Some had children. Some were punished by civil law. Some had to turn their backs on riches. Some had to disentangle themselves from political relationships. But all converted and spent the rest of their lives doing penance -- a pattern that will be repeated till the End of Time by many other Great Magdalens. [more details...]

Blessed Alexandrina: A living miracle of the Eucharist      Kevin Rowles

Blessed Alexandrian Maria da Costa of Portugal (1904-1955), one of the great mystics of modern times, was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2004. A 'victim soul', chosen by Christ to suffer in atonement for the sins of humanity, she was bedridden for life from the age of twenty after sustaining injuries while escaping from an attacker. She mystically underwent the Passion of Christ on Fridays, and her astounding life has many connections to the events of Fatima and she is known in Portugal as 'the fourth seer of Fatima'. She urged all to 'Do penance, sin no more, pray the Rosary, receive the Eucharist'. For the last thirteen years of her life she miraculously lived on the Holy Eucharist alone, a medially confirmed fact. [more details...]

Life of St Francis of Assisi. "Francis, go and build up My house, which thou seest, is falling into ruin." To fulfill this command of Our Lord, St Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) began by restoring physical churches and continued by building up the spiritual Church in souls. Francis' humility, purity, and true joy inspired many to conversion and a deeper faith. Never ordained a priest, St. Francis nonetheless was a preacher and a miracle-worker of the first order - curing, prophesying, casting out devils, turning water into wine, and raising people from the dead. The Life of St Francis of Assisi by St Bonaventure conveys a picture of the Saint that renders an indelible impression of a man totally transformed by God. [more details...]

NEW Saint George: Knight of Lydda      Anthony Cooney

Saint George’s tale, like that of many hero-saints, has been overlaid with the fond embellishments of story-tellers throughout the generations. Anthony Cooney has re-examined the historical sources for the life of St George, and has forged these into a stirring and original historical novel. Here we rediscover St George as Giorgios Theognosta, the Roman cavalry officer from Lydda in Palestine, a Christian during the last days of the pagan Empire, a brave man who stands up for his faith during the final great wave of persecution. Giorgios’ integrity and military skill, inherited from his murdered father, bring him success in his career, but this success brings him the envy of a powerful enemy, one whom he will ultimately have to confront. In Giorgios’ company we journey to the corners of an Empire striving to hold its borders against those who reject Roman rule – from Germania to North Africa, from Persia to Britannia – encountering along the way a throng of historical characters: Aurelian, Diocletian, Galerius, Zenobia, an old British king named Coel, and Giorgios’ great friend, a promising young officer of the imperial family named Constantine . . . The action-filled narrative reveals much about the Christian Church of the third century, about life in the Roman army, and about how extraordinary legends can arise through the affectionate exaggeration and symbolic story-telling of a devoted scribe. “For such inventiveness and masterly composition, Anthony Cooney is to be congratulated. He draws on the bare bones of what we know of Saint George’s life and makes a convincing account. His detailed historical setting provides a background for the times in which the martyr lived, and his narrative sustains an interest throughout.” – Mark Elvins ofm Cap, author of Saint George – Who Was He? 'Saint George, Knight of Lydda is first-rate: a most evocative picture of Christianity in the third century, also of Roman life in general, and the first stages of the Empire’s decline. The story line is compelling, and the reconstruction of what St George’s upbringing and life would have been like is most imaginative. The descriptions of military life are excellent too'. – Philip Trower, author of Turmoil and Truth [more details...]

Remembering Inigo: Glimpses of the Life of Saint Ignatius of Loyola      Luis Goncalves da Camara

This 'Memoriale of Goncalves da Camara' gives us an intimate picture of Saint Ignatius of Loyola as a person and as a religious superior. Da Camara was chosen by Ignatius to record his personal recollections on his own religious experiences and development, later to become known as Ignatius's Autobiography. Here da Camara records concrete examples of how Ignatius actually behaved, how he treated those in varying states of Jesuit life, how he prayed and celebrated Mass. The picture of Ignatius he provided is astonishing even to Jesuits, showing Ignatius' very fallible human side, and Roman authorities for long were uncertain whether to allow publication of the work, only granted in 1904. Nonetheless it provides us with a valuable insight into a man who towered in sanctity and vision among his contemporaries and still does so today. [more details...]

Wife, Mother and Mystic      Albert Bessieres, S.J.

The story of Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi, a woman singled out at the age of twenty-one, to receive revelations from Our Lord and the Blessed Mother, which continued until her death. In her visions she foresaw much of the political turmoil that took place during her life most significantly the French Revolution and subsequent weakening of the Church's temporal authority. She also read the state of souls, both living and dead. Despite these miraculous gifts, she was content to fulfill her station in life as the wife of a poor serving-man and the mother of seven children. Wife, Mother and Mystic chronicles the events of an extraordinary life and yet, the great lesson of this biography is not found in the extraordinary, but in this modest woman's constant, hidden "striving after holiness" in her most ordinary tasks.

Invited by the Blessed Virgin Mary, Luisa Piccarreta offered herself to the Lord as a victim of love and reparation when she was 17 years old.

Poem of the Man-God - 5 volume set      Maria Valtorta

Narrates the birth and childhood of the Virgin Mary and her Son Jesus; the three years of Jesus’ public life; his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension; the beginnings of the Church; and the assumption of Mary. The work describes landscapes, environments, people, and events with the vividness of graphic depiction. It presents characters and situations with introspective insight and sets forth moments of joy or drama with the feeling of someone really taking part in them. It provides information on the characteristics of settings, customs, rites, and cultures with convincing detail. By way of a gripping account of the Redeemer’s earthly life, especially through discourse and dialogue, the work sheds light upon the whole doctrine of Christianity in keeping with Catholic orthodoxy. The greatly-revered Gabriele M. Allegra, who highly esteemed Valtorta’s work, wrote, “Gifts of nature and mystical gifts harmoniously joined together account for this masterpiece of Italian religious literature and—perhaps I should say—of Christian literature on a world level.” The Poem of the Man-God, a worldwide success of spiritual literature, is now available in English. It is an inspired work or, as some say, a “gospel” which neither replaces nor changes the Gospel, but rather narrates it, integrating and illuminating it, for the purpose of reviving in men’s hearts love for Christ and his Mother. The Poem of the Man-God is a series consisting of five volumes. Separate volumes available at £27.50 each. [more details...]
