Blessed Alexandrina: A living miracle of the Eucharist

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...]

Remembering Inigo: Glimpses of the Life of Saint Ignatius of Loyola

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...]

St Jude Thaddeus: Helper in Desperate Cases

St Jude Thaddeus: Helper in Desperate Cases      Anonymous

In desperate circumstances, the Faithful have always turned to the sure help of St. Jude Thaddeus - Apostle, cousin of Our Lord and martyr for the Catholic Faith. This powerful Saint is invoked in cases of extreme need, grievous illness, poverty, and when circumstances seem hopeless. Plus, he is a special defender of (and helper in regaining) purity. St. Jude has obtained remedies and comfort for countless people who have turned to him in prayer. It explains his relationship to Our Lord and describes his preaching of the Gospel in Persia. There, along with St. Simon, he performed many miracles, defeated two magicians, converted thousands - including kings - and was martyred. Besides many interesting traditions about St. Jude, this booklet also contains the entire text of the Epistle of St. Jude with an explanation of this little-known New Testament book. Also includes famous, powerful prayers and novenas. [more details...]

The Prophecies of St Malachy

The short, cryptic prophecies of St. Malachy, the Primate of Ireland, made circa 1140 while on a visit at Rome, about each Pope from his time till the End of Time--all based on visions he had at the time. From what we know of recent Popes, these prophecies are accurate, based on interior evidence alone. What is so very sobering is the fact there are only 2 Popes left after Pope John Paul II!!

The Life of St Philip Neri

The Life of St Philip Neri      Antonio Gallonio

St Philip Neri is one of the best-loved saints of all time. Known as the ‘Apostle of Rome’, he set in motion a great renewal of Christianity at the heart of the Church’s capital city during the 1500s. St Philip’s foundation of the Oratory began by encouraging young laymen to conversion, prayer, and apostolic works, and through them gradually brought about a reform of the entire Church. This account of Philip’s life, written by his disciple Antonio Gallonio soon after the saint’s death, captures well his love of God’s work in the face of a corrupt society; his great sense of humour, which he would often use to remind people of hidden spiritual realities; and the many conversions wrought by St Philip during his lifetime. A very readable introduction to the saint, beautifully illustrated with antique engravings of episodes from the biography. [more details...]
