions in memory and hope. Together, all together, they are becoming something strange and growing and great, instruments of change. Green Saints for a Green Generation taps beautifully into this dynamic for the sake of our suffering Earth, which cries out for no less.” From the Foreword by Elizabeth A. Johnson, CSJ

    In Laudato Si’ Pope Francis established care for creation as one of the central themes of Catholic social teaching. Yet that ecological consciousness has yet to take root en masse among the Catholic faithful. In Green Saints for a Green Generation young Catholic women on “saints” canonized and not who connected their faith to concern for the earth.

    The writers include a wide range of figures, from the traditional, such as Sts. Clare of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, and Marguerite Bourgeoys, to contemporary figures like Thomas Merton, author Toni Morrison, and the Martyrs of the Amazon. By connecting these key figures to environmental responsibility, the contributors encourage the not-yet informed to become active, inviting younger generations to join the ecological movement, to take taking on the responsibility from their elders, and to shoulder the ecological burden for themselves.

    Originally published in 1984, James Cone’s For My People remains an important landmark in the development of Black Theology. While tracing the origins of the movement, its relation to the Black Church, its engagement with other liberation theologies from the Global South, and the emergence of Womanist theology, he also offered telling reflections on the path ahead.

    Assessing this work, the great scholar C. Eric Lincoln observed: “For My People spares neither kith nor kin, but addresses itself to the whole range of factors in North American religion that make for the traditional black church/white church dichotomy, and the spiritual and social consequences that attend it. For My People is a strong commentary on both the role and the vitality of black theology, as well as on the pervasiveness of the problems that sustain the need for it.”

    In a new foreword, Josiah Young, who finished his PhD with Cone at Union Theological Seminary and now teaches at Wesleyan Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, reflects on the significance of this work within the corpus of Cone’s writing, and assesses the ongoing relevance of this work for the life of the Black Church, the ongoing project of Black and Womanist Theology, and the liberating application of the Gospel to our world today.

  • Stronger Than Evil

    $17.95

    There is no doubt that evil exists and that the devil’s potency has increased in our modern culture of death. The rise in demonic afflictions — from harassment and obsession to oppression and possession — is an alarming testament to the reign of the prince of this world.

    For decades, Vatican exorcist Fr. Gabriele Amorth has been the leading voice on the demonic, spiritual warfare, and spiritual protection. Even after his death, newly published writings from his extensive archives remain as relevant as ever in our fallen world.

    In this fresh work, Fr. Amorth conveys a hopeful message about the supreme power of God over Satan and his minions. Stronger Than Evil draws from Fr. Amorth’s exorcism ministry, affirming that the power over demons lies in Jesus Christ Himself.

    Fr. Amorth highlights some of the most powerful experiences in his deliverance ministry, giving concrete examples of divine intervention in desperate cases. He reveals:

    *The key differences between mental illness and demonic influence
    *How serious sin opens the door to demonic attack
    *Whether curses or evil spells are real, and what can be done about them
    *Why Satan is behind the pro-choice movement and the scourge of abortion
    *Evidence of the diabolical in modern music
    *The dangers and temptations of modern technology

    While recognizing the real threat of the diabolical, especially in a society that has rejected God, Fr. Amorth does not fall into the pit of despair. He leaves readers with a hopeful message: that grace is the “decisive defense” against our spiritual enemy. Here, Fr. Amorth personally testifies to the miraculous intervention of the saints, Our Lady, and the Holy Trinity in spiritual warfare, assuring readers that God is always in control. God keeps His promise to deliver us from evil.

Simply Scripture for Lent and Easter is the perfect place to begin. This daily prayer guide, keyed to the Lenten and Easter seasons, provides a simple framework for reading and reflection upon Mark’s Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. Bookend your day with morning and evening readings that incrementally walk you through these foundational books of the New Testament with greater confidence and understanding.

    Without skipping a single word of the biblical text, Colleen Reiss Vermeulen, director of the Catholic Biblical School of Michigan, offers a unique, prayerful approach to spiritual reading that satisfies both the mind and heart. Vermeulen guides you to begin and end your day with a prayerful reading of short passages from a single book of scripture, an approach that she has used for years with her own family.

    *First, contemplate a verse from the Liturgy of the Hours psalm.

    *Second, read a citation from Mark’s gospel (during Lent) or the Acts of the Apostles (Easter) with a short introduction.

    *Third, notice the weekly verse to remember and make an effort to memorize it throughout the week.

    *Fourth, reflect on the actual meaning of the passage, what God is saying to you, and how it applies to your life.

    *Finally, read the concluding prayer heard at Sunday Mass during Lent or Easter and traditionally used in the Liturgy of the Hours.

    Simply Scripture for Lent and Easter is perfect for an individual or for the whole family to do together. Children can get to know the real Bible, not just the stories, and grow attuned to hearing God’s

  • What Attracts Men To The Sacred Liturgy And Why

    $14.95

    In this timely book, acclaimed radio host and author Jesse Romero teaches men how the traditional liturgy equips them to put on the armor of Christ and fight the daily spiritual battle for souls.

    Drawing from his background in law enforcement and spiritual warfare, Romero outlines why the traditional Latin Mass spoke to him in such a powerful way and transformed his spiritual life. He describes how the implementation of the new Mass — with its emotionalism and horizontal focus — led men in particular to lose the zeal of the saints, and how the manner in which they worship God is central to restoring that fervor.

    Romero breaks down exactly why men find their “natural and supernatural home on this earth” at the traditional Mass. He highlights:

    *The sacrificial nature of the TLM, and how the actions of the Mass express each step of the Passion

    *The liturgy’s appeal to intellect over emotion

    *The power of silence in embracing mystery and instilling reverence

    *How the TLM is Christo-centric rather anthropocentric, and why this is the proper orientation toward the divine

    Romero includes select essays from priests on the efficacy of traditional prayers, and firsthand testimonies from powerful Catholic men of today, including NFL kicker Harrison Butker, UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten, and Navy SEAL Charlie Aeschliman, who have found solace and purpose in the traditional liturgy.

    As contributor Kyle Clement, a rancher, husband, and father puts it, “Part of the masculine disposition is a desire for ritual and fraternity — ritual meaning order. The Holy Roman Mass in the Tridentine form is ordered, and it is order that lifts the soul toward Heaven.”

    In the midst of a culture that distorts authentic masculinity and femininity, the timeless teachings of the Catholic Church, as expressed through her traditional liturgy, stand steadfastly in the fray.

    What Attracts Men to the Sacred Liturgy — and Why gives men insight into how the liturgy is the wellspring of their vocations, the source of their strength, and the fullest expression of the truth worth dying for.

  • Praying With The Church Through Advent

    $18.95

    At the beginning of every Mass, the priest-celebrant says, “Let us pray” and then offers a prayer to God the Father, through Jesus Christ, in union with the Holy Spirit. This Opening Prayer is called the Collect. During Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, this prayer is specific to the day; in the season of Ordinary Time, the Collect for each Sunday is repeated during the following weekday Masses.

    In Praying with the Church through Advent, Fr. Edward Looney offers a short daily meditation and reflection questions on that day’s Collect to help you better appreciate the richness of these liturgical texts and apply them to your life. Journaling pages are included to aid you in your Advent journey so that you may more fruitfully contemplate the liturgy and incorporate the spiritual lessons it offers.

    Fr. Looney invites you to spend a few minutes considering these meditations over a cup of coffee, or while resting in the Lord’s Presence, and praying with them before or after Mass. The reflections and questions may also be used for group discussions. In these absorbing passages, you will find:

    *A greater appreciation for the prayers of the Mass during Advent — and throughout the year
    *The secret to receiving the gifts that God is waiting to give you through the sacraments
    *How to create space for Christ and welcome Him into your heart and your home
    *Ways to deepen your prayer life and your relationship with God amid difficulties and dangers
    *How to break free from darkness and sin and live in the joy and freedom of God’s light
    *Practical tips for living your faith through works of charity in every season

As you enter into the mystery of the Word-made-flesh through these reflections, you will encounter Jesus’ Presence in the Holy Eucharist anew and experience the life-changing power of His love so that you may be restored in mind, heart, and soul as never before.

  • Desist Detrans And Detox

    $21.95

    In this actionable analysis of one of the most damaging movements of the modern age, renowned author Maria Keffler makes a compelling case that what lies at the core of the transgender phenomenon is a crisis of identity, and that only a loving but firm reality check can staunch the hysteria.

    Keffler makes unassailable arguments: Maleness and femaleness are immutable biological facts. Masculinity and femininity are personality constructs, conditioned by societal norms.

    But “gender,” the term favored by activists, has no solid definition. The language introduced by gender ideology is entirely subjective, which allows emotions to redefine reality. The very premise of the ideology is flawed and requires mental gymnastics of its adherents.

    Keffler outlines the disturbing parallels between cults and gender ideology: recruitment tactics that prey upon insecurities, indoctrination in nonsensical beliefs that must never be questioned, requirements to shun nonbelievers, and in-group newspeak which cultivates a sense of belonging.

    She exposes the cult of gender ideology with journalistic detail, digging into aspects the mainstream media chooses to ignore. She investigates:

    *The origins of modern gender ideology in the 1960s

    *How the obsession to “affirm” gender identity leads to medical negligence in overlooking mental health issues

    *The role of bullying and peer pressure in the gender cult

    *The rapidly growing community of detransitioners and their insightful firsthand testimonies

    Keffler also provides a manual for parenting children during the time they are most vulnerable to predatory gender activism. She instructs parents in navigating this brave new world, including discerning fact from fiction, setting boundaries regarding names and pronouns, how to find a trustworthy therapist, and how to determine what vulnerabilities led the child to the gender cult in the first place.

    The book includes an abundance of resources for parents whose children are currently in the throes of or recovering from gender dysphoria. Central to her approach is unconditional love and forgiveness, with a focus on moving forward together.

    Packed with statistical data, reasoned arguments, and practical advice, Desist, Detrans, and Detox equips readers to prevent, work through, and heal from the “medical scandal of the 21st century.”

    The way is simple. The Shepherd tells him: “I am the Way.” And the lamb eagerly follows Him. But while simple, the way is not easy. The lamb faces many obstacles on the path to happiness, including his own weakness and temptations.

    With whimsical storytelling and colorful imagery, this picture book gently introduces children to the challenge all Christians face during their lives. Parents and children alike will ask whether they have the courage to follow Jesus when the path before them becomes steep and rocky.

    Inspired by the parable of the Good Shepherd, who goes into the wilderness to rescue the sheep that strays, this tale of faith and forgiveness is sure to inspire greater love and devotion for the kindly Shepherd, who is always ready to find us and lead us home.

  • Christmas Book : The History, Traditions, And Customs Of Everyone’s Favorit

    $17.95

    Nothing warms the heart like Christmastime. All of us have precious memories of yuletide cheer, from the excitement of anticipation to the frenzy of preparations to the heartfelt family moments.

    Buoyed by the “contagious joy” of Christmas among his congregations in Buffalo and Boston, Fr. Francis X. Weiser compiled a treasure trove of Christmas lore to enrich holiday celebrations for generations to come. Fr. Weiser, who was born in Austria and emigrated to the United States, had long been fascinated by American Christmas culture, which he saw as a consolidation of all the most beloved traditions from the nation’s diverse immigrant communities.

    He relied on interviews with parishioners, once-lost documents, and well-known material culture to get to the root of such cherished customs as Nativity plays, gift giving, and Christmas caroling.

    In addition to exploring the cultural origins of beloved Christmas traditions, Fr. Weiser reveals their spiritual significance and explains their symbolism, including:

    *Why the first Christmas Mass is at midnight

    *The beginnings of Christmas caroling and the stories behind beloved carols

    *How Christmas lights represent Christ, the Light of the World

    *The true Christian origin of the Christmas tree, and the connection between the evergreen and eternal life

    *How various cultures honor St. Nicholas

    *How pre-Christian traditions gained new significance in light of the Incarnation

    Fr. Weiser considered holiday celebrations at home a “radiation of the liturgy,” a beautiful opportunity to cultivate the domestic church in family life.

    Packed with historical and liturgical references, literary excerpts, and charming anecdotes, this book will become a family favorite that’s revisited year after year in homes that welcome it.

    Join Fr. Weiser as he embarks on a tour of the jubilant celebrations that manifests the sublimity of the Incarnation in the American melting pot, from sea to shining sea.
